Kim Minardi

Hi! My name is Kim Minardi, and I am an Agent Resource Manager and Travel Advisor at Wonderland and Beyond Travel.

Hello, friends! I’m a proud 12-year Army veteran and a military spouse. Originally from Northeast Philadelphia and South Jersey, we've now chosen Northeast Ohio as our "forever" home! I’m the mother of four energetic, beautiful, intelligent, and strong-willed daughters. I chose to conclude my military career when my first daughter was born. With both my husband and I in service, we decided it would be best for me to stay at home and manage things while ensuring our family stays together.

Holidays and family moments hold great significance for me, shaped by my personal family dynamics. One of the most rewarding aspects of being an agent is the opportunity to help others experience the magic of Disney and other destinations where they can bond with their loved ones and create lasting memories.

II have traveled extensively around the globe and have even lived in a few international locations. It’s quite challenging to select just one favorite destination, as each place holds its own unique charm. So, I’ll share my top three!

First on my list is Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. For me, Disney is more than just a location; it embodies a feeling, and everything about it is truly magical. It’s a realm where dreams come to life, where little girls transform into princesses and little boys become pirates and superheroes.

Next, I absolutely adore Paris, France. This city is arguably the most beautiful in the world. From its rich culture, delectable cuisine, and friendly people to its stunning buildings and architecture, the list goes on and on. Its elegance and beauty left me utterly breathless.

Surprisingly, my third favorite destination is New York City. I am captivated by the Broadway shows, towering skyscrapers, diverse food options, vibrant cultures, dazzling lights, shopping opportunities, and, of course, the energetic hustle and bustle of the city.

Creating unforgettable family vacations is something I truly cherish. I approach your travel plans with the same care and attention as if I were organizing my own trip. With my experience, I can offer valuable suggestions on activities to enjoy, as well as share my thoughts on what to skip. I will equip you with insider tips and insights, drawing on my education and personal experiences to help you make informed vacation choices, ensuring you get the most out of your well-deserved investment.

Guest Testimonials

Absolutely LOVE this company and especially out personal Travel agent Kim! We have booked multiple trips through them over the last 3 years and every time I am blown away with the quality and affordability of the trips we book plus Kim makes it so easy and does all the hard work for me. Some of our favorite trips have been a 7-day Christmas vacation at Walt Disney world with all 5 kids and out super plush 2-week Bahamas 🇧🇸 trip that we stayed in a 5-star hotel, had a butler and swam with pigs 🐽 and sharks 🦈. Currently planning a around the world trip with our 5 kids and we are so excited to embark on this amazing adventure together as a family. I have always been a person that gets deals through cheap flights and such but using Kim at Wonderland had made the process even cheaper and waaaayyyy easier for me. I tell all my friends to book with her because she is that good! If you are on the fence about using this travel agency and worried that you will have “hidden costs” let me, put your mind at ease- no hidden fees and they will get it for you cheaper than even you could do it through hours of research on all the cheap sites. Do it! Plan your trip with them and start your dream vacation. - The Traveling Halcombs

We recommend, Kim Minardi, to anyone who asks us about visiting anything Disney. She has been very helpful in our last four trips, with coordinating our travel to and from the Orlando airport and setting up our family dinning arrangements. She has a very personable, professional attitude and genuinely cares that you and your family have the best vacation possible. If you have any questions, she is just a phone call away, and will work hard to get you an answer if she does not have one readily available. - Robert Attison

I had Kim Minardi book our 1st trip to Disney as a family of 4. Using a travel agent helped so much. We were kind of lost on what to buy, where to stay, how to buy tickets/dining plans/make a Disney account, and Kim helped out so much. We went during covid, so things were changing, but Kim gave us a heads up the entire time. We knew about making park reservations and she gave us great ideas on where to eat (especially with an infant and toddler). She was prompt, professional, gave great reminders and recommendations and she definitely knows her Disney stuff! If you're looking for someone to help you plan your Disney vacation, please ask for Kim. She is the best and really loves her job! - Marissa Reardon

Vacation Favorites

  • Favorite Snack: The bagged Caramel popcorn; it’s so yummy and I can finish an entire bag minutes!

  • Favorite Quick Service: Pinocchio Village Hause, I love there Caprese Flat Bread Pizzas and looking down at It’s a Small World.

  • Favorite Ride: I love Peter Pan! It is my favorite due to the story that lies behind it about a boy who lived in a place where children never grow up and they stay young by using their imagination. This is exactly why Walt Disney created these Magical places. He wanted people to come to a place where they can bring out their inner child and let their imagination run wild!

  • Favorite Character Meal: 1900 Park Fare; the food is absolutely the best on Disney Property in my opinion and I love the Cinderella Characters.

  • Favorite Resort Hotel: My favorite resort is the Polynesian. I absolutely love every single thing about this resort and you cannot beat the location! As soon as you step out of the lobby you are looking directly at Cinderella’s Castle. There is nothing like swimming in the pool at night and watching the Fireworks with the music being played throughout the resort.

  • Favorite Memory: I truly experienced Disney magic after taking my daughter to Walt Disney world when she was about 18 months old. The way her face lit up watching the Wishes nighttime spectacular show and fireworks were truly priceless. It was my most magical memory that I will treasure forever.
