Owner and Travel Advisor, Rochester, New York
Hello!
I’m Amanda Mann
My love for travel started with Disney. As a child, I discovered a biography of Walt Disney that sparked my dream of experiencing the magic of Walt Disney World. Years later, that dream became reality, and I was hooked—so much so that I even worked at Walt Disney World during college, fully immersing myself in the magic.
But my passion for travel grew beyond Disney. I fell in love with the Caribbean’s turquoise waters and, most recently, became completely obsessed with Europe after my first trip abroad. Having explored over 15 countries, I’ve learned that travel isn’t just about the destinations—it’s about the experiences, the culture, and the memories we create with the people we love.
Now, as a mom, sharing the world with my kids is one of my greatest joys. Whether it’s sailing on a Disney Cruise, uncovering hidden gems in Europe, or simply exploring new places together, I believe travel is the most meaningful gift we can give our families. Life is an adventure, and we’re making every moment count!
I became a travel advisor in 2010 after realizing my steady 9-to-5 job lacked the passion I had as a Walt Disney World Cast Member. While moving back to Florida wasn’t an option, I found a new way to bring Disney magic to others—by helping families create their own unforgettable vacations.
Disney’s dedication to guest service inspired me beyond the parks. I fell in love with Disney Cruise Line, sailing through the Caribbean, Alaska, and beyond. As my travels expanded—including my first trip to Europe, which completely stole my heart—I realized my passion wasn’t just for Disney, but for helping families experience the world stress-free.
Now, with over a decade of experience and more than 15 countries explored, my goal is simple: to take the stress out of planning and help families create seamless, joy-filled travel memories. Whether it’s a magical Disney trip, a relaxing cruise, or a European adventure, I’m here to make every journey unforgettable!
Working with me
Throughout my journey as a travel advisor, I’ve had the absolute joy of helping families create unforgettable vacations—each one filled with connection, adventure, and lifelong memories. The relationships I’ve built along the way are truly the heart of what I do.
And now…I’m thrilled to share that I’m once again welcoming new clients! Whether you’re dreaming of a magical theme park getaway, a relaxing all-inclusive escape, or an epic family adventure, I’m here to make the planning process easy, personalized, and full of excitement.
While I continue to mentor and support my incredible team of travel advisors, I’m also diving back into what started it all—working one-on-one with amazing families like yours to design truly meaningful travel experiences.
Let’s start planning something unforgettable!
First family trip
We just returned from our first family Disney/Universal trip and we had the most magical time! We are so thankful for Amanda and all of her help. From the hotel suggestion, to helping us make dinner reservations, to suggestions about what day was best for each park, every detail helped make our trip absolutely wonderful. She has so much knowledge about Disney and she helped every step of the way. We appreciate all of her time to help create our unforgettable experience!
Impromptu Disney World vacation
When we learned there might be an opportunity for an impromptu holiday trip to Orlando in only a few weeks time, we knew Living With the Magic could pull off the last minute requests.
Amanda and her team came through for us again with another top-notch vacation. Every request was met with plenty of options to choose from.
Amanda has planned multiple Disney vacations for our family during the past 10 years and this most recent trip ranked right up there with the best of them.
Thanks Amanda for doing what you do!
Magic Maker!
Amanda is a magic maker! This is our second trip planned by Amanda, and she always strives to ensure we have nothing to worry about. She takes care of all the planning, reservations, fast passes, and events. She makes thoughtful suggestions and provides and extremely detailed itinerary. Moreover, she promptly and thoroughly answers my MANY questions throughout the process. I recommend her to everyone and will always book with her. Thank you again for another magical experience!
Took care of every detail
Amanda took care of every detail for us and I mean EVERY thing. There would have been no way that we could have planned this vacation. We had a fabulous time watching our family have sooo much FUN! Best vacation ever – thank you, Amanda!
Easiest experience ever
Working with Amanda was the greatest and easiest experience ever. When you are spending so much money on a Sandals vacation you need someone who knows the resort. Thank you again for a wonderful vacation!! I will totally come back for you to help me plan my next one!
Super easy!
