I have dreamed about owning my own Travel Agency for a long time. I am fortunate enough to be sharing my dream with my amazing team. What was once a simple dream has now enabled us to share our love of Disney so that we can help make dreams come true for other families. |

I always had a love for Disney shows and movies growing up, but my love for Disney parks was sparked when my husband surprised me with my first ever trip to Walt Disney World just one year into our marriage. Before our kids were born we would go for just one or two days, we could not get enough of the parks.
We took our twin daughters when they were just eleven months old. They were instantly in love with the parks and characters. On one of our earlier visits Snow White carried one of my girls around for the longest time while we hid from the rain, that was the moment I knew both girls would also be Disney fans for life. Since that trip our family has been to the Walt Disney World® Resort many times and even moved to Florida to be closer to our favorite place.

We took our first Disney Cruise in 2006 and have taken over thirty sailings as a family. Disney Cruise Line is our favorite way to vacation. Disney's private island in the Bahamas, Castaway Cay is truly one of my favorite places in the world and I look forward to every time I am able to visit. I was very fortunate to be among the first people on Disney's newest ship, the Disney Wish on both the Enchanted Showcase Sailing and the Maiden Voyage.
Two of my other favorite Disney destinations are Disney's Vero Beach and Aulani, a Disney resort and spa in Ko Olina Hawaii. Both are beautiful beach front resorts that offer rest and relaxation.
If you asked my girls their favorite Disney destination both would say the Disneyland® Resort in California. Growing up going to Walt Disney World, both girls found Disneyland new and exciting while still being similar to their home park. With the new addition of Avengers Campus in California Adventure park both girls never want to leave and beg to visit every year.

I was fortunate enough to take an Adventures By Disney to Italy in 2017. This was the most unforgettable vacation of my life. We ate the best pizza in Rome, made our own Venetian masks in Venice and made our own pasta in the countryside of Tuscany. We visited many historical sites including the Coliseum and the Vatican and tried many local foods. It truly was the adventure of a lifetime.
As a former first grade teacher I value the insight of children and remember the excitement of my former students when they came back from vacation.
“If you can dream it, you can do it. Always remember that this whole thing was started with a dream and a mouse.” ~ Walt Disney
My goal is for you to feel the magic the same way that my family has!

Arabella celebrated the most magical moment in Magic Kingdom with Peter Pan. I am still crying happy tears thinking about the special moment that we shared walking hand in hand while all my dreams came true! Every Character Spot was thrilled to say happy birthday to our sweet little mouseketeer! We are already planning our next amazing adventure in November!
Hi Kristin
I believe in the madness of work and Disney prep I totally forgot to email you to thank you so much for the package you sent last week and most importantly for the generous gift cards!!!! We all appreciate them so much thank you for being so helpful and friendly and generous through this whole process. Jess Dear Kristin, Our first Toy Story Ride in years! And No LINES!! Thanks so much-we had a great time at the Tink's Private Breakfast Event and seeing Mickey. We had a great trip!~Lynn
"Thank you for planning an amazing Adventure By Disney vacation. Everything was perfect. We look forward to our next adventure.~Julie
“Thank you! Kristin is awesome & very helpful! ~ Melissa”
Kristin was fantastic. We are Disney veterans but with Covid and all the changes wanted to get a little extra help for this trip. She knew exactly what she was talking about. She was organized, friendly, helpful and we will absolutely use her in the future.
Kristen was amazing. Our magic bands were lost by USPS and she went out of her way to get them to us at check in, even the colors we selected! We already have her planning our next visit!
Kristin was so knowledgeable and did everything in her power to make sure we had a wonderful trip.
Super helpful and friendly not pushy at all
Kristin was fantastic from first contact to final delivery of the itinerary. No question was too big or too small - she looked after this first timer very well! She was very knowledgeable about pretty much everything and when I did somehow manage to ask a question about something she wasn't sure of, she got me an answer within 24hrs. Kristin was proactive in making sure that we had the perfect holiday. The best example of this was when she had clearly paid attention when she'd asked about our interests and I mentioned we were big Star Wars fans. Disney quietly released the reservations for Galaxy's Edge activities and knowing time would be of the essence she swooped in there and scored us Oga's, droid building and saber building at PERFECT times and then dropped us an email afterwards to let us know. So many people had issues getting in to reserve their Galaxy's Edge activities, but we didn't have to worry about a thing with Kristin on the case! That's how our full experience with Kristin felt - we didn't have to worry about a thing!

I can't thank you enough for your help with our last minute trip! Answering my questions along the way and even when we were down there! Tyler getting chosen to be the Beast and dancing with Belle was adorable. He couldn't stop talking about the Jedi training...Avatar was one of our favorites... Brooke and I loved the Summit Plummet! What a thrill! Thanks for all your help! :) Karen
Just wanted to tell you that we made it safely ... Everything is perfect! We are on the tenth floor with a perfect view of the park!! We can't thank you enough for all of your help!! Xoxo Erica
"Kristin took care of everything, and her knowledge of all things Disney made navigating multiple parks and tens of thousands of people a breeze." Dennis House (Read his entire review here)
I can not thank you enough for the amazing package you sent us. Just received it today and the kids are sooo excited. That was so extremely thoughtful of you!!!😊
Thank you from all of us The LaBarberas Tinks is the most able customer service company I have ever dealt with. Kristin's knowledge of all aspects of Disney is exceeded by her ability to treat her customers as family. Our adult wheelchair bound son loves Kristin and her family as if they were actual family - from FaceBook
WOW - we had the best best time!!! I seriously cannot wait to go back, I learned a lot, had quite the blast, and can't stop thinking about how amazing it is down there! Thank you - I know I likely could have purchased my tickets by myself, but I really feel like you helped me a ton, and I loved working with you. I can't say enough about how awesome you are, and how amazing it is down there! :) Best, Amy
Dear Kristin, thank you so much for all your hard work helping us plan our Disney Vacation. We all had a fabulous time.. It was wonderful🎈🎈 Barb
“Hi Kristin, We are back! I wanted to thank you for your wonderful service you gave us for our trip to Disney. We followed your tips and the itinerary you set for us making only a few changes and it was really a Magical vacation! The dinners you set up for us were amazing and they worked out so great. Loved the different ways of traveling to the dinners either via boat or bus. The meals were so delicious but Raglan Road stands out just a bit more than the rest. I have already recommended you very highly to my sister in law that is thinking of going to Disney. She has 2 girls as well. Again, thank you for all your assistance and being so prompt and courteous! ~All the best, Kristen
“Dear Kristin, Thank you so much for helping us book the Southwest Splendor trip by Adventures by Disney. Frank and I had a vacation we will never forget. We loved getting to experience the beauty of the American Southwest without having to fret about all of the trip logistics. Everything worked seamlessly! Our adventure guides were wonderful and looked after our every need. We would love to go on another Adventures by Disney trip in the not too distant future! Our experience with you truly lived up to the name “Tink’s Magical Vacations.” — Thanks, Peggy”
