Disney Destinations & Universal Resort Specialist

You deserve a vacation. Let's make it spectacular!
You deserve a vacation. Let's make it spectacular!

As a professional Travel Advisor specializing in Disney Destinations, I have made numerous trips to both Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort. My in-person experience paired with my training through The College of Disney Knowledge has equipped me with the skill set needed to make your next vacation seamless. 

I've traveled solo, with family, with children and with friends so I understand the need for different vacation styles.

With ongoing updates, changes and additions to Disney Destinations, I am always looking around the corner for what's new and what's next. This is a benefit to my clients in that I am able to make sure they are equipped with the most up-to-date information when it comes to rides and attractions as well as any discounts or promotions that they might qualify for. This saves you both time and money! 

Additional Disney destinations that I am partnered with are:

  • Disney Cruise Line
  • Adventures by Disney
  • Aulani Resort in Hawaii

As a Universal Parks Specialist, I can help create amazing vacations to both Universal Orlando Resort & Universal Studios Hollywood. Some of the most immersive theme park lands belong to Universal including The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (Orlando & Hollywood) and Super Nintendo World (Hollywood only, for now). If you've ever wanted to feel like you're part of the movies, get ready to fall in love with Universal!

Royal Caribbean Cruise Line is one of my preferred cruise partners! Cruise vacations are one of the most economical all-inclusive style vacations available. With ports all over the United States (plus international!) there's one close enough to make this vacation a breeze! As a Texas resident, we have a gorgeous new Royal Caribbean Cruise Line terminal in Galveston that's made travel even better!

Your personalized concierge services for any of my partnered destinations can include:

  • Lodging
  • Theme Park Tickets
  • Dining Reservations
  • Tours
  • Special Event Tickets
  • And More!

Best of all, my concierge services are usually available at no extra cost with qualifying packages! You'll receive one-on-one service catered to your travel party at no additional charge.

Why wait? Let's create your next adventure today!

From Zero to Mickey Hero

Reviewed By Justin B. - Kyle, TX | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Melissa helped to plan the perfect vacation. She worked with us to tailor our dining and ride reservations based on our preferences. Melissa even booked everything for us - it was so easy! Instead of sleeping on the ground like the other exhausted people we saw - we were high-fiving Goofy between rides!

Disney Trip Planned by a Pro!

Reviewed By Texas Family of 4 - Kyle, TX | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Melissa was easy to work with and very thorough! She helped us plan a great Disney vacation with a very short lead-time. Even though things get booked well in advance, Melissa was able to fit in some of our must-dos. She was on stand-by while we were on our vacation and helped us as we navigated Disney. Highly recommend!

Best Travel Advisor Eer

Reviewed By Duckfish - Calhoun, LA | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Melissa is great to work with. She answered all of my questions and helped me plan the perfect trip for my family. She knew all of the tricks so we could get the dates we wanted, the shows and tours we wanted and helped me figure out how to ride the new galaxy ride. I loved the package of information that she sent so each day I could look at just the info for that day’s park and make sure we did all of the things on our list.

I honestly was not looking forward to going back to Disney because of a previous experience, but with Melissa’s help, it turned into a wonderful trip! Thank you so much and I can’t wait for the next vacation we plan together!!

Because of Melissa, we were able to get the dining places we requested and the after party we requested. We love her suggestion on hotel stay at Universal. It was perfect.Evebthough some of our requests werent available initially, she kept looking. On our own, we would have given up. The last minute, a spot became available and Melissa snagged it. We were so grateful.
