About Me:

Hi! I'm Hunter Sharp, a travel advisor based in Indiana, with over a decade of travel planning experience. 

I work primarily with busy moms who carry the mental load for their families and want a vacation that actually feels easy once they get on the ship. Not overwhelming. Not over booked. Not something they’re second guessing at midnight after scrolling reviews. A trip where the details are handled, the decisions are simplified, and they can finally exhale.

Disney Cruise Line is where I spend a lot of my time; both professionally and personally. I’ve sailed extensively (30+ cruises) with children, multigenerational families, and guests with very real needs that require thoughtful planning. That includes navigating food allergies and dietary restrictions, planning for accessibility accommodations, choosing the right stateroom categories, and creating itineraries that work for families instead of exhausting them.

As a previous DCL bride myself, I also specialize in Disney Cruise Line weddings and have supported many couples through the planning process from start to finish. 

What makes my approach different is experience paired with discernment. I don’t just know what can be booked, but I know what’s actually worth it, what to skip, and how to structure a cruise so it flows smoothly for your family. My job is to filter the noise, narrow the options, and guide you with confidence so you’re not carrying the weight of every decision yourself.

Travel, for me, isn’t about squeezing in everything or documenting every moment. It’s about choosing a space where your family can slow down, reconnect, and enjoy being together without the constant logistics running in the background. I handle the planning so you can stay present where you're needed most in your day to day life. 

My favorite Disney Cruise Line memory:

On a Disney Fantasy sailing in 2020, my family was selected for a private meet-and-greet on the final night after our children’s interactions with the entertainment team throughout the cruise. We spent extended time with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, Pluto, and Chip ’n’ Dale, and it was incredibly special. That moment is a reminder of what Disney does best when the experience is right.

Why families choose to work with me:

Disney Cruise Line is my specialty. I’ve sailed 30+ times across Disney’s fleet and know the differences between ships, itineraries, stateroom categories, onboard flow, and concierge-level planning. With me, you don't rely on generic advice, you rely on firsthand experience.

Since 2016, I’ve worked one-on-one with families who value expertise, communication, and service. Once your cruise is booked, I stay involved. You’ll know what matters, what’s coming next, and what you can safely ignore. If something changes or goes sideways, you have someone who already knows your trip and knows how to handle it.

My goal is simple: to be the person you trust to handle the details so you don’t have to; now and for many vacations to come.

Thank you for being here! I hope to assist you in setting sail real soon.

"I have worked with Hunter for many years on several trips and she nails it every time.

"I reached out to Hunter about taking a vacation, but wasn't sure where I wanted to go. She presented me with many different options, and I ultimately decided on a Disney Cruise! I would have never considered a Disney Cruise if it wasn't for her recommendation. She seamlessly planned our trip, and it was perfect in every aspect! Even the room she picked for us was perfect, and I didn't give her any preferences to help her pick it! All of the advice she gave us was spot on. We booked a placeholder before we ever got off the ship, because it was so amazing. Thank you again Hunter for making our vacation so perfect and absolutely magical!" - Shelby V.

"Planning a Disney trip has always been overwhelming for me. From all of the pieces and little details, it becomes daunting and takes away from the enjoyment of our vacation. Hunter was very patient and helpful in answering all of our questions promptly. She often presented us with multiple options to choose from and all of them were tailored to the needs/wishes of our family. Hunter helped us arrange airport transportation, hotel accommodations, and so much more! She also helped us plan my daughter's 6th birthday celebration while we were on! Thanks for making our family vacation fun and memorable, Hunter!" - Jill R.

"Hunter was absolutely amazing. Sharing ideas with someone as experienced and passionate about Disney makes the planning more fun. It makes it so much easier to have somebody that I can truly trust to let me know exactly what I needed to do and when I needed to do it to make the experience flawless. I've never experienced such care and professionalism from a travel agent before like I did with Hunter. Her knowledge of Disney is what makes her stand out to me." - Betzy L.

"We were familiar with Disney to start, but Hunter was awesome in helping us understand all of the changes and new additions. Hunter was excellent! She responded to any email I sent very promptly. With however many clients she may have been working with at any given time, I was impressed! The whole experience was stress free. We knew what we wanted and she made it happen. This was our 4th trip in the last 7 years and we have had nothing but fantastic experiences." -Timothy U.

"Hunter did a wonderful job of getting back to us quickly and was never put off by all of my questions. And I had a lot. She was so understanding in us wanting to do some of the planning but asking lots of questions so she could guide us in the right direction. I really liked that she took care of booking all too the big things but then we were able to navigate the planning and reserving of the smaller things. My husband and I are naturally planners and organizers but this was the first time we were going on a Disney vacation, so we needed help with just about everything from airport transportation to daily activities. I highly recommend working with Hunter." - Amanda D.

"Before I started working with Hunter, I was struggling with all of the things! I knew I wanted to take my family to Disney, but didn't know where to start. Working with Hunter was fabulous. She had all the knowledge that I wanted to know. She was very helpful in guiding us in the right direction. Hunter was wonderful at telling me when I needed to do things to meet the planning milestones." - Jodie V.

“Being our first trip, I wasn't really sure what to do and how to navigator the trip or how to go about getting the most out of our Disney vacation. Our experience with our agent was great! I was given so much information, support, and guidance! And Hunter was very quick to respond to all of my questions and make all of the changes I needed from when I originally booked up leaving on vacation! We found that the most important to use Hunter at Friend Like Me Travel Co was having someone to ask all of your questions to and do all of the behind the scenes work is no nice and helps take the stress out of planning a vacation!" -Karyssa B.
