Hi! I’m Melissa, an Erie, Pennsylvania native, where my husband and I have raised our four children (18, 19, 23, and 28). Although Erie will always be home, my passion for travel has carried me across the United States and to destinations like Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and the Bahamas and Caribbean.

My love for Disney and travel started early with my very first visit to Walt Disney World at age five, and it’s something I’ve continued throughout the years. Each trip has brought new memories, new perspectives, and a deeper appreciation for thoughtful travel planning.
Trip planning has always been one of my favorite things to do. I’ve organized large and small family vacations to Disney World and Disneyland, Boston, Salem, Mrytle Beach and once a 7,000 mile cross country RV adventure that crossed through 23 states. I also love cruise planning—matching the right itinerary and onboard experience to each traveler to make sure it truly fits their vacation style. I’ve stayed everywhere from charming roadside motels and simple RV parks to upscale and luxury resorts, and no matter the budget, my goal is always the same: creating a vacation that’s smooth, enjoyable, and memorable for everyone involved.

However, planning Disney vacations is truly where my heart is. I love helping families discover the magic and navigate the nuances
I’ve experienced Disney on many budgets and travel styles—from value resorts to deluxe—and I know how to make the most of every trip, no matter the price point.

I’d love to use my Disney knowledge, attention to detail, and personal experience to help plan the perfect Disney vacation for you and your family—one that feels magical, manageable, and truly unforgettable.
When I’m not dreaming up the next great getaway, I’m usually experimenting with new recipes, hunting for new places to explore, and trying different cuisines while sharing my experiences on TikTok.
