Melissa Bratton brings a lot of Disney experience to the table. Her love for Walt Disney World® Resort started with her first trip at age 10. She has been helping her family and friends plan trips for years, so becoming an agent who specializes in Disney Destinations was a perfect fit! Melissa’s passion is helping clients choose the best place to stay, the best places to eat, and the best things to do on their trip — all while finding the best value for their money.

That first trip that began Melissa’s love of Disney was followed by many more Disney vacations, including a school FBLA and a high school graduation trip all in one month in the summer of ’89! When she was in her early 20s, she traveled to Tampa for business and knew she couldn’t be that close and not visit Disney! She went down a day early, met up with a friend who was a former Cast Member and still lived in Orlando, and spent the day at Disney. 

In 2002, Melissa’s husband, Lance, asked her where she wanted to go for their last trip together before their first baby was born — a daughter who was due later that year. Her answer? Disney World, course. One of her most special memories came from that trip. “Lance and I were enjoying our day in the Magic Kingdom® Park and decided to take a spin on the Astro Orbiter® in Tomorrowland®,” Melissa said. “The Cast Member told us to get in the same rocket, and we asked if he was sure we would fit. (I am 5’8? and was six months pregnant at the time, and my husband is just over 6'.) The Cast Member assured us we would fit just fine, so we climbed into our rocket and off we went! For the record, two tall adults (especially when one is six months pregnant) do NOT fit comfortably in one rocket. I don’t think we have ever laughed as hard as we did while squishing each other on that ride! Every time we see the Astro Orbiter, we both laugh remembering that day!”  One day into the pre-baby trip and Lance was hooked on Disney!

The Brattons have since had two children and have taken them on many Disney vacations: Disney World, Disneyland® Resort, Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa in KoOlina, Hawai‘i, and Disney Cruises to the Baja Coast, Panama Canal, South America, Mexico, the Caribbean, the Bahamas, Canada, and Alaska. And, Lance and Melissa spent 10 days in Peru on an Adventures by Disney® trip celebrating their anniversary a few years ago. It is safe to say the Brattons are a fully committed Disney family.

Since becoming a travel agent, Melissa has expanded her area of knowledge. In addition to planning trips for the full line of Disney Destinations, she plans trips to Universal Orlando and Hollywood, Royal Caribbean Cruises, Norwegian Cruises, European river cruises, and beach vacations (and weddings) to properties owned by Sandals, Beaches and more.

Melissa is looking forward to helping more couples, families, and friends plan for wonderful vacations to Disney and beyond.

What Melissa's clients say:

Alaska - Hubbard Glacier

We had a wonderful trip to Disney World with everything planned by Melissa. Everything she suggested was spot on. Our favorite night was at 'Ohana at the Polynesian. We had a table in the corner of the restaurant where we could view the fireworks from Magic Kingdom. It was a special night for our daughter who turned 21. The meals and character dining were perfect for the big ones and the little ones! Great job, Melissa! -  Roseann B.

Melissa has handled any issues we have come up with, and she is always helpful when answering our questions. We used her last year and were so impressed that we sought her out again! -  Donna F.
