Meet MacKenzie Sparks of Tailored Magic Travel

Today we’d like to introduce you to MacKenzie Sparks.

Hi MacKenzie , we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I actually fell in love with Disney in kind of an unexpected way. My first trip to Walt Disney World was in 2020, and while I absolutely loved it, I left realizing how many things we missed simply because I didn’t know how to plan or prepare properly. I remember thinking, “Wow, this could’ve been even more magical if we’d known what to expect.”

So, when I got home, I immediately started planning our next trip — diving deep into every detail — and during that process, I discovered how much I truly loved the planning side of it. That’s what led me to become a travel agent specializing in Disney vacations. My goal has always been to make sure other families don’t have that same overwhelmed feeling I did, and instead get to fully enjoy their vacation from start to finish.

Now that I have kids of my own, it’s become even more special. I love helping families tailor their Disney experience specifically to them — making sure it fits their pace, their kids’ ages, and what’s actually going to make their trip magical. It’s such a rewarding feeling to know that I get to be a small part of helping them create those core memories together — and I love that my services come at no extra cost to them, since it’s already included in their vacation package.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It definitely hasn’t always been a smooth road — there was a big learning curve in the beginning. Like any new business, there were challenges in finding my rhythm, understanding all the ins and outs of planning Disney travel, and even figuring out which agency was the best fit for me and how I wanted to serve my clients.

But every bit of that process taught me something valuable. I eventually found an amazing agency that really aligns with how I want to work — one that provides incredible tools and resources for clients to feel confident and prepared before their trips. Since making that change, things have really taken off. I’ve been able to connect with the most wonderful families, help them plan magical vacations, and continue to grow both personally and professionally.

It’s been so rewarding to see how far things have come, and I’m really excited to see what 2026 brings and all the new families I’ll get to work with!

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
At Tailored Magic Travel, I specialize in helping busy moms and families plan Disney vacations that truly fit them — not just what everyone else on the internet says they “have” to do. I work with families, especially those traveling with toddlers or planning multi-generational trips, to create a personalized Disney experience that’s stress-free, well-prepared, and full of magic.

What sets me apart is my personal approach. I don’t believe in cookie-cutter itineraries — I take time to learn about each family’s interests, priorities, and what will make their trip truly memorable. From helping navigate Lightning Lane strategies to sharing resort recommendations and park plans that fit nap schedules, grandparents, and everything in between — I help families go from overwhelmed to confident and excited.

I’m most proud of how my brand focuses on real families and real-life Disney experiences — the kind where meltdowns happen, plans change, and memories are still magical. I love being able to take what I’ve learned (including from my own first trip that didn’t go quite as planned!) and turn it into something that helps others make the most of their vacation.

And the best part? My planning services are already included when you book a Disney package — so families get all the added value, insider knowledge, and personalized guidance without any extra cost.

At the end of the day, my goal is simple: to help families make magical memories together, tailored specifically to them, without the stress of figuring it all out alone.

Where we are in life is often partly because of others. Who/what else deserves credit for how your story turned out?
I’ve been incredibly blessed with the support and guidance of the co-owners and fellow agents at Simple Magic Travel Company. The leadership team truly goes above and beyond — from the training they provide to the way they invest in each agent’s personal and professional growth, it’s been such an amazing environment to be part of.

The sense of community within our team is something really special. Everyone genuinely wants to see each other succeed and is always ready to share tips, resources, and encouragement. We all work together with the same goal in mind — to make sure every family we serve has the most magical, well-prepared vacation possible. Being part of a team that values collaboration and client care the way Simple Magic does has made all the difference in my journey.
