Hi! I’m Samantha DeAngelis, founder of Passport 2 Joy, and I help busy families take the stress out of vacation planning so they can focus on what matters most—making joyful, lifelong memories together.

I specialize in family travel, from first-time Disney trips to relaxing all-inclusive getaways, national park adventures, and multi-generational cruises. As a mom of two and a former teacher with over 10 years of classroom experience, I know how precious family time is—and how important it is to make every moment of a vacation count.

My love for travel runs deep. Growing up with a mom who worked as a travel agent, I was raised flipping through brochures, hearing stories about the world, and dreaming up itineraries. That passion stayed with me as I became the go-to person for friends and family looking to plan magical, memory-filled trips—especially Disney vacations. Eventually, I decided to turn my talent for planning into a business that helps other families experience the same kind of joy I grew up with.

• Former Educator: I bring the organization, communication skills, and attention to detail that helped me thrive in the classroom into every client itinerary I create.
• Custom Itineraries: Every trip is tailored to match your family’s needs, travel style, and budget—no one-size-fits-all packages here.
