What My Clients Are Saying About Their Magical Vacations
If you are looking to plan a trip to Disney, Yolanda goes above and beyond! She is amazing! She helped me organize and plan a trip for me and seven of my family members. Everyone wanted different things and she made it happen! Yolanda helped make our trips that much more magical with all of her knowledge and tips! Even during the trip she would text us tips based on the weather or day to make our trip even more magical! She is the sweetest and makes you feel like you are a part of her family! I look forward to working with her again when we book our next trip. I recommend her to anyone who mentions going on a trip to Disney.
- Caroline Serafino, Walt Disney World Resort vacation
We've traveled to Disney (World and Land) many times before, but this was our first time working with Pip's Travel - and what a difference it made! Yolanda made the entire process effortless and she guided us at every step along the way making recommendations, providing fantastic insider tips, and making this one of the best family vacations we've ever had. Her Disney knowledge was invaluable and we cannot wait to visit the parks again and know that Pip's Travel will again be the first stop we make. Thank you!!
- Stephen Kaplan, Walt Disney World Resort vacation
Planning a Disney trip can be overwhelming but Pips Travel made the Disney planning process simple and enjoyable. From start to finish, Yolanda was helpful, thorough, and an absolute pleasure to work with.
She gave me countless options and prices for hotels. She reminded us when to begin looking at restaurants and fast passes. She even made those reservations for us! She kept me posted on park and resort changes throughout the three times we booked this trip because of covid.
While we were in the parks, she checked in on us and answered our questions while we were traveling. Disney is all about magic and Pip enhances it.
- Jennifer Lubonski, Walt Disney World Resort vacation
"Yolanda helped plan our trip for the whole week from the minute we woke up until the park closed.
She was quick to reserve fast passes and dining reservations for us! I was very happy with the restaurants she recommended too. She even helped us along the way when we had some technical reservation issues through the my experience app. She made our first Disney trip super enjoyable.”

“As a single mom of 3 young boys, I actually dreaded going to Disney. But, Yolanda
made it seamless
and gave me tips that allowed us to ride all the great rides without wasting any time. My boys and I love Disney! We can’t wait to go back!”
-Rosa Lee, Disneyland Resort vacation
After cancelling our original trip due to the quarantine last year, I was surely missing Disney World and couldn’t wait to get back! This year, we booked our return to WDW just 45 days before our trip start, and Yolanda was amazing at helping us get all the details together in such a short time. Thanks to Pip’s Travel, my mom and I built lasting memories, sharing my first alcoholic drink at Oga’s Cantina and some graduation/birthday desserts at the Beast’s castle thanks to Yolanda! Additionally, we were so glad to ride the must-see Rise of the Resistance with Yolanda’s thorough instructions on booking a boarding group! All in all, I’d highly recommend booking a trip with Pip!
- Courtney Lau, Walt Disney World Resort vacation
As our first Disney trip together, we were definitely a little nervous, but booking through Pip's Travel made it so easy! We didn't have to think about anything on vacation except to have fun! She was so organized, giving us folders of information and taking care of everything from Fastpasses to dining reservations, getting us the best deal (as college students, of course!). We're already looking forward to our next trip together after the pandemic and will 100% be cooking with Pip's Travel again!
- Alyssa Rivera and Greg Fuerte, Walt Disney World Resort vacation
My family had been fortunate enough to have taken two different Disney trips. One was to Disney World in Orlando and the other to a cruise on the Disney Magic. As much as I enjoy planning our vacations, I knew that for Disney we would need an expert. So, enter Yolanda Rivera, owner of Pip’s Practically Perfect Travel. Her Disney knowledge cannot be matched, and her helpfulness in planning specific details of your trip will leave you wondering why you didn’t utilize her services sooner. So, don’t delay! Disney is waiting for you!
- Alexa Soto, Walt Disney World & Disney Cruise Line vacation
I have been planning my Disney vacations with Yolanda since 2016 and my experience with her has been consistently great. She is a joy to correspond with and she is so knowledgeable and efficient that she makes any vacation super easy. Disney vacations can sometimes surprise you with the amount of advance planning you need, especially if you want to enjoy one of the seasonal parties or events, and Yolanda makes this process stress-free. I know that when I work with Yolanda that I’m always going to get the best deals and the best customer service so planning my vacation is always fun and easy.
- Kei Horikawa, Walt Disney World Resort, Universal Orlando Resort, & Disneyland Resort vacations since 2015!
In 2015. we took a long awaited family trip to Disney. This was my kids first time there and we had a blast! Yolanda was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about planning the best trip possible for my husband, myself and our 4 children ranging in age from 6-14. We had an amazing final dinner at Cinderella's Castle, all pre arranged by Yolanda. Our accommodations were great for the 6 of us where the kids could be comfortable in our Nemo themed room and had great pools for the kids to enjoy our down time. I highly recommend using Yolanda Rivera for anything and everything Disney (or even Universal)! I know we will be!
- Claudia Balestier, Walt Disney World Resort vacation
“Just wanted to give a shout out to my favorite… Yolanda Gonzalez-Rivera! Last year Yolanda helped us plan our daughters sweet 16 in the most magical place on earth! She planned a fantastic trip for 9. She didn’t miss a beat and made sure that every moment was magical. Thank you!!!
-Filona Leechow, Walt Disney World Resort vacation
“I can not express how special you made our trip! Stress free and so well organized!! Can’t wait to work w/ you again! I highly recommend you to everyone!!”
-Natalia J Zorrilla, Disneyland Resort vacation
“I truly cannot say enough about how wonderful Yolanda was at planning our entire Disney trip. This was our first trip with our daughter who was celebrating her 7th birthday there. From the great room accomodation overlooking the Magic Kingdom to the delicious meal recommendations and perfectly paced fastpass selections… we were all living a dream! Thank you, thank you, thank you Yolanda! We can’t wait to plan our next Magical trip with you!”
- Stephanie Mallardi Palumbo, Walt Disney World Resort vacation
As someone who travels a lot for business and pleasure, I usually prefer to handle all of the arrangements myself, except for Disney trips when I can utilize Yolanda and her expertise. I’ve been going to Yolanda for a number of years now, and she’s been a big part of why every trip has been a success. I really appreciate her knowledge and attention to details. It’s hard to always stay on top of all the deals and changes that are happening at Disney World every year, but with Yolanda helping, there's no need to fear you’re not getting the best deal possible or that you’ll miss out on anything. She’s a “must” part of booking a Disney trip.
- Emi Horikawa, Walt Disney World Resort, Universal Orlando, & Disneyland Resort vacations since 2015!
A small trip for immediate family grew and grew, as others heard about our plans and joined us. Yolanda quickly and cheerfully gave us every new updated quote, guided us through the booking, provided great information before we arrived about how to prepare and make the most of our time together in Disney, and was available throughout our trip, even scoring one or two "magical “extras” that had been sold out during our stay. We highly recommend Pip’s Travel!
- Heather Brown-Huston, Walt Disney World Resort vacation
“Thank you so much again, Yolanda. She makes planning a Disney trip the most absolute easiest thing. You tell her exactly what you’re looking for and she truly provides. I’m so happy I was recommended to her by a friend. Can’t wait to plan my next trip with you, Yolanda!”
-Aisha Nash, Disneyland Resort vacation
“Thanks again to Yolanda Gonzalez-Rivera for helping plan a wonderful little vacation and finding us a beautiful & comfy room. It was the perfect room to come back to after a long day at the park - we didn’t want to leave the next day!”
-Rachael Chau, Disneyland Resort vacation
