Katie Heard

Hi, I’m Katie Heard, a travel agent with Castles & Cruises Travel Company, based in Lafayette, Louisiana. I help families, couples, and groups plan vacations that fit their interests, priorities, and the way they love to travel. I plan travel for clients in South Louisiana and across the United States.

As a wife and mom of four, I understand how much goes into getting everyone away, and how special that time together can be. Whether you’re planning your child’s first Disney trip, celebrating an anniversary, exploring Europe, or gathering several generations for a vacation, I want you to feel excited about the experience and confident in the details.

My specialties include Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, Aulani, and Adventures by Disney, along with Universal Orlando, ocean cruises, Caribbean resorts, ski vacations, and European travel. I’m a graduate of the College of Disney Knowledge and was recognized as a Top Seller with Castles & Cruises Travel in 2025.

For me, great travel planning begins with getting to know you. What does your family enjoy? Where would you like to splurge? Do you love a full itinerary, or is a slower pace more your style? Those answers help me recommend the right destination, accommodations, and experiences for your trip.

My support continues well beyond making a reservation. From keeping track of important deadlines and coordinating transportation to helping with dining plans, cruise preparations, and personalized itineraries, I bring organization and thoughtful attention to the planning process.

The relationships I build with my clients are one of my favorite parts of this work. Many come to me through referrals, and I love helping them plan their next adventure as their families grow and their travel interests evolve.

My goal is simple: to make planning feel manageable, help you feel well prepared, and create a vacation that feels right for you. I’d love to help you plan where you’ll go next.
