Disney vacations
Walt Disney World, Disneyland and Disney Cruise Line. Resorts, dining, park days and special-event nights, paced for the ages in your group.
What we plan
Pick your direction
Each of us plans the kind of travel we do with our own kids, so you get advice from someone who has stood in that line, boarded that ship or packed for that flight.
Theme parks with Hope
Universal vacations
Universal Orlando Resort, including Epic Universe. Where to stay, which tickets make sense and what to ride first with little kids, teens or thrill-seekers.
Ships, passports and day trips with MC
Family cruises
Ships, cabins and itineraries matched to your crew, from first sailings to multi-family trips. Port Canaveral is practically our backyard.
International travel
All-inclusive resorts, guided tours and trips abroad, with flights, transfers and documents sorted before you go.
Florida day trips
Springs, beaches, rocket launches and small towns worth the drive. Local picks from people who live here.
Meet us
Two sisters. Seven kids. A lot of trips.
Barefoot Compass Travel is family-run. We plan the way we travel: with real kids, real budgets and room for a pool day.
