Meet Danielle — The Start of Points To Magic

Hi, I’m Danielle — a CPA, mom of two, dog lover, and Disney-obsessed travel hacker. I created Points to Magic after using credit card points, cashback, and smart planning to build nearly free Disney trips for my own family — again and again.

But my family isn’t “typical,” and yours might not be either. We travel with sensory challenges, Neurodivergence, anxiety…. and 2 dogs. That’s why I created Points To Magic to reflects real-life travel:

Pet-friendly hotel reviews
Multi-room suites
Strategies that work for families who need flexibility

Whether you’re just starting out or ready to level up your points game, I’m here to help you save big and plan your trip with confidence — dog hair, spreadsheets, and all.
