AGENCY HISTORY
In 2022, Journey to Discover Travel was founded by Kim York with a clear vision: to revolutionize the travel industry by prioritizing the value of the guest and advisor planning experience over the bottom line. Drawing from her background as a former Walt Disney World Cast Member, where she met her husband of 20 years, Kim aimed to emulate the excellence in business discernment and superior guest service exhibited by the Walt Disney Company.
​
Kim's passion for providing unparalleled travel experiences led her to prioritize partnerships with the best travel suppliers, ensuring that her clients received nothing but the highest quality service. Recognizing the importance of empowering her team of travel advisors, Kim sought to create an environment where they could thrive while setting healthy boundaries in their business practices. This included the flexibility to set office hours, charge professional fees, specialize in certain destinations or suppliers, and establish minimum spend requirements to achieve individual business goals.
​
At Journey to Discover Travel, Disney Destinations hold a special place as some of our most trusted recommendations to clients, reflecting our commitment to delivering exceptional experiences that rival the magic of Disney itself. With a focus on excellence, integrity, and personalized service, Journey to Discover Travel continues to set high standards in the travel industry, guided by Kim's unwavering dedication to creating unforgettable memories for every client.
