My passion for Disney started with my first visit to Walt Disney World in the 70’s. I was just 10 years old and I will never forget the feeling of awe walking into the Magic Kingdom and seeing Mickey and Minnie Mouse for the very first time. It feels like home. Since than I have visited Disney resorts over 30 times and my heart still melts every time I see Cinderella’s castle and walk down Main Street.
Mickey’s Travel is celebrating 22 years of sending families to Disney Destinations around the world. From Disney World in Florida, Disneyland in California, Disney Cruise Lines, Disney Adventures, Disney’s Aulani in Hawaii, to Disney parks in Europe and Asia. While we specialize in Disney, we are now a full service agency with access to thousands of destinations around the world. Disney can be overwhelming for many so, I will personally plan every part of your vacation. From transportation, fast passes, dining reservations, stroller rentals to grocery delivery, I will be your personal Disney concierge.
Being an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner is truly my dream come true so much so that I’ve been told by many that I should be a Disney ambassador. In some ways this gives me the opportunity to do that with each and every client. I can’t think of anything I’d rather do than help create the perfect trip for you. Walking through the gates of the Magic Kingdom makes all your troubles and worries disappear. It’s your time to just be a kid again. There’s everything from endless entertainment, delicious dining and beautiful resorts help to create so many wonder memories that will last a lifetime.
Cruises are very popular and family friendly. Disney Cruise lines can take you to places around the world and now offers River Cruises. With access to, Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Celebrity and more there is an itinerary to fit your budget and dreams. So, whether you’re thinking Europe or a short getaway to the Bahamas there is something for everyone.
Disney Adventures offers escorted tours in the US and around the world. With a personal Disney guide you will learn about and be able to experience different cultures with a hands on approach. One day you may be making pizzas in a small Italian restaurant and the next stomping grapes and making wine.
If you want, you can mix it up and visit Universal studios and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Orlando and Hollywood. Or maybe you’d rather relax on the beaches of Mexico, Aruba, Jamaica or the Dominican. The possibilities are endless.
Let me take the stress out of planning your vacation and help you make decision about hotels, tickets, dinning plans, shows etc.… The best part is my services are free and while you’re on vacation I’ll just be a phone call away. So, sit back relax, reconnect with family and experience Disney or any destination around the world as never before.

I normally plan all of our travel as a family and had experience at Disneyland, but my mom chose to work with Daena to plan our once in a lifetime trip to Disneyworld. It was a very good decision! Daena was a fabulous Disney Planner! She knew the ins and outs of all the parks, rides, character meals, etc. Always professional and very personable, Daena was a true partner in planning a memorable family reunion for us. There is so much to see and do at Disneyworld that it was extremely helpful to have a partner help us plan it all. In the end, everyone had an amazing time and my kids want to go back again soon!! Many thanks Daena! I would recommend this agent to my family and friends

Daena worked her magic!
Reviewed By Mimi - Howell, Michigan | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Daena worked her magic and planned a trip to Punta Cana for my family. It was so nice to sit back and let her handle both the minor and major details. Face it looking at all the stuff on-line can be overwhelming. I would highly recommend using Daena Nicholas for all your travel needs. It is so nice to know there is someone you can trust to make the arrangements and all you have to do is show up and enjoy yourself. I have also recommended her to 2 of my friends for Disney trips. They were both thrilled to have her expert advise and input. Both said they would not have known the ins and outs of the many Park features without her knowledge and insight. Most people think you pay extra money for her services, but you don’t. I call that a win-win situation.

Daena helped our family of 7 plan our first ever trip to Disney World last Thanksgiving. She taught us everything we needed to know (and there is a lot to know) and she made sure all of our hotel accommodations, fast passes, events, grocery service, transportation were all lined up. This incredible attention to detail, coupled with her knowledge, set us up for a phenomenal vacation!! It was critical that we had someone that could help us find the best resort, help us plan our vacation in a way that allowed all 7 of our family members to be happy (kids, parents and grandparents)!
