Meet Stephen!

Hello! My name is Stephen Juliano, and I am the president and founder of Extra Magic Trips, a graduate of the Disney College of Knowledge, and an avid Disney fan. I can’t wait to help you and your family plan your next (or your first) Disney vacation!

My personal favorite travel location is the Walt Disney World® Resort in Florida. There is something truly special about entering Magic Kingdom® Park, catching the aroma of fresh waffle cones on Main Street, U.S.A., and seeing Cinderella Castle in all of its glory. Over the years, I’ve guided guests through countless extra-special experiences beyond the main theme park gates, from Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party to Disney After Hours events, Disney VIP Tours, Universal VIP Tours, and even private fireworks cruises on Bay Lake and the Seven Seas Lagoon!

When I’m not helping families design their dream trips, I love staying active and taking on new physical challenges. Lately, that passion has led me into competing in HYROX fitness races. Traveling for events has been a fun way to explore new places, having competed in both Washington, D.C. and New York City. Next on my race list is competing in the Anaheim HYROX event this December, which, naturally, gives me the perfect excuse to spend some time just down the street at Disneyland® Resort! I will (obviously) be doing that before and after the race.

Whether you’re heading to Walt Disney World, exploring the magic of Disneyland in California, or taking a trip across the country, I believe the vacation magic should start long before you arrive. Planning a trip shouldn’t feel like a full-time job. By providing expert, stress-free guidance, I help you navigate resort options, dining reservations, and insider tips for services like Lightning Lane so you can focus purely on making memories.

A question I often get from guests is whether they have to give up control of their trip when booking through a travel agent like me. The answer is unequivocally no! You remain completely in control of your vacation. I’m simply here as your trusted advisor. If you prefer to make your own dining reservations, you absolutely can, or you can sleep in and let me take care of them for you. If you know exactly which resort hotel you want and just need help pulling the rest of the pieces together, let’s do it!

Before and during your trip, I’m just a phone call or text message away with insider tips, quick-service dining recommendations, and real-time answers to whatever comes up.

While Disney holds a huge piece of my heart, I also bring firsthand expertise across many other top destinations. I hold the distinction of Universal Orlando Specialist, have had a blast exploring Super Mario Land at Universal Studios Hollywood, and love helping guests find the right fit for their travel style.

I’m excited to share my passion for travel and expertise with you. Request a quote from me today, and start packing tomorrow. I’ll handle everything else!

Stephen makes everything so easy when planning a Disney Trip! His dining recommendations were spot on and he kept me up to date on all new developments and discounts that applied to me. I'll recommend Stephen and Extra Magic Trips for every trip (Disney and otherwise) to everyone I know!

Stephen was amazing in every aspect and we look forward to planning another trip! Our stateroom location was perfect, and even gave us an awesome view of the private beach when we docked on the island.

Stephen was great to work with. He was extremely patient, thorough, and took the time to explain everything in detail. He provided us with well thought out plans for each day, booked us all the dining reservations we wanted, and was available at all times to answer questions.

Stephen provided all information and booked what we needed for pre and post stay and an Adventures by Disney trip to Egypt . He also sent over a list of approved guides that Disney recommends to use prior to the guided trip. Everything was amazing!

Stephen was fabulous to work with! Gave amazing recommendation and tips to make our stay at Disney so magical! Between advise on what hotel to stay at so we were able to use the skyliner for an easy access with our stroller and hop over to Epcot & Hollywood Studios. Loved all of our dining reservations he made as well. We were celebrating our daughter’s 1st birthday and loved how when we walked into the room on the TV it was wishing our daughter Happy Birthday!

Stephen explained everything - sometimes more than once, upon my request - to make sure we understood all the moving parts of a Disney vacation. When a small issued arose, he was on it and it was corrected within minutes!
