When I was younger, I developed a deep love for travel after visiting several US states, trips to the Caribbean, and touring Europe, where I formed lasting memories while learning about various cultures and historical periods. In 2019, I became a Travel Consultant, combining my passion for travel with my love of assisting others. I have had the pleasure of arranging travel for many amazing people from diverse backgrounds. People who are commemorating significant occasions or treating themselves to much-needed leisure. From proposals, weddings, honeymoons, and girls' weekends to anniversary, graduation, and birthday festivities as well as trips to make sentimental childhood memories spent at Disney or Universal Studios. I have been fortunate enough to be the point person to help them realize their travel goals, regardless of the reason for the trip.
Being a part of The Vacationeer allows me to provide my clients, present and potential, with stress-free, unforgettable vacation experiences at no extra expense. I have been a certified Disney travel planner and Universal Parks & Resorts travel advisor since 2019. In 2023, I finished my training to become a Los Cabos Specialist and a Cayman Islands Specialist. I'm now pursuing certifications for Virgin Voyages, Hyatt Inclusive, and Royal Caribbean. I look forward to assisting you with your next vacation, wherever it may lead you.

Creating Disney Magic!
Reviewed By Ali - Rolesville, NC | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
This is our second trip with Michelle planning! We enjoyed our Disney trip in January 2022 so much, we’re having Michelle plan an extended family Disney trip for October of this year. Michelle has been great about providing planning tips, helping with discounts and dining reservations, and even delivered a special treat to our resort for us. :-)

Wonderful experience!

Michelle made booking so easy! I decided to extend my work trip in London last minute and she was able to help me find a great hotel in a wonderful quaint part of town that was close to everything I wanted to see! Plan to work with her again soon!

Our First Disney Trip
Reviewed By Edna - Grand Prairie, TX | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Michelle made our vacation dreams come true! From the beginning, she gave us various options that fit within our budget and asked us exactly what we were looking for. She was readily available to answer questions and constantly sent us updates especially as it got closer to our vacation dates. She checked on us during our trip to ensure everything was going good. All in all, she made the process so easy and stress-free and we had so much fun! We will be using her for all future trips.

Never worked with a travel agent before…
Reviewed By Jen Dwyer - Springfield, Missouri | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Michelle has been wonderful to work with on planning all the details of our Disney trips. She successfully helped us purchase and coordinate for a party of 15 one year. Then, we planned (but later had to cancel due to illness ) a trip the next year. She walked us through all of the necessary details and helped us until we received a full refund. I won’t plan a Disney trip without her in the future!

"Jen,

My Travel Stories
Winter Escape in Cabo San Lucas
During the summer, when tourism is at its peak, many people seek out tropical holidays. My family loves off-season travel to get the most out of our trips.
Throughout the winter months in Cabo San Lucas, the climate remains warm enough for swimming and cool enough to enjoy activities like strolling around the marina to see playful sea lio...

Client Testimonials
Canadians in Orlando
"Thank you Michelle! We had the best time at Universal and Portofino! It will be a vacation we'll remember forever. Thank you for helping me plan it and for all the helpful info. We loved Hagrids and Spider-Man the best when it came to rides. We really enjoyed lunch at Mythos and also at City Walk had an amazing dinner at Antonio's too thanks to your suggestions! Also having access to the club food, snacks, drinks, etc with the club room at Portofino was amazing and very beneficial to us when hungry or thirsty. Thank you for recommending it. Highly recommend and look forward to planning with you again."

Family Vacation at the Ritz in Grand Cayman
Wow - The Warf was amazing!!! Our favorite place so far. Thanks so much! It truly was an amazing experience. This trip has been the best experience thanks to your help. Again, all of your recommendations were fabulous!
We can't wait to finalize our 2025 Disney trip with you!

Destination Wedding Success!
Absolutely the best experience with Michelle booking our trip to Cabo San Lucas. She was able to find us the best rates, even when compared to a group rate given for a destination wedding. She set up safe and reputable ground transfers and even was able to get the resort to honor the discounted rate when we had to extend our stay due to flight cancellations.
To our surprise, she was even able to talk to the resort and when we checked in, we had a free room upgrade! We spent mornings watching the sun rise and whales breach right from our upgraded oceanfront 2-bedroom balcony. It was an AMAZING trip, thanks to Michelle.
