Samantha's Magical Moments
"Samantha booked my hotel, found my flights, arranged travel to and from hotel, booked dining reservations, recommended which restaraunts to eat, arranged strollers, provided itinerary and maps for parks, gave several good tips for the trip. Essentially, she did EVERYTHING needed to plan a perfect vacation! "

"We had a great time and loved everything she recommended to us. Many people could not get reservations for things they wanted to do but Samantha had us booked months ago so we had no worries. I hope to get to go again someday and will definitely contact her again."

"[Samantha], Our family would like to express our appreciation for all your help organizing an extremely enjoyable vacation. It was absolutely wonderful. Our room was in an excellent location on the first floor just off the pool.The hotel was great. The service was wonderful and it truly was a "Magical" experience."

"Thank you [Samantha] so much for helping us plan our trip to Disney World. We had a wonderful time. Everything you suggested was perfect. We enjoyed the resort, the fast passes you chose and the dinners too. I think our favorite day was when we had breakfast at Cinderella's castle and dinner at Be Our Guest. Be Our Guest was awesome!"

"My sons and I had the BEST VACATION EVER in beautiful Puerto Rico over spring break. Samantha Barnes' suggestion of this beautiful island was perfect -- no passport required, lovely white sand beaches, friendly locals, adventures for thrill-seekers, historical sites, and great food. She booked everything for us and even handled little glitches from afar so that we could just relax and enjoy ours...elves. The jungle zip-lining was amazing, the Bio Bay nighttime kayaking in the phosphorescent lagoon was the coolest thing we've ever done!! On top of all that, we got vouchers that cleared $150 off our hotel extras at checkout. You can't beat Samantha's dedication to YOUR vacation and her solid service!! She's my go-to travel agent!! "
Carla H
"Wow! Thank you for planning our vacation to Disney World! We never knew the importance of making dining reservations but Samantha took care of it all! We saw folks that thought they could walk up and eat in the nicest restaurants turned away. Thank you for your attention to detail!!!"
John R
"Samantha, Thank you so much for all of your help with our trip to Disneyland. I was worried about planning a trip for 18 people and you made it painless! We had a wonderful trip and it was a breeze thanks to you. You made the planning easy and worry free. Your recommendations were fantastic. The VIP tour was great and the concierge service was perfect for our group. When we plan our next trip I will be certain to call upon you again. Thank you very much! "
Sarah M
"I found out about Golden Ears only 1 week before my travel time. Samatha was still able to get me great reservations for dinners during the 4th of July travel period."
Michelle J
"I simply gave Samantha the dates and she did the rest. She booked great dining experiences for use and made my girls' birthday trip extra-special!"
Carrie W
"This was our first trip to Disney as a family, and it was absolutely wonderful. I have no idea how we would have ever planned anything so wonderful without Samantha's patient guidance. She made the planning that could easily seem overwhelming actually fun and enjoyable. Our trip was certainly a magical experience that was custom made with each member of our family in mind. Thank you so much for helping us create such special memories!!"
Michael B
"We have used Samantha multiple times and she never disappoints! She has helped us with large family reunions and individual vacations. Everything seems to run smoother and is organized far better than when we used to book the trip on our own. She always takes time to answer all of our questions and there is no doubt we will use her again!"

"[Samantha] was fast and efficient in providing a quote that matched everything that I wanted, and offered packages that I wasn't aware of. She was wonderful to work with. I even recommend my family to her."
Keri C
"Just got back from our unbelievable Disney trip planned by Samantha. It was the first trip for our three year old daughter and we loved every minute of it. Samantha took care of everything, the dining reservations, the room details, and even helped us find super cheap airfare. We will definitely use Golden Ears from now on for our traveling needs. Thank you Samantha for putting up with all my questions and providing us with the best vacation ever!"
Mitch S

"I have worked with Samantha Barnes on 2 Disney Cruises now and she is super helpful. She navigates the details with ease and keeps us on track for the things we need to do. She has a wealth of information and helps our family choose what's best for us. She's responsive and always friendly. I would highly and do recommend her to all my friends."
Tina B
"Samantha is the BEST! We had the best trip because of her and her expertise. We booked only three weeks out and she was able to get us all the reservations we wanted including Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in Cinderella's Castle and the princess lunch at Epcot. I have some of the best memories with my daughter all because of Samantha. Anyone planning a Disney vacation would be crazy not to use her. I'm already looking forward to our next trip! Thanks, Samantha!!!!"
Carroll B
"Samantha went above and beyond to ensure that she could plan the best trip possible. We did not encounter any problems with our reservations; and, she went out of her way to present our family with an organized method of preparing for our trip. I would definitely recommend Samantha to anyone. "
Megan M
"Samantha is a fantastic trip planner! We have traveled to Disneyland and Disney World using her services several times and wouldn't travel without her planning now! She did a fabulous job planning our most recent trip to Disneyland with restaurant reservations and which park to visit each day. This was our first time to use her car service instead of renting a car, and that was perfect, too. Our driver was waiting for us at the airport when we arrived, and waiting for us at the hotel lobby to take us to the airport for our flight home. It was so easy! We had a great time and are thankful to Samantha for planning another wonderful trip!"
Janna
"This was our third trip to Disney World and my wife has always done all of the planning before. It was amazing to sit back and let someone else do all of the planning for us. We just told Samantha what kind of meals we wanted, what kind of resort we wanted to stay at, and what days we wanted to go. She gave us several resort/expense options to choose from and booked everything. Our best experience at Disney yet!"
Robert V
"[Samantha] was very organized and helpful! She handled everything and it was a wonderful trip!"
Holly
"Samantha did a wonderful job booking our trip, answering all our questions and giving us tips and needed information before cruising. She knows her Disney stuff and I would highly recommend her!"
Nanny
"Samantha was absolutely the most amazing and helpful travel agent we have EVER worked with! I don't think there is any person in the world who knows more about Disney World than she does! We ran into some bumps because of weather delaying our travel and she was on the phone with us at 7 o'clock in the morning trying to fix as much as she possible could for us! I could not have higher praise for her!"
Miss Kansas
"She was very nice. Helped me out gave me a lot of options. She is wonderful to work with. "
Colette S
"I will never try planning a Disney vacation without Golden Ears Travel. Samantha alerted me to details I would never have planned for. Thanks to Samantha, our vacation was one we will treasure forever!"
Pamela G
"Samantha helped us organize a High School Band trip to Disney World. We traveled with 104 students and 29 adults. We had several last minute adjustments that she handled with ease. She provided us with more than enough information to make our trip enjoyable and trouble-free. We look forward to having her help us plan our next trip."
Lori S
"Samantha is FABULOUS! If you are one of those people who HAS to be in control of EVERY detail (like me), let me introduce you to Samantha ... just let her handle it, sit back, and ENJOY THE MAGIC!"
Blanca R
"Samantha at Golden Ears travel has been so helpful and full of information!! Our trip isn't for another 5 months, but she's been a huge help with all of her advice. PLUS two days after we booked our trip, she's already on top of a newly announced discount and updated our reservations before we even knew about it! (I really like that I'm working with someone from Flower Mound too...just keepin' it in the FM "family".) "
