Meet Your Travel Advisors
Joy Hail
I've always been curious about the world. I love learning about new cultures, exploring places I've never been, and trying new skills along the way. Some of my happiest moments have been watching my family experience something they've never seen before.
That's why I became a travel advisor. I'm a meticulous planner by nature: I research every option and plan every last detail, so nothing is left to chance. To me, a trip is more than an itinerary. It's an opportunity to make memories, and I've seen firsthand how much those memories mean to my husband, our children, and our extended family.
Whether you're dreaming of Disney magic, a family cruise, or a destination you've always wanted to explore, I'd love to bring that same care to your vacation, so you can relax and simply enjoy your time together.

Jim Hail
Some of my favorite childhood memories are of family trips to Disneyland and Walt Disney World, and of days spent having fun in tropical places. Later, as a Navy officer, I discovered how much I loved exploring other countries and walking through history at the sites I'd only read about. As a dad, I've worked hard to give my own family that same kind of magic.
Now I help families and couples create their own unforgettable experiences, handling the details, so you can simply enjoy the trip. I have a special place in my heart for military families. I know the opportunities available to you, from military discounts to resorts reserved for service members, and I'll work to help you get the most out of every one.

Services
We listen to you to identify your best vacation. Your time is valuable, and planning a trip can take days of your precious time. Once you tell us what is right for you, we can book your lodging, ground transportation, cruise, excursions, dining reservations, tickets, tours, and in some cases air travel. Unless you live in New York, we will offer you travel insurance to provide peace of mind. When you book with Blue Water Magic Vacations, we don't disappear when you put down your deposit--we will be there for you all the way through until the trip is over!
Disney
Disney magic is our primary specialty. Our Walt Disney World® Resort and Disney Cruise Line tabs give you up-to-date information on everything Disney offers on land and at sea, including current specials. When you travel through us, we will look for all of the specials available to you for the time you plan to go. If there are certain dining experiences you want, we can track availability and help you make those must-have reservations. At sea, we can help you book adjacent cabins that fit your family, arrange ground transportation and lodging, and get excursions through Disney or outside vendors. For our military travelers, we can help guide you through the process of getting discounted tickets, adding them to your MyDisney account, and activating them.
Cruise
Every cruise line has its own personality, and no two ships are quite alike. We are committed to matching you with your ideal cruise experience: the right cruise line, the right ship, and the right itinerary for your family, your budget, and the way you like to travel. Whether you want water slides and roller coasters at sea, fine dining and quiet retreats, tropical beaches, or Alaskan glaciers, we work with all of the major cruise lines, including Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, and Virgin Voyages, to find the cruise that fits. We can help you choose the right cabin, book rooms close together for larger groups, and arrange excursions, ground transportation, and hotels before or after your sailing.
More Magic
The world is waiting beyond Disney and the cruise port, too. We can book other unforgettable experiences, whether that means exploring a European destination, discovering Latin America or Hawaii, or escaping to an overwater bungalow in the South Pacific. No matter the destination, we tailor your vacation to fit your dreams.

Disney Cruise Line
Cruises
The right cruise line. The right ship. The right itinerary.
Every cruise line has its own personality, and no two ships are quite alike. Some are packed with thrills like water slides, surf simulators and roller coasters at sea; others are built around fine dining, spas and quiet adults-only retreats. We get to know how you like to travel, then match you to the cruise that fits, from a long weekend in the Bahamas to tropical beaches in the Caribbean or the glaciers of Alaska.
The Right Cruise Line
Family-friendly fun, upscale and relaxed, or adults-only and lively. We help you find the line whose style matches yours.
The Right Ship
Water parks, Broadway-style shows, specialty restaurants or quiet decks: we compare ships and cabins, including rooms close together for larger groups.
The Right Itinerary
Sunny beaches, Alaskan wilderness or historic European ports. We find the route, dates and length of trip that fit your plans.
We work with all of the major cruise lines, including:

FAQ
Do you charge a fee for your services?
No! We get paid by the suppliers (cruise lines, hotels, etc.) and the price to you is the same as if you booked it yourself directly.
When should I start planning my trip?
The earlier the better. Cruise ships and hotels have limited space and prices tend to go up the closer it gets to the travel dates.
How do I share my interests with you to create my vacation?
Please fill out our initial contact form. We are real humans who will get back to you by the next day. We communicate on your terms:by email, text, and phone (or even video if you want!).
Can you guarantee a smooth trip? What can you do for me?
No one can truly guarantee that there will be no hiccups, which is why we recommend travel insurance for each trip. Here’s a bit about how we work and what you can expect from us throughout this process. We want to make sure we're aligned so your planning experience is as smooth and transparent as possible.
