Today we’d like to introduce you to José Augusto Moser Cury.
Hi José Augusto, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
The story of Parques Incríveis began in 2020, when my wife, Mariana, and I returned to Brazil after a special trip to Orlando and New York to celebrate our first year and a half of marriage.
During that trip, we visited Disney, Universal, and some of the major attractions in Orlando. I have always been passionate about theme parks, travel, and everything related to fun and entertainment. So, when we returned home, I gathered our photos, memories, special moments, and experiences from the trip and decided to create an Instagram account to share a little of our journey with other people.
It was actually my third trip to Orlando. On my first visit, in 2013, I traveled with my cousin Rafael on a bachelor trip. On my second trip, I went with my parents and my brother, when both my brother and I were still single. This third trip was particularly special because, this time, I was experiencing Orlando with my wife.
Over the years, since my first visit to Orlando in 2013, I began researching theme parks extensively. I followed blogs, Instagram accounts, YouTube channels, podcasts, and many other sources, gradually building a great deal of knowledge about the parks, attractions, themed lands, restaurants, and the overall experience.
So, when I started Parques Incríveis, I didn’t want to simply post beautiful photos from our trip. I also began writing short captions with useful tips and relevant information for people who were planning their first trip to the Orlando parks.
After this first experience, I was contacted by a friend of mine, Giuliano, who owns a virtual travel agency called Geek Trip. Giuliano had many years of experience in the tourism industry, particularly in the Orlando theme park market.
He proposed a partnership in which we could create and share content together, and I also began selling travel products through his agency. It was a very special and blessed partnership, and it became an important turning point in the story of Parques Incríveis.
Since then, I have been helping people plan their trips to Orlando by offering travel packages, flights, travel insurance, theme park tickets, attraction tickets, and other travel-related products, as well as creating customized itineraries.
But for me, Parques Incríveis has always been about much more than simply selling a trip. One of the things I enjoy most is helping people feel prepared and confident before they travel. I share tips, suggestions, itinerary ideas, and practical information, especially with people who are visiting for the first time and often have questions or even some initial anxiety about how everything will work.
For us as Brazilians, a trip to Orlando represents a significant investment. Because of that, we believe every trip should be carefully planned so that people can make the most of their time, resources, and the entire experience.
Over the years, I also began researching theme parks around the world. That is when the idea behind the name Parques Incríveis, which means “Incredible Parks,” became even more meaningful.
We didn’t want to focus exclusively on Orlando or on just one company or theme park complex. We wanted the name to represent the incredible experiences we have had in the parks we have visited and, at the same time, the experiences we hope to help our friends, acquaintances, followers, and future clients discover for themselves.
Through this research, I became increasingly interested in the different Disney destinations around the world, as well as Universal, SeaWorld, European theme parks, and many other parks across the United States and other countries.
At the same time, we wanted to value the incredible theme parks we have here in Brazil. Over the past five years, we have increasingly focused on Brazilian parks, especially Beto Carrero World, as well as some of the water parks in our country.
More recently, this part of our story has become even more personal. My wife, Mariana, and I have our little daughter, Hadassa, who will turn three next month. So we have also started experiencing some of these parks as a family.
So far, Hadassa has only had the opportunity to visit some water parks in the region where we live, in Londrina, in the state of Paraná, Brazil. But as she grows, one of our dreams is to give her the opportunity to discover incredible parks around the world, beginning, of course, with the wonderful parks we have here in Brazil.
And, of course, we hope that one day we can take her to Orlando as well. Both my wife and I have such special memories of our experiences there, and it would be wonderful to experience that magic with her and create a new generation of family memories.
Beyond the incredible and magical moments we have experienced in the parks, we have also learned that good planning, research, and being open to new opportunities can make a trip even more special.
One experience that we will never forget happened at Hollywood Studios. While we were at the park, a couple unexpectedly approached us and gave us tickets to a very special and privileged viewing area for Fantasmic! It was a wonderful surprise and an experience that left a lasting impression on us.
We have also had other memorable experiences, such as unexpectedly getting FastPasses for extremely popular attractions at times when we never thought it would be possible — including Flight of Passage at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Experiences like these taught us that preparation and information can make a huge difference, but that it is also important to remain open to the unexpected.
Over the years, we have accumulated many experiences, stories, and memories that we now have the opportunity to share with others. We have learned how to plan our days, make the most of each park, experience as many attractions as possible, and, at the same time, leave room for those unexpected moments that often become some of the best memories of a trip.
That is what we hope to continue doing through Instagram and all of our social media platforms: encouraging people to discover the incredible theme parks of Orlando and other destinations without being afraid of the experience.
We want people to feel more confident because they have access to information, real experiences, practical tips, and everything we have learned throughout our own journey.
We hope that our content can inspire people not only to visit these incredible places, but also to prepare well, enjoy every moment, and create their own unforgettable memories.
Today, Parques Incríveis is a combination of passion, travel, family, information, and service. What started as a simple Instagram account to share memories from a trip has grown into an opportunity to help other people plan their own adventures, discover amazing parks, and, most importantly, create memories that they can carry with them for a lifetime.
