Hey, I’m Marsha

Hi! I’m Marsha Hutchens, and I’m a travel advisor with Coasters & Castles Travel. I live in Corpus Christi, Texas, with my husband and our two children, and travel has always been an important part of my life.

My love for travel started with long family road trips growing up and has continued throughout my life. Travel has been part of some of my most special memories, including an Alaskan cruise proposal at sea and a Walt Disney World honeymoon. Now, as a mom, my husband and I continue to make travel a priority for our family. Whether it’s a quick getaway for two, a family vacation, or a multigenerational trip with the whole family in matching shirts, I truly believe there is something special about making memories together and experiencing the world with the people you love.

Disney holds a very special place in my heart. Since my honeymoon in 2008, I have visited Walt Disney World nearly 12 times, and it is a destination I never get tired of experiencing. There is always something new to see, do, and discover! Over the years, I’ve stayed at several Disney Resort hotels, enjoyed countless restaurants, experienced many of Disney’s recreational activities, and learned firsthand just how much planning can go into creating a magical vacation.

I’ve also visited Disneyland and SeaWorld and have cruised to destinations including the Bahamas, Alaska, and the Eastern Caribbean. I love experiencing different styles of travel and enjoy helping my clients discover the destination that best fits their own family, interests, and vacation style.

My approach to travel planning is simple: your vacation should feel like your vacation—not someone else’s idea of the perfect trip. I take the time to get to know you, your family, your travel style, and what matters most to you. Whether you want a vacation packed with adventure, a relaxing escape, a magical Disney experience, or the perfect combination of everything, I am here to help bring your vision to life.

I know firsthand that planning a vacation can become overwhelming. Choosing the right resort, finding the best itinerary, making dining reservations, arranging transportation, selecting excursions, and keeping track of all the details can quickly become a lot to manage. That’s where I come in!

I work with a variety of budgets and travel styles and can assist with everything from choosing the perfect resort or cruise to dining reservations, itinerary planning, airport transfers, excursions, special experiences, and more. I also keep an eye on eligible discounts and promotions that may become available for your reservation.

I especially love helping families plan Disney vacations, cruises, and theme park adventures. My specialties include Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, Disney’s Aulani Resort, Adventures by Disney, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, Universal Parks & Resorts, and SeaWorld vacations.

When you work with me, you can expect personalized planning, honest recommendations, attention to detail, and someone who is genuinely excited about your vacation. I’ll be here to answer questions, offer guidance, and help make the planning process as easy and stress-free as possible—from the moment you start dreaming about your trip until you return home.

For me, travel is about so much more than the destination. It’s about the excitement leading up to the trip, the moments you experience while you’re there, and the memories you bring home with you.

I would love the opportunity to help you plan your next adventure. Whether you’re dreaming of castles, cruise ships, thrilling attractions, beautiful beaches, or a destination you’ve never experienced before, let’s work together to create a vacation filled with memories that will last a lifetime.

Let’s start planning your next adventure!

What My Travelers Say

My Disney World vacation was incredible, thanks to Marsha! She took care of every detail from the best hotel options to dining reservations, making the whole experience stress-free and magical. I highly recommend Marsha for any travel planning needs!

We had the absolute best experience booking our Disney cruise with Marsha! From start to finish, she made the entire process so smooth and stress-free. She helped us with every detail booking the cruise, preparing us with what to pack, and even guiding us through excursion options. Her knowledge and attention to detail made a world of difference. Marsha also surprised us with a thoughtful welcome gift, which ended up being super helpful during our trip. Because of her, everything felt organized and stress-free, allowing us to fully enjoy the magic of our vacation. I’m so thankful we chose to book with her our trip was truly magical thanks to her help! Highly recommend working with Marsha for any travel planning you won’t regret it!

My Royal Caribbean cruise was an amazing experience from start to finish. The ship was clean, modern, and full of things to do, so there was never a dull moment. The staff was friendly and made everything feel easy and welcoming. I loved waking up to ocean views and spending the days exploring beautiful Caribbean islands with crystal-clear water and relaxing beaches. The food was consistently good, and the onboard entertainment was a lot of fun. The real highlight is the ports of call. Each Caribbean island has its own personality—pristine beaches, crystal-clear snorkeling spots, colorful towns, and friendly locals. Excursions are easy to book and well run, whether you want to relax on the beach, explore local history, or try something adventurous like zip-lining or sailing. Overall, it was a perfect mix of relaxation and excitement, and I’d absolutely cruise with Royal Caribbean again. Booking through Marsha Hutchens made the process completely stress-free—she handled every detail and was incredibly helpful from planning to departure. She was available anytime we needed her.
