My Story

For Kelly Bryan, Disney is far more than a destination; it’s a lifelong passion that has become a career dedicated to creating extraordinary vacations for others. A prolific world traveler, Kelly has explored more than 30 countries across five continents, including a four-month circumnavigation of the globe. Yet no matter where her travels have taken her, Disney has always held a special place in her heart. For more than 40 years, she has experienced Disney through every stage of life, from childhood vacations to traveling as a young adult, and now creating unforgettable memories with her own family.

Today, Kelly is recognized as one of the industry's leading luxury Disney travel specialists. She has logged thousands of hours exploring every corner of Disney destinations, continually researching, testing, and refining the very best strategies to ensure every client enjoys the most seamless, efficient, and memorable experience possible. She visits the domestic Disney parks every 4–6 weeks, constantly updating her proprietary touring plans and staying ahead of new attractions, dining experiences, entertainment, seasonal events, and operational changes.

Kelly's expertise is built on truly unmatched firsthand experience. She is a Platinum Castaway Club Member, Adventures by Disney Insider, and Walt Disney World Annual Passholder. She has personally stayed at every Walt Disney World® Resort hotel and every Disneyland® Resort hotel, sails Disney Cruise Line regularly, and has experienced Disney vacations from nearly every perspective imaginable. This unparalleled knowledge allows her to confidently recommend the right resort, itinerary, and experiences for every client.

While Kelly is known for planning magical vacations for families of all budgets, she has become especially sought after for her expertise in ultra-luxury Disney travel. From the most exclusive specialty suites and concierge accommodations to nearby luxury resorts including Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort, she designs elevated Disney experiences that blend Disney magic with world-class luxury. Whether arranging VIP Private Tours, premium dining, private transportation, exclusive experiences, luxury cruises, or seamless pre- and post-stay accommodations, Kelly personally handles every detail so her clients can simply arrive and enjoy.

As a Virtuoso Certified Travel Advisor and Certified Travel Associate, Kelly's services extend far beyond booking a hotel. Her clients benefit from insider knowledge, trusted industry relationships, and meticulous planning that transforms a great Disney vacation into an effortless, unforgettable experience.

Prior to becoming a full-time luxury travel advisor, Kelly earned a Master's degree in Educational Policy and Leadership from The Ohio State University and spent 12 years as an Intervention Specialist. Her background in education naturally complements her travel expertise, allowing her to anticipate her clients' needs, simplify complex planning, and thoughtfully guide families through every stage of the vacation planning process. She is especially passionate about making Disney destinations accessible and enjoyable for families with unique and special needs.

A Stage IV cancer survivor, Kelly understands that time together is life's greatest luxury. That perspective shapes every itinerary she creates. She believes the most meaningful investment anyone can make is in experiences shared with the people they love, and she considers it an incredible privilege to help families create those memories.

Kelly lives outside Cleveland, Ohio, with her husband and three children, where she continues to inspire travelers to experience Disney—and the world—with confidence, ease, and a touch of luxury.

“Kelly made our trip easy to plan and easy to enjoy.  She worked with us on all of our special requests, helped us make changes as it got closer, and even got our dinner reservations changed while we were there and changed our mind last minute.  Kelly is extremely knowledgeable and helpful.  And she’s detail-oriented.  We hope to use her services again for more travel! We highly recommend her!”

Amy Drapcho, Columbus, OH

“Kelly planned the most amazing trip to Disney for my son and me! Long before we were set to leave I felt as though I had nothing to worry about, she took the anxiety out of figuring out what to do and where do go. All of her recommendations were spot on from hotel, to restaurants, to rides. Kelly thank you so much for making my son’s first trip to Disney truly magical! I cannot wait until we can work together to plan our next trip back!”

Jordan Kreitz

“Wow! There are not enough words to thank Kelly for her amazing planning skills! Kelly did a phenomenal job planning our first Disney trip as a family.  Her attention to detail is impeccable… nothing was overlooked!  Our days were planned perfectly and we couldn’t have enjoyed our trip more!  I can not recommend Kelly and her services enough. Thank you so much Kelly!  We are already looking forward to planning our next Disney trip with you!”

Sarah Stark, Brighton, MI

“Just returned from an incredible Disney World experience, thanks to Kelly! Her guidance in planning our vacation was invaluable. She took the guess-work out of building an itinerary that maximized our time there. We even had other park-goers asking us how we knew some of the tips and tricks that she shared - things that helped make our time at Disney truly magical. We’d absolutely work with her again for our next Disney adventure. Thank you, Kelly!”

Natalie Ata, Avon Lake, OH

“With only 60 days notice, Kelly Bryan planned the perfect Disney vacation for my daughter and I. I simply told her we wanted “three magical princess-filled days” and she DELIVERED! I honestly never thought a Disney vacation could be relaxing, but she literally thought of everything. Every last detail was planned, and I was able to stay in the moment and enjoy time with my daughter. That in itself is priceless. Her communication was flawless and she even assisted with changing reservations while we were at the parks. She provided so many tips and tricks and I felt we were able to experience so much Disney magic as a result. You can tell Kelly loves her job because her enthusiasm for all things Disney was contagious!”
