Stephen Juliano

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!
