I’m a lifelong Disney fanatic turned travel agent, dedicated to making your Disney dreams come true. My love for Disney began on cherished family trips to Walt Disney World, where I fell in love with the magic, the storytelling, and the unforgettable experiences. Those early adventures ignited a passion that has stayed with me throughout my life and ultimately led me to where I am today—helping families create their own magical memories. Planning a Disney vacation can be overwhelming, but that’s where I come in! I take great pride in curating personalized trips that cater to each family’s unique needs and desires. Whether it’s a first-time visit or a return to your favorite Disney destination, I pay careful attention to every detail—from dining reservations and park itineraries to special surprises and hidden gems—ensuring your trip is as seamless and magical as possible.I understand that no two families are alike, which is why I take the time to get to know you and your vacation goals. My goal is to make sure your experience is stress-free and filled with the kind of magic that will stay with you for a lifetime.Let’s work together to make your Disney dreams a reality—I can’t wait to help you experience the magic!

First of many cruises to come with Mellissa
Reviewed By Isaac Santiago - Mobile, Alabama | Traveled to Jamaica | Caribbean
Just got back from our first Virgin Voyages cruise and I had to share this
Mellissa truly made this experience unforgettable. From start to finish, she made sure everything was organized, safe, and seamless—while still allowing us to fully let loose and enjoy ourselves. You can tell she genuinely cares about the people she’s bringing together.
What stood out the most was the sense of community. As a gay man traveling with my husband, we felt completely welcomed, seen, and celebrated the entire time. That kind of energy is rare, and it made the trip even more special.
We laughed, relaxed, connected, and created memories we’ll never forget. If you’re thinking about booking a trip—do it with Mellissa. You won’t regret it.
Highly, highly recommend ?

First Time Cruising
As a solo male traveler embarking on my first-ever cruise, I couldn't have asked for a better experience than the one I had with Virgin Voyages. From the moment I started planning my trip Melissa was exceptionally helpful.
Melissa explained everything from embarkation procedures to onboard activities and dining options. Thanks to her thorough preparation, I felt confident and at ease as I stepped onto the ship. There was no first-time cruiser anxiety; instead, I felt prepared and excited for the adventure ahead.
The cruise itself was fantastic, living up to all the expectations set during the booking process. The ship's amenities, the friendly crew, and the overall atmosphere made for an unforgettable trip. I'm already looking forward to my next voyage, and there's no question - I'll be booking with Melissa again. Her expertise made all the difference in ensuring my first cruise was a resounding success. I recommend Virgin Voyages and Melissa as your travel agent.

Perfect from Beginning to End!
I have planned many vacations over the years on my own, but after having the experience of planning a vacation with Melissa Odom as our travel agent, I will never again take a trip without her assistance. Our cruise and entire vacation was perfect from beginning to end thanks to Melissa. She was great with the entire process from planning to updates during the trip. We had 6 people and everything was perfectly executed. We never had to worry about anything. Melissa made sure that every single detail of our vacation was taken care of and we knew that if anything unexpected were to arise during our trip she would be available to assist. Traveling can be overwhelming, especially when traveling out of the country, but knowing we had someone who had our back, to answer any questions we had, or give assistance if needed, was invaluable and allowed us to just relax and enjoy. Thank you Melissa! Cannot wait for our next adventure with your help!

When in Rome
Melissa planned a 28 day solo vacation to my bucket list country, Italy. I gave her a budget, list of cities I wanted to explore, amenities I needed at each lodging, and a list of excursions I wanted to do in each city and she was like Captain Kirk and made it so.
I cannot recommend Melissa enough for all of your travel needs. Even while in country she made sure I was taken care of!! Each accommodation was exquisite and exactly what I asked for. I didn’t ever have to think or plan. She took care of every detail.
I can’t wait to use her services again because she’s my TA for life now.
