In 2014, Gabriella teamed up with Academy Travel to begin selling Disney Destinations. Having traveled to the parks several times with her mom and young daughter, she realized that planning Disney vacations had become second nature. Sharing her expertise with her friends and family became her passion. After 8 years with Academy Travel, Gabriella decided to open Once Upon a Memory Destinations in July of 2022. She is a Disney park expert, resort specialist and tech savvy travel planner who has logged countless hours in Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Aulani and sailing Disney Cruise Line in order to bring you first hand knowledge and expertise during the travel planning process!!