Amanda makes the daunting details of Disney easy to navigate and the best part is that she’s always there to text back answers quickly. That way you can make last minute decisions if needed. It’s so appreciated! Our Disney trip was flawless because of her!
Makes it easy!
My family and I had to postpone our vacation last year due to unforseen circumstances to this year and Amanda has been a wonderful agent to work with. I highly recommend her. Have been booking with her for many years. She makes the process of vacationing easy. Thank you Amanda. Universal was great!!
Sandals Halcyon
Had a fabulous vacation at Sandals Halycon Beach. A beautiful intimate resort. Thanks to Amanda’s help with all the details! From picking the right room for us, to excursions, to answering all my questions (and there were many) Amanda was right there to help! Looking forward to booking with her again!
Can't imagine using anyone else!
This is the second time using Amanda’s help and can’t imagine going without using her advice and expertise. She is such a big help in organizing our trip!!
The only person I'd let plan my trip!
When we’re discussing our family trip to Disney World I knew Amanda was the only person I would trust to help us with our plans. She is so knowledgeable about Disney and really helped us put together a plan to make sure we were able to enjoy our time there. Without any reservation I would recommend Amanda for your next vacation.
Highly Recommended
Amanda was recommended to me by a family member and I am so glad she was. Amanda was available anytime I needed to ask a question or walk me through paperwork. We had a fantastic trip because we were prepared and everything was in order. I would recommend Amanda to any of my friends for their trips.
Fantastic!
We had such a fantastic trip!! Amanda made planning our trip SO EASY, and we LOVED the Riviera Resort she recommended! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!
Will Use Again and Again!!
I just returned from my 8th Girls Getaway Weekend and I didn’t think it would be possible, but it was probably the best yet! Amanda took care of every detail and request- whether big or small. She also got up early on HER vacation to make my October dining!! We are already in the process of planning my next trip, and I know she’ll take care of everything.
Stress-Free Planning
Amanda has been our go-to girl for all of our family vacations. Planning a special vacation can feel overwhelming. Amanda streamlines the process and offers support all along the way. We are so grateful for the attention she and her staff provides throughout the planning process!
ABC cruise
Amanda Mann was so helpful in booking our cruise especially since my hubby wanted to be on the same ship and in the same cabin! She is always responsive and straight forward answering my questions no matter how many times I ask the same thing! She is patient when I have last minute requests for new quotes to consider changing plans, and always understanding of my craziness.
Norwegian Cruise to Bermuda
Amanda was amazing and so easy to work with when planning our family trip to Bermuda. This was an amazing cruise from New York to Bermuda. What a gorgeous island! Amanda made booking and planning so easy and answered all of our questions, big and small. I wouldn’t book a trip without her help. We really appreciate the ease of working with her. Thank you, Amanda!
Magical trip on the Wish and World!
Amanda helped us plan a wonderful sea and land vacation. She was always just an email away, helping us make big and little decisions. While I’m a frequent traveler, it’s so nice to have someone who knows the business inside and out make the phone calls and give us the best experience ever! Won’t book a trip without her!
Celebrity cruise
This is our second cruise that Amanda Mann has planned for us. She is so easy to work with, patient and flexible with changes we had to make both times and always responsive to questions timely. She strives to find the best deal for what we were interested in and provided helpful guidance to ensure all aspects of the travel, insurance and transportation were covered.
Magic Maker!!

She was so excited for us!
I truly can not say enough about the great service we have received from Living With The Magic. Amanda took on planning a trip for us that included 20+ people with different wants, needs and ideas. She pulled off every bit of it with ease! My husband and I used her again for a surprise trip for us and our children and again, by no surprise, BOOM! Out of the park service, no doubt! She took care of all the details. It was one the easiest trips we’ve had. One of my favorite things about her was her excitement she shared for my family. She cared for us as if we were old pals! Amanda turned my hesitant hubby into a Disney fan (Something I didn’t see possible)! In return, we’re fans of this great business! I’m looking forward to trips in the future with my kiddos where our family dreams come true and all made possible by someone I now consider a friend!
