Today we’d like to introduce you to Mayra Alves.
Hi Mayra, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
My name is Mayra, and I am the founder and creator behind Family Trip Orlando (@familytrip_orlando). My journey began when my family and I moved to the Orlando area, where I developed a passion for exploring everything the region has to offer—from the iconic Disney and Universal theme parks to local hidden gems.
I started sharing our authentic experiences, practical tips, and travel insights on social media to help other families plan seamless, stress-free vacations. What started as a passion project quickly grew into a vibrant online community, reaching over 20 million video views a month.
Today, beyond creating daily content, I offer custom travel consulting, virtual tour guiding, and personalized concierge services to help families turn their dream Orlando trips into unforgettable reality.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It hasn’t always been a smooth road. Moving to a new country and starting a business from scratch brings its own set of challenges, from adapting to a different market to building trust within a brand-new community.
On the content creation side, keeping up with ever-changing social media algorithms and standing out in a highly competitive niche like Orlando travel requires constant consistency, creativity, and resilience. Balancing content production with personalized consulting services while ensuring every client receives high-quality attention is a continuous learning process, but overcoming these hurdles has made the journey incredibly rewarding.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I am a digital content creator and Orlando travel specialist. I specialize in creating engaging short-form video content, practical travel tips, behind-the-scenes guides, and itineraries for families visiting Disney, Universal, and the broader Orlando area.
I am best known for sharing authentic, real-time insights straight from the parks and local spots. What I am most proud of is building a vibrant, loyal community on Instagram that reaches over 20 million views monthly, directly helping thousands of families plan unforgettable vacations.
What sets me apart is living locally in Orlando while translating complex trip planning into approachable, high-quality, and relatable digital content that genuinely solves problems for travelers.
What quality or characteristic do you feel is most important to your success?
Authenticity and consistency are the most important qualities to my success. In the travel and content creation space, audience trust is everything. People rely on honest, real-time, and practical recommendations to plan their family vacations.
By being genuine, sharing transparent experiences, and staying consistent with daily valuable content, I’ve been able to build a meaningful and lasting connection with my community.
