About

Hi, I’m Ray — your go-to Disney trip expert and magic enthusiast.

After more than 100 visits to the parks — as a kid, a young adult, a newlywed, and now as a dad — I can honestly say: every visit still feels like the first time.

I started AdventureNears Travel to share that feeling with you. I believe planning your dream vacation should feel as magical as the trip itself — not overwhelming or stressful. That’s where I come in.

With me, you’re not just getting a travel agent.

You’re getting someone who lives and breathes the magic:

• I proposed to my wife during the fireworks.
• I grew up quoting Disney Channel Original Movies.
• I tear up every time I see the castle.
• And I truly believe: there is no wrong way to do Disneyland.

Whether you’re chasing hyperspace with Star Wars, dancing down Main Street, or reliving your favorite Marvel moment, I’ll help you build a trip that fits your vibe and your crew.

No stress. All joy.

What You Can Expect From Me:

• Passion — I love this stuff. You’ll feel it in every recommendation.
• Fun — Vacations should be fun from start to finish (even planning!).
• Authenticity — No sales scripts. Just real, honest advice.
• Expertise — I know the parks, hotels, apps, snacks, and all the tips.
• Adventure — From Disney Cruises to park-hopping, I help you dream big.
• Personalization — Your trip, your way. I’ll make it feel like your story.

Plan Less. Adventure More. Experience Magic.
