Hi! My name is Melanie Gifford and I live in Michigan with my husband, daughter and twin sons. Disney World has always been my first choice for a vacation destination and my love for it keeps growing with every visit. My excitement for Disney, along with wanting to help others get the most out of their vacations, are the main reasons I became a travel planner. I want to share what I’ve learned with you and make sure every detail of your vacation is taken care of, so you can relax and have an amazing time!
I’ve visited Disney World many times at all different phases of life. This has given me an understanding of what Disney is like at all different ages and how each trip can be so different from others. My husband and I were fortunate to be able to honeymoon at Disney World and on a Disney Cruise. Truly the best type of honeymoon, in my opinion. The Disney Cruise Line is top notch and something I recommend to everyone. Now, vacationing with my family, I get to see the magic through the eyes of my children. Having the opportunity to visit Disney throughout my life has given me experience with multiple resorts, dining locations, special events and I’ve learned so many tips and tricks I’d love to share with you.
When planning a vacation, it’s common to have many questions and not know where to begin. That’s where I come in to help make the process go smoothly. I give personalized attention to each of my clients to ensure you have your dream vacation. My services are free and include resort recommendations, dining & tour reservations, discount monitoring, itinerary planning and more. I love to talk Disney, so if you have any questions, feel free to contact me anytime.

I specialize in all Disney vacations – Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, Adventures by Disney, Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa and Universal Orlando too!

Melanie,
Thank-you for all you do. You are a great planner and it is a great feeling knowing you have taken care of everything. We have used your service for past vacations and have our next one planned by you in 8 more days! We love it when you preform your “magic” and get us a discount or a reservation for a hard to get dining venue!! Thank-you, thank-you!!!!
If you are even thinking about a trip to Disney……do yourself a favor and call Melanie.
I would just like to say how much we appreciated your help in planning our trip! It was so nice to be able to communicate with a person one on one versus just choosing stuff and hoping for the best. You had so many recommendations for us to choose from, which was super helpful, as we haven’t been there in years. The reservations and fast passes were all wonderful choices and we look forward to going again someday with your help of course! Thank you again!!
Melanie all your help in planning (my first) Disney trip was so appreciated. It was all so overwhelming and you made the whole process much easier and less stressful. We had a great time and I would not hesitate to have you help with any future planning and/or make referrals to you. Thank-you so much for all your help1
We so appreciate everything Melanie did for us to make this Disney vacation a wonderful experience. She had great suggestions, made all the reservations, and even got us into a restaurant that we weren’t able to get in on our own. If you want a stress free vacation, give Melanie a call.
Melanie was so helpful with any and all our questions about our trip! Very responsive and very timely in answering my emails and questions. She always kept us informed about our vacation and when things were available to book like meals/fast passes & Halloween party. Gave great recommendations on which rides we should FP and others to wait in line instead. Very happy with her services this is our second time booking with her and will continue to use and recommend her to others so they can have a great vacation too!
Thanks so much for everything!
Melanie was the best in planning our 11 day Disney and Universal trip. She was on top of everything with recommendations and reminders. We could not be happier with the service we received. It was such a relief to sit back and think about all of the fun we would be having instead of stressing about the details. She was always quick to respond to any question we had and provided us with an amazing itinerary prior to the trip. I highly recommend Melanie for your Disney and Universal vacation planning!
I am so happy Melanie helped us! We’d been to Disney before but it was very helpful to have all her recommendations. We found that having her help us identify resort options was much better than navigating it without her. I had a few questions that popped up along the way and Melanie was able to answer all of them very quickly. She was very responsive and was so nice to know she could help us out!
Disney truly wouldn’t have been possible this year without Melanie!! Melanie is seriously the BEST travel agent I have ever worked with! She went ABOVE AND BEYOND for my mom and I. Our trip was affected by covid back in March & Melanie took care of every reschedule we had to do, every reservation, every fast pass, finding new lodging, literally EVERYTHING!! We had to reschedule it about 3 different times and I can’t even imagine the work she had to put in to make it possible for us to make it to Disney this September! We had an absolutely wonderful time- everything was put together so perfectly & was so easy to follow- Disney planning can get quite confusing especially for first timers like us, but we had no issues bc Melanie truly helped us every single step of the way! She answered every single question I had before & even during our trip!! She is so so responsive! She is so extremely helpful & made everything so easy for us! I’m so happy we were able to go this year & it truly wouldn’t have been possible without Melanie and all she does!!! If you’re planning a Disney/Universal trip- THIS IS YOUR AGENT! I will never use another travel agent when booking Disney/Universal trips! We will be back!!!! Thank you so much Melanie for all you do & all the time you take to help us all book our magical trips!! You are kick ass at what you do & I truly can’t thank you enough!!! My mom and I appreciate the heck outta you!!!!!
Melanie is awesome! She was in constant contact and answered very quickly. I had a lot of stupid questions and Melanie answered them without making me feel stupid or annoying! She found me the best deals and got my husband the reservation he really wanted at Savi’s! We had a great time! She was even available to answer questions while we were on the trip!
Melanie is very knowledgeable and super helpful! I would definitely recommend her to anyone that is looking for a Disney trip of any kind! Don’t waste your time and money trying to do it yourself!
Melanie is the best! Very patient and kind when asking a million questions We have used her services twice now (and soon to be a third) she has saved us money AFTER booking, and is super helpful with all the little details. I highly recommend!
Melanie has planned many of our trips. She does ALL of the work when it comes to planning our trip. She is so patient and always knows the answer to all of our questions. Melanie is so knowledgeable about all things travel. When she books our Disney trips she not only books our hotel and ticket packages but also everything else from dining to fast passes. It truly makes going on vacation so easy. Her services are free and she’s so easy to work with.
