Magical Storybook Travels has shaken up the travel world for special needs families — in the best way possible. Owner and travel specialist Nicole Thibault created Magical Storybook Travels back in 2015, focused on making travel accessible and enjoyable for families living with an array of special needs.
Catering to all families and specific travel requirements, the Magical Storybook team provides expert tips, tour options and destination suggestions for families with travel challenges.
Booking a trip catering to travelers with special needs is a niche market Magical Storybook agents meet. Let the experienced and understanding experts guide you through the booking process beginning with your specific wants and needs.

Users begin by meeting with Storybook’s staff and discussing their family’s needs and expectations for the trip. Whether in person or via Skype or FaceTime, travelers receive that human connection and understanding, while agents get a personal look and deeper understanding of client needs.
Once you’ve discussed your family vacation, Storybook agents help you narrow down your options and maybe even introduce a few you didn’t know were possible. Let the agency make recommendations based on your conversation and check out their personalized vacation ideas for you and your family.

And you probably, like me, know there are some really great places around the country to see those colors in all their glory. But America isn’t the only country where nature puts on this annual show. Japan enjoys plenty of the changing colors of the season as well, and it just might be the next “it” place for leaf peeping.
