Danielle - founder of Points to Magic! I’m a CPA, a mom to two kids and two dogs, and a proud animal lover. My background as a CPA has taught me to be meticulously budget-conscious, and I bring that same level of detail and strategy to planning affordable Disney World vacations. When I’m not busy with work or keeping up with my kids, I’m usually training for a Spartan race or spending time with my furry family members. A few years ago my kids and I all started doing Spartan races.

Back in 2018, I began exploring credit card points and travel hacks to create magical family experiences without breaking the bank. I use my financial expertise to maximize every dollar, finding creative ways to make dream trips—especially Disney World vacations—more accessible.

Now, I’m passionate about helping others plan their own unforgettable, budget-friendly Disney World adventures and realize that even the biggest dreams can be affordable with the right strategies.

I love animals and have 2 rescue dogs. Nestle is a very senior Pit mixed with a Boston Terrier. We adopted her from a shelter in the Spring of 2012. While we don’t know much about Nestle’s background before the shelter, we do know that she was found by a shelter volunteer after being dumped at the shelter. She has been such a gift to our family. Nestle is a soulful dog, with a high emotional intelligence and has made a wonderful 2nd mom to my kids.

We adopted Nova, a 7 year old Golden Retriever, from our next door neighbor. Nova’s owner had passed away from cancer, and we had promised him prior to his passing that we would take Nova in. She has been a wonderful addition to our pack.
