About Me

Disney and Cruise Vacation Specialist

I grew up traveling the world as a foreign exchange student and the daughter of a commercial airline pilot. I lived for a year in Australia and visited my sisters who were also exchange students in Australia and South Africa. In college I continued my love of travel while studying in the Netherlands and exploring the European continent by rail. I traveled to London to reunite with some childhood friends and I returned “home” to Ireland spending time visiting with my grandparents’ families and getting to know dozens of cousins.

After marrying and honeymooning in St. Lucia, I began my love of cruise adventures by first visiting Alaska and Canada. The Caribbean, Bahamas and Panama Canal and Mexico followed along with a vow renewal at San Pedro Claver Church in Cartagena, Columbia. I have sailed on Princess, Holland America, Royal Caribbean and I am a gold level latitudes member on Norwegian Cruise Line.

My most current travel kicks have brought me to the Orlando area many times over the last few years. I’ve planned many adventures at Disney World, Sea World, Discovery Cove, and Universal. I have run several runDisney races including the two-course challenge during Disney’s Food and Wine festival at Epcot. When organizing travel for my running group I have maximized savings by coming up with creative accommodations and expert use of the Disney dining plan.

I have been included in my host agency's Medallion Club since 2022 earning a Silver distinction and Gold for 2023. This acknowledgement of my service to clients is indicative of how I serve each client and their adventures as a unique project and celebration.

Of all my travel adventures I would say that snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef and visiting Uluru in Australia and touring Kruger National Park in South Africa stand out. My favorite city in Europe is Bruges, Belgium for it’s quite side streets and unique canals. My favorite cruise port is Dominica for its amazing natural wonders and friendly people. As for my favorite Disney vacation it’s impossible to pick! I think there’s something for everyone there and the value of the memories created can’t be beat.

Accolades

I thought I knew a lot about all things Disney, but Jen Meyer is definitely an expert! Not only has she saved me $100s of dollars by being on top of special hotel rates, but has advised me on the best tickets to buy, dining plan value (how to get the best bang for your buck with snacks & quick service options), best Fast Pass strategies & day to day planning so that we can maximize our fun! I will absolutely be using her for my next trip & definitely recommend her to anyone planning a Disney trip! Michelle S.

Jen exceptional in planning 4 major trips for us!
Reviewed By Jillene - Minneapolis, MN | Traveled to Bora Bora ~ French Polynesia ~ South Pacific
Jennifer is the greatest helper to make all your Travel dreams come true! She finds the loveliest places that exist, we swear! The whole family Cruise to Hawaii! She found us the best Luau. Then we wanted a low-key place for just us 2, & she sent us to Kona, HI, the Fairmont Orchid. It was so great that we have returned! So magical! Jen has helped us with 4 vacations: Bora Bora International in French Polynesia is our new favorite for the colors of the sea & the Tiki Hut DELUXE (my term). This trip was towards the end of Covid & Jen made us so comfortable, giving direction in navigating that scary time. Jen has now set us up for our dream trip: Cruising Norway on Oceania Cruise Lines! We trust her as she is so great at "all the detailed reminders" we need to travel. We are busy & needed her guidance to stay "on top of everything" in planning International trips. Jennifer Meyer is truly exceptional!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Memorable Trips
Reviewed By Jo - Huntley | Traveled to Europe
Jen recently planned my parents trips to France and Spain with our boys and they had an incredible time. The process of going to their tours were flawless. It was definitely an experience our boys will not forget with their grandparents. Most importantly, Jen worked with our budget without any judgment. It was more important for Jen to plan an unforgettable trip without breaking the bank. She is currently planning our family reunion/ vacation to Italy and can’t wait to see what she in store for us.
Jennifer Meyer responded
"Joanne, Thank you so much for your kind words. I've loved living vicariously through your families trips and your next one to Italy is on track to be the best yet! Thank you again for repeatedly trusting me to help create family memories."
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
