Fairytale castle lit up at twilight beneath golden fireworks

Disney & family vacation specialists

Your dream vacation,planned by two moms who get it

Sarah and Courtney turn the overwhelming into the unforgettable — park strategy, dining reservations, stroller-friendly itineraries, and every little detail that makes a family trip actually feel like a vacation.

The two little reasons this whole company exists.

Meet the besties

Sarah & Courtney — best friends, busy moms, certified Disney nerds

It started the way most good things do: two friends, a shared group chat, and an embarrassing number of spreadsheets. Between school pickups and bedtime routines, we planned trip after trip for our own families — learning the parks, the resorts, the ships, and every shortcut in between.

Then friends started asking. Then friends of friends. Turns out what took us years to figure out can save your family months of stress — so we made it official.

Castle & Compass exists because we watched our daughters' faces light up under those fireworks, and we decided every family deserves that moment without drowning in tabs.

What we do

You bring the excitement. We handle the 200 tiny decisions.

Park & resort strategy

Which park on which day, where to stay for your crew, and how to skip the lines you can actually skip.

Dining & reservations

We're awake at 6am on booking day so you aren't. Character breakfasts, hard-to-get tables, the works.

Deals & price drops

We rebook you automatically when promotions drop. Our families have saved thousands without lifting a finger.

Custom day-by-day plans

Built around real nap times, teenagers who sleep in, and grandparents who need a mid-day break.

Text us from the park

Ride down? Rain rolling in? We're on the other end of your phone for the entire trip.

Don't take our word for it

I had 14 tabs open and a headache. Courtney sent three options the next morning and I booked by lunch. Our girls still talk about the castle breakfast.

Sarah texted me at 8am from her kitchen to tell me our resort dropped $700. She rebooked it before I'd finished my coffee.

They planned around my toddler's naps and my mother-in-law's knee. Nobody melted down. That's a miracle, not a vacation.
