Home » About Cara Goldsbury

Cara Goldsbury is the author of The Luxury Guide to Disney Vacations and founder of Glass Slipper Concierge, a travel agency specializing in luxury Disney vacations. With more than 40 years in the travel industry and decades of firsthand Disney experience, she created this guide to bring the luxury side of Disney into focus—from exceptional resorts and remarkable suites to Club Level accommodations, private VIP Tours, and Disney Cruise Line Concierge experiences.

Her expertise has been built through decades of travel throughout Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort, Disney Cruise Line, Adventures by Disney, and Aulani. She has stayed in or personally toured and inspected nearly all of the rooms, Club Level lounges, suites, and villas featured in this guide and has experienced Disney VIP Tours countless times. That firsthand knowledge allows her to look beyond what appears in a resort description and explain what truly distinguishes one experience from another. Together with more than 40 years in the travel industry, it has established her as a recognized authority on luxury Disney travel.

That perspective has also attracted national media attention. Cara’s work has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, the New York Post, Travel Weekly, Recommend, TravelAge West, and Forbes Traveler. She has also appeared on the Travel Channel as a Disney travel expert.

True luxury at Disney is about far more than reserving a beautiful suite. It is the way exceptional accommodations, personalized service, privileged access, and memorable experiences come together to create a vacation that feels seamless, personal, and extraordinary. Her firsthand knowledge reveals which experiences are truly worthwhile and which can transform the way a family experiences Disney.

She founded Glass Slipper Concierge to bring this level of expertise to families seeking a luxury Disney vacation. Today, she sets the agency’s standards and oversees the ongoing development, education, and mentoring of its travel advisors. The result is a deeply knowledgeable team that knows how to turn the extraordinary possibilities of Disney into a vacation that feels entirely personal.

Cara divides her time between San Antonio, Texas, and Santa Fe, New Mexico, and travels extensively to Disney destinations and luxury resorts around the world.