We are very grateful for the opportunity to share a little more about our story and the work we do through Parques Incríveis.
More than anything, we hope to encourage many people to discover Orlando and its incredible theme parks and to experience wonderful moments of vacation, fun, leisure, and quality time with their families and friends.
We also want to encourage people not to look at a trip to Orlando as something impossible or as a dream that is simply out of reach. With determination, saving, good information, and careful planning, it can become a real possibility.
We know that a trip like this requires preparation and represents a significant investment, especially for those of us traveling from Brazil. But we also know, from our own experience, how meaningful it can be to work toward that goal and eventually experience such special moments together with the people we love.
That is what we hope to share through Parques Incríveis: not just information about theme parks, but also inspiration, encouragement, and the belief that incredible experiences can become real memories when we plan, prepare, and pursue them together with the people who matter most to us.
Thank you for the opportunity to share our story!
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It has not always been a smooth road. One of our biggest challenges has been finding a simple and accessible way to explain how to plan a trip to Orlando.
Over the years, planning a trip to Orlando has become increasingly complex because of the enormous number of parks, attractions, reservation systems, different types of priority access, and details that often need to be arranged well in advance. Our challenge is to take all of this information and make it simple enough for someone visiting Orlando for the first time to understand and put into practice.
We also face the challenge of sharing and promoting our work in a space where there are already many people, websites, social media accounts, and content creators dedicated to Orlando and the theme park industry. This is true not only internationally, but also here in Brazil, where there are several well-known voices in this field.
Sometimes it can be difficult to stand out among so much content. But we believe there are still many people who need the kind of information, guidance, and personal perspective that we try to provide.
So, even with these challenges, we continue moving forward. We believe that there is an audience we can reach and people we can help. Our goal is not simply to compete with everyone else, but to continue sharing what we have learned through our own experiences and to help more people feel prepared and confident enough to turn their dream of visiting Orlando into a real experience.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
Our work through Parques Incríveis is focused on helping people discover, plan, and enjoy incredible theme park experiences, especially in Orlando, while also highlighting amazing parks in Brazil and around the world.
We work with travel products such as vacation packages, flights, travel insurance, theme park tickets, attraction tickets, and customized itineraries. But beyond the commercial side of our work, one of our main focuses is providing information and helping people understand how to make the most of their trip.
We specialize particularly in helping first-time visitors to Orlando. We know that planning a trip to Disney, Universal, and the other parks can feel overwhelming, especially for someone who has never been there before. There are so many parks, attractions, reservations, access systems, restaurants, schedules, and details to consider. Our goal is to make all of that information easier to understand and turn it into a practical and enjoyable plan.
We are known for sharing real experiences, practical tips, and the lessons we have learned from our own trips. We don’t simply talk about the parks from a distance. We have experienced them ourselves, made mistakes, discovered better ways to organize our days, and learned how to make the most of our time there. We try to transform those experiences into useful information for other people.
What we are most proud of is being able to help people experience Orlando for the first time. Knowing that someone followed our advice, planned their trip with our help, and came back with wonderful memories is much more meaningful to us than simply making a sale.
We are also proud that Parques Incríveis has remained a family project. My wife, Mariana, is part of this journey, and now that we have our daughter, Hadassa, our relationship with theme parks has become even more personal. We are experiencing these places not only as travelers, but also as a family, and we hope to share that perspective with other families.
I believe one of the things that sets us apart is the combination of personal experience, research, and a genuine desire to help. There are many excellent creators and professionals talking about Orlando, and we have great respect for their work. We don’t believe we need to be the biggest to make a difference.
Our goal is to be useful, trustworthy, and approachable.
We want someone who has never been to Orlando to look at our content and think, “I can do this. I can plan this. Maybe this dream is possible for me too.”
That is what Parques Incríveis represents to us: making the world of theme parks feel more accessible, understandable, and achievable, while helping people create incredible memories with the people they love.
What matters most to you? Why?
What matters most to us is family, creating meaningful experiences, and helping people turn dreams into real memories.
For us, a trip to a theme park is not simply about attractions, rides, or entertainment. It is about the people we experience those moments with. Some of our most special memories from Orlando come from being there with our family and sharing those experiences together.
That is also why our work with Parques Incríveis means so much to us. We know that, for many Brazilian families, a trip to Orlando requires years of planning, saving, and preparation. It may represent a significant investment, but what they are really investing in is time together and memories that can last a lifetime.
We want to help make that experience possible and, at the same time, make it less intimidating. We want people to have access to good information, feel prepared, and be able to enjoy their trip with the people they love.
Our own family is an important part of that perspective. Now that we have our daughter, Hadassa, we look at theme parks not only as places we love to visit, but also as places where we hope to create memories with her as she grows.
Ultimately, what matters most to us is people. Our family, the relationships we build, and the opportunity to use what we have learned to help other families experience something special together.
If Parques Incríveis can inspire someone to save, plan, take that trip, and come home with memories they will cherish for the rest of their lives, then we feel that what we are doing has a real purpose.
