HELLO! I am Melanie,

Nebraska, Disney Travel Agent

Hello! I’m Melanie, mom to a teenage son and a golden retriever puppy. I grew up in a military family, which gave me the opportunity to travel and experience different parts of the world before eventually settling in Papillion, Nebraska.

Throughout my life, I’ve loved everything Disney—the happiness, the wonder, the nostalgia, and the celebration that comes with every Disney experience. Simply put, Disney is my happy place. 
I’ve also always loved to plan. Whether it’s parties, events, or vacations, I’m the person who enjoys every detail—from the big picture down to the little things that make a trip extra special. I’ve planned every aspect of my family vacations for years, simply because I genuinely love it.
After returning from a Disney Cruise, I found myself with a line of coworkers asking about my experience, looking for tips and tricks, and wanting to know how I planned everything. And honestly? I could talk about Disney travel for hours! 
I kept hearing the same thing: “You should be a travel agent!”
So, I took their advice! 
I’m so excited to combine two things I love—Disney and planning—to help others create incredible vacations without having to take on all the work themselves.

From choosing the right destination and accommodations to building the perfect itinerary and helping with all those little details in between, I’m here to take the stress out of planning so you can focus on what really matters: having fun, making memories, and experiencing the magic.
I can’t wait to help you plan your next adventure!

As your travel advisor, I’m here to make vacation planning easier from start to finish! I can help you choose the right destination, resort, cruise, or vacation package based on your needs and budget, handle the booking details, and help you navigate the planning process along the way.
My goal is to take the stress and guesswork out of planning so you can spend less time worrying about the details and more time looking forward to your vacation!

I specialize in:

  • Walt Disney World Resort
  • Disneyland Resort
  • Disney Cruise Line
  • Universal Orlando Resort

Let Melanie, our Nebraska Disney Travel Agent help you plan your Dream Disney vacation with all her knowledge and dedication.

All Absolutely FREE to you!

SUSANNE HAYS

My love for Disney began when I was a young girl, and my parents took me to Disney with my brothers for a boy scout trip. During High School, I attended Benjamin Russell in Alexander City, AL, where I was a majorette in the band. We were given the opportunity to perform at Magic Kingdom during one of their parades, which was a dream come true and such an honor to have been chosen. Walt Disney’s vision was to dream, believe, dare, and do. I think this is still true today!

I began my travel experience at another home-based travel agency, where I learned about the travel business. During this time, my love for Disney and the magical experience Disney offered became the focus of my travel business.

The many years of experience in sales and the importance of customer service, loyalty, and dedication for every client to have a magical experience is when Fairytale Journeys, LLC was created. For the past 20 years, my family and I have visited Walt Disney World, Disney Cruise Line, and Aulani. I enjoy helping others plan their magical vacations to WDW. I give each client the personal service that they should have. I ensure everything is taken care of for their magical vacation from the beginning of the reservations to the end. That’s why it’s so important to book with a travel agent so that you can receive a personal touch on your vacation.

I am here to help my clients with dining reservations, itineraries, travel arrangements, and most of all, dedication to making sure that each of my clients receives the best price for their magical vacation!

I have an undergraduate degree in Fashion Merchandising and a Masters’s Degree in Elementary Education. I am married to Steve Hays from Huntsville, AL, and we have two boys, Wilson and Garren Hays.
