About Me
Hey there! I’m Melissa, your go-to travel advisor, and I’m here to turn your travel wishes into unforgettable adventures.
As a Florida native, Disney is part of our everyday magic. Juggling life as a busy Homeschooling Mama of 2 and a devoted wife, I understand the need for easy, stress-free options. I’m all about budget-conscious travel that doesn’t compromise on the magic.
My passion? Crafting multigenerational family events that make dreams a reality. From introducing your little ones to Mickey for the first time to creating cherished moments with grandparents on a Mediterranean Cruise, let’s make every journey a memory.
Join me on a budget-friendly adventure where stress takes a back seat, and dreams take center stage. Your next unforgettable escape awaits – let’s make it happen!

What my clients are saying
...
“I’ve never written a review before but I feel obligated to let everyone know about my experience with Melissa, and When You Wish Travel. The service provided was top notch. When I started trying to plan a trip to Disney for my family, I got lost. I called Melissa, told her what I was wanting to do. She gave me all my options. I was able to get everything set up without any pressure or stress. She made this a great experience, something i thought was going to be complicated, she made easy. I highly recommend Melissa for any and all travel planning needs. Thank you Melissa for all that you did and the happy memories you helped give my family!”

Planning Packages
Did you know most vacation destinations have a travel agency fee already built into the cost of your vacation? That’s right! You are likely already paying for a travel advisor and not using the service! The only way to make sure that your travel advisor gets the built in fee for your travel is to plan and book your trip through us!
You may be wondering, “What happens if I have already booked my travel and now I need help?” Great question! In some situations, we can transfer the booking into our agency and the agency fee will be directed to our agency saving you any additional cost. If your reservation is not able to be transferred, we do reserve the right to charge a non-refundable planning fee.
