Meet Jenna Mitchell!

If you told me a few years ago that I would be a mom who travels often with my young child, there is no way I would have believed you. I was the “stick to a well-established system at all costs mom”, not a “go with the flow and adjust mom”. I would have had questions about routine and packing and surviving the flights. I would have had doubts that it was worth the stress. I definitely wouldn’t have believed you if you told me that now when we have travel approaching, there is more excitement than there is stress. 

Everything changed when we took our daughter on her first Disney Cruise Line trip. As much as we prioritize connecting day to day, there’s something about a vacation designed with families in mind that really allowed that connection to happen on another level. For the rest of my life, I’ll remember her shriek of sheer unedited joy and excitement at seeing characters emerge onstage, and remember the evening we watched the sunset over the water as a family while she played in the splash pad. I’ve been a Disney fan my whole life, but experiencing a Disney Destinations trip as a mom was an entirely different magic.  

When I got home, I had a new mission. I knew I wanted to make travel a priority for my family. I realized how much it matters. Before long, that turned into realizing I wanted to help other families feel confident in travelling together. In my work as a travel advisor, I now get to help make travel supported and as stress-free-as-possible for the families I work with. I get to help families with all the details, so they can focus on making the memories.
