Amy Prikazsky, Owner
Hi! I’m Amy Prikazsky, owner of Pirates & Princesses Travel. My love for Disney grew from a young age when I visited Walt Disney World regularly with my family all the way through college where I had the chance to work at Walt Disney World in the Emporium on Main Street, USA, learning the in’s and out’s and behind the scene secrets of Walt Disney World! One of my favorite Walt Disney World memories was getting to watch The Mickey Mouse Club being filmed in 1994 at Hollywood Studios. I live in Hartsville, SC with my husband[Kaz] and 3 children[Annie Rice, Maggie, and Finn]. My love of Disney has carried over into their lives and it’s not uncommon to find us setting sail on Disney Cruise Line or relaxing at Disney’s Hilton Head Island, our absolute favorite Disney Destination as a family. While we love Disney, we also love Universal as well and are Annual Passholders. As an agency our goal is to create personalized vacation options for your family and to walk alongside of you, guiding you through the entire planning process ensuring nothing slips through the cracks, so that you feel like a PRO before even leaving for your vacation.
Elizabeth Walsh, Founding Owner
My earliest memory at Walt Disney World was at the magical age of just before turning 3. I was in the Haunted Mansion with my mom and I still remember the buggy tilting back to go down the hill. All I can say is that I was scared to death! But I kept coming back for more thrills and thankfully, it was the first of many memorable occasions. I've been countless times throughout my life as a child, teenager, college student, newlywed and now as a mom with kids of my own. I love giving Disney advice; it is truly a passion. It's a big World out there and it's better to navigate through it with someone as your guide. More recently, as my kids have gotten older, my family has fallen in love with Disney Cruise Line. I like to refer to my kids as true Disney nerds. My oldest son can tell you any Disney history including the why and the connections in the many Disney stories. The only question I have is where will your story take you?

Tim & chARISSA bJORGEN, iNDEPENDENT coNTRACTORS
When they were first invited on a couples Walt Disney World trip with friends, Tim and Charissa discovered the magic of Disney Parks and couldn’t wait to come back again and again! Value for the dollar has always been at the top of their list, so when they first started visiting as a broke, newly married couple, they fell in love with how easy it was to seemingly step out of reality and step into such a fun, magical world. Now, as their budget and family makeup have changed, they continue to highly value and excitedly plan for regular visits to the “the most magical place on earth”! They’ve added to their family through foster care, adoption, and birth, and with each new little child that they've welcomed, they couldn’t wait to bring each one to the parks! Tim and Charissa’s walls and photo albums are covered with amazing pictures, both as a couple and as a growing family. But most of all, their hearts, and those of their children, are filled with memories of prayers and wishes that came true and were celebrated by spending time together at such a unique and special place! Tim and Charissa love everything from small, intimate trips to big, over-the-top extended family celebrations. To them, quality time is priceless and they count it a privilege to help you make the most out of every moment and dollar!
Courtney Freeman, Independent Contractor
I traveled to Disney World a few times when I was younger, but my true love for Disney began as an adult when I took my own children to Walt Disney World for the first time. Now we cannot get enough! At home, we often talk about our favorite Disney rides, snacks, and resorts. At any given time, you can also find us talking about what we will do on our next Walt Disney World vacation. I am currently on a mission to find all of the best coffee drinks in the parks. While I enjoy all 4 parks at Walt Disney World, EPCOT has my heart (and so far, my favorite coffee). My family has made the best memories during our trips, and now I LOVE chatting about all things Disney! I live in Hartsville, SC with my husband (Tommy), our two boys (Thomas and Cullen), and our sweet pup, Milly.
Savannah Vaught, Independent Contractor
I grew up loving all things Disney and the magic came to life when my parents took me to Walt Disney World for the first time. It was exciting as a kid, but I grew to love Disney even more as an adult seeing it through my son's eyes. Now, we're obsessed! I don't think a week goes by that we aren't trying to figure out what and when our next Disney trip will be! I'm a 90's Mickey nostalgic, so you can catch me rope dropping Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway every time we visit Hollywood Studios. My husband's favorite park is EPCOT, for obvious reasons (snacks and drinks), and one of his favorites... Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. And lastly, my son most enjoys Magic Kingdom for all the character sightings, shows, and rides. We truly enjoy each park because the details and experiences are all so special in their own way. I live in the Myrtle Beach area of SC with my husband (Dustin), our little boy (Jed). We're extra thankful for a direct flight from MYR to MCO!

Holly Stiles, Independent Contractor
Hi! I’m Holly Stiles. I’ve been happily married to my husband, Tim, for 24 years. Together, we have five children (Finley, Maxton, Lennon, Oliver & Emerson) ranging from 5 to 20 years old, including three biological and two adopted. Our family enjoys a blend of home and public schooling and love doing anything Disney! As a Disney enthusiast, my earliest memory is attending a luau at the Polynesian Resort when I was around 7, where I was invited to hula dance on stage with Donald Duck and the dancers—an experience I’ll never forget. Disney has played a significant role in our family’s journey, serving as the backdrop for our honeymoon, our kids’ first haircuts, multigenerational trips, and adoption celebrations. With countless visits under my belt, I’m excited to share my love for Disney and help others plan their dream vacations, no matter which one you choose. I’m ready to walk alongside you every step of the way!
Sara Hughes, Independent Contractor
Sara’s first Disney memory is rope-dropping TestTrack as a kid where she ran hard. Since then, she’s continued going to the parks year after year; but her true love is a bit slower paced on a Disney Cruise. She's been on over 15 Disney Cruises to the Bahamas, Caribbean, Alaska, Europe, and more. This love of sailing started well before having kids, and she has since cruised while pregnant, with babies, and now with toddlers and kids. She and her husband love the all inclusive nature, the uninterrupted family time, and the spontaneity of choosing your own adventure while onboard. As a mom of four, including a child with Down syndrome, Sara understands the importance of family-friendly vacations that meet everyone's needs and how to navigate accessibility with Disney. Her family also has multiple food allergies, so she knows how to ensure your trip is both safe and magical. Her personal experience has given her a deep understanding of Disney’s offerings for every stage of life, and she’s ready to help you plan your Disney adventure- whether in the parks, a cruise or something else!
Alexis cohan, Independent Contractor
Hello! My name is Alexis Cohan. My first visit to Walt Disney World was when I was 2 years old and it was love at first sight! As former Florida residents and annual passholders, my family visited Disney World frequently and I have MANY fond memories from those trips. Over the last few years, I have been fortunate enough to visit Disney World with friends and even with some of my students! I am currently living in Augusta, GA and have been a high school band director for 5 years now. My favorite park is Magic Kingdom. I love how it transports me back to when I was a little girl, wandering down Main Street looking for Princess Ariel. EPCOT has my favorite ride on property, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. It also hosts my favorite festival, the Food and Wine Festival. Disney has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. I love the feeling of hopping into the “Disney bubble” every time I cross under the Walt Disney World entrance sign. I have been passionate about planning the “perfect” Disney trip for friends for a few years now. “Perfect” looks different for everyone, and I love figuring out what that means for every person that I help! Whether you are wanting to stay on property, off property, or sail on Disney’s Cruise Line, I would love to help you plan the perfect trip for everyone in your party! Switching to my Hufflepuff hat, I would also be honored to plan your Universal adventures! The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is truly a must-see for all Harry Potter lovers. While there don’t forget to grab a butterbeer and hop on the Hogwarts Express. I can’t wait to help you plan your perfect vacation!
