Dream Vacations Franchise Owner | Travel Advisor | Vacation Planner
Travel isn't just my passion—it's my profession.
I'm Melissa Kleinschmidt, a Dream Vacations Franchise Owner and Full-Time Travel Advisor with more than 9 years of experience and thousands of vacations planned. I specialize in Disney vacations, Universal Parks vacations, cruise vacations, all-inclusive resorts, Caribbean and Mexico vacations, Europe vacations, Hawaii vacations, Alaska land and sea journeys, honeymoons, and multigenerational family travel.
My mission is simple: help travelers find the right vacation while handling every detail from start to finish.
Expert Vacation Planning Tailored to You
Planning a vacation today can feel overwhelming. With countless destinations, resorts, cruise lines, online reviews, and vacation packages available, knowing which option is right for your family can be challenging.
That's where I come in.
I take the time to understand your travel style, priorities, budget, and goals before recommending destinations, resorts, cruises, and experiences that fit your needs. Every vacation I plan is personalized because no two travelers are exactly alike.
Whether you're planning a Disney vacation, a Caribbean all-inclusive resort getaway, a European adventure, an Alaska cruise and land tour, a honeymoon, or a family vacation, my goal is to make the planning process simple, enjoyable, and stress-free.
My Specialty: Multigenerational Family Travel
One of the types of vacations I plan most often is multigenerational family travel.
Traveling with grandparents, parents, teenagers, and young children requires thoughtful planning and coordination. From selecting destinations with activities for every age group to coordinating accommodations, dining, transportation, and excursions, I handle the details so families can focus on spending quality time together.
My clients know they can trust me to make sure rooms are properly coordinated, special requests are communicated, and every member of the family has something to look forward to.
Why Work With a Travel Advisor?
Many travelers are surprised to learn that my vacation planning services are complimentary when they book their vacation through me.
Instead of spending hours researching options online, you'll receive personalized recommendations, destination expertise, and professional guidance throughout the planning process.
As a full-time Travel Advisor, I stay current on industry changes, destination updates, new resorts, cruise ships, promotions, and travel trends so my clients can make informed decisions and travel with confidence.
Experience You Can Trust
I don't just book travel—I experience it.
I regularly visit destinations, tour resorts, inspect cruise ships, participate in advanced supplier training, and maintain professional certifications to ensure my recommendations are based on real knowledge and current information.
My certifications and specialized training include Disney Destinations, Universal Parks & Resorts, Sandals Resorts, Beaches Resorts, Royal Caribbean Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Virgin Voyages, and leading vacation suppliers throughout the travel industry.
As part of Dream Vacations and World Travel Holdings, one of the largest travel retail networks in the world, I combine personalized service with the resources, relationships, and industry support of a global travel organization.
More Than a Booking
When you work with me, you're never just a reservation number.
Whether you're celebrating a milestone, planning a family reunion, booking a honeymoon, or checking a bucket-list destination off your list, I'm here to provide expert guidance, personalized service, and support before, during, and after your vacation.
