About James & Jax
Your personal guides to travel memories!

Hello! We are James and Jax Shugart from Fredericksburg, VA. We have 3 kids, and our family has been raised on traveling!


We have been annual pass holders to Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando Resort, Universal Studios Hollywood, SeaWorld and more. We have visited Aulani several times, a personal favorite of ours, and even went to Disneyland Paris this year. As a family, we have been on more than 40 cruises together, and James and Jax went on dozens before the days with kids. We have elite status on Disney Cruise Line, Carnival, Holland America, Princess, Norwegian…and even our kids are Diamond status with Royal Caribbean!


James works in television and travels the country several times a month, giving him unique insight to the in-and-outs of airports, airlines, lounges, ride-share, all brands of hotels, and dozens and dozens of tourist attractions.


Jax is recently graduated, and a certified personal trainer, and can give great tips on how to stay fit during vacation, or how to avoid the gym altogether (they both have their benefits)! She is also an expert with RunDisney having completed all levels of their races, and even earned the coast to coast medal as well.


We have been unofficially planning vacations for friends and family for years…now we have made it official, and we want to help you!


We specialize in all things Disney, Universal, and cruising. We would love to share our passion with you today. Additionally, having members of our family with special needs, and mobility issues, we can help you plan a trip that involves accessible accommodations!


Let us help you make memories!
