Hi, I’m Kaila!
Kaila Francis
Based in Carencro, Louisiana
Walt Disney World Specialist
Disney Cruise Line Enthusiast
I was born and raised in the small town of Oakdale, Louisiana. The University of Louisiana called me to Lafayette and I have been here ever since. My husband and I proudly call ULL our Alma Mater – Geaux Cajuns! I am the proud Mom to Vada and Sullivan and two French bulldogs, Percy and Farley.
My dad started my Disney addiction and his enthusiasm has trickled down to even his grandchildren, who beg to "see the castle!" I'm proud to say that I took my husband on his first trip to Walt Disney World and he is now more addicted than my Dad. We are collectors and traders of Disney Pins and are running out of room in our current pin bag. I am also a collector of Disney tattoos and am always looking for inspiration for my next addition.
Being a Disney planner has opened my eyes to what it means to bring joy into other people's lives. Be it in large groups with babies and grandparents or that intimate getaway that a couple needs just to reconnect, I genuinely believe Disney is for everyone. I have been as a child, as an adult, and as a parent with kids and there is certainly something for everyone. Anyone can find magic with Disney!

Walt Disney World because it is so broad and exciting! The food is amazing, the entertainment is world-renowned, and there is no moment that can substitute walking down Main Street USA.

My idea of the perfect Disney vacation
My entire family, reservations at The Boathouse at Disney Springs during the Food and Wine festival with park-hopper passes as my Dad declares he'll go alone when everyone thinks they want to go back to the room early.
Why I love being a Disney Vacation Planner
Being able to help others create what can be some of the best memories of their lives all while easing the anxieties and fears that planning a vacation can bring.
