My hope for our experience together is to craft a seamless and worry-free adventure for your family, where you can lean on my expertise and feel completely at ease, knowing that every detail is expertly handled and perfectly matches what you envisioned!
I'm Michelle, a pretty lucky girl with an amazing family and a group of lifelong friends. My heart belongs to my adorable niece and nephew and all my friend’s children, and I can't get enough of watching them discover the wonders of the world. Growing up, our family tradition included yearly trips to Disney, crafting memories that still bring a smile to my face. As the designated planner for our epic family vacations and cruises, I thrive on ensuring everyone's joy is at the forefront. When not jet-setting with the fam, I'm shaping young minds as a middle school fifth-grade special education teacher.
My passion for reading, especially in the fantasy genre, keeps my imagination alive. Day trips and adventures are my jam when I'm not immersed in the magical world of Disney. Speaking of which, I'm the ultimate Disney fanatic, with a soft spot for Magic Kingdom's nostalgic charm. Epcot and Hollywood Studios, though, are swiftly climbing the ranks. Polynesian Village Resort has my heart. And, of course, a visit to Trader Sam's Grog Grotto Bar isn't complete without ordering the iconic Uh-Oa!
Churros are my weakness, and no trip is complete without a fudge sundae at Ghirardelli in Disney Springs. October is my go-to Disney month, but school vacations often lead me back in April. I am always dreaming of when I will be back to riding the Monorail!

Travel Planner
A close tie to my love of traveling, is my love of being an educator! I've spent the last decade as a middle school special education teacher, enriching the lives of military children from around the world. Additionally, I am also Team Leader, responsible for leading and supporting my team while adding flair and creativity to engaging community activities for our students!
I love challenging myself creatively by designing and making shirts for all different occasions (including every trip) and hand painting shoes for myself and family members!
Before joining with PDP, I have been to Disney almost (thanks Covid) every year of my life since I was born! As an adult once a year is never enough for me, so you may find me booking extra trips when I can :)
-THE BAKERS
"Planning a trip to Disney World can feel very daunting, but with Michelle’s expertise and guidance I was able to make the best choices for the experience our family was looking for. She helped me select our resort, made sure I understood all the transportation systems, and gave excellent tips and advice for how to use all the systems on the Disney app. Her knowledge of the parks and the resorts is unparalleled and helped us to find experiences we might have missed otherwise, made it so that we didn’t miss out on any of our priorities and even answered questions that came up during our trip! If you want a stress-free and seamless trip to Disney World, where you can really enjoy the magic of Disney, you should let Michelle handle all the details."
