As a former Walt Disney World Cast Member, I love helping families—especially multi-generational families—create unforgettable vacations and lasting memories together.

What My Clients Are Saying

A well-planned vacation speaks for itself—but my clients are happy to speak up too. Here are a few magical moments, in their own words:
The Jefferson Family

Meri helped us pull together a last-minute cruise aboard the Disney Wish! We had a wonderful time and highly recommend her guidance. She provided lots of helpful tips & advice to make our trip smooth. Thank you, Meri, for making this happen for our family!

Cheryl Motsenbocker

Meri did an AMAZING job helping plan a trip to Disneyland for my family of 22! She coordinated everything and we were left with just enjoying it all! Highly recommend!!!

Jeanne Metzger

I’ve been to Disney several times but this was our first trip using a travel agent. I will never plan another trip without Meri. She just made everything so easy and stress free. She gave us great advice. She was so patient with changes we needed to make. It was truly a magical week and we cannot begin to thank her enough!

The Whitten Family

Meri helped make our family trip truly magical! She got us reservations at all of our top choices, even during the very busy week of Thanksgiving, I couldn't believe it!! Meri is the best!!!

The Kos Family

After doing some research, we realized it was very time-consuming and overwhelming to plan a Disney trip so we contacted Meri. She immediately put us at ease and helped make the planning process simple and easy for our group of 15 people. She kept us organized, gave us many tips and tricks, and made sure we got to see and do everything on our wish list. Meri was able to add a promotion to our vacation package to ensure we got the best value for our dollar. She made all of our dining reservations, set up our transportation to and from the resort and gave us a printed park plan to help us navigate each park and maximize our time. We are so thankful for her expertise and definitely recommend using Meri for any of your Disney needs. We can't wait to have her plan our next trip!

Courtney Smith

10+ ⭐️’s for Meri Gallagher! She is the BEST Disney Travel Planner in the DFW area! She planned our Disney Cruise on Dream and did all the work for us! We just showed up and everything was just as explained and planned for us! All our additional excursions were planned with Meri and she got them booked for us so she does all the work! We will definitely book all our future Disney travel through Meri Gallagher! Thank you!!!

Christine Sasser

Meri is one of a kind, top notch, most attentive agent I’ve ever worked with! Do not take a trip to WDW or a Disney cruise unless she has sprinkled her magic on it! Traveling solo with my kids on a cruise for the first time was a bit overwhelming. A lot of details where cruising is concerned. Working with Meri though made the experience easily embraced. Her high level of communication made the detail easily digestible. Her concierge service made the experience so much sweeter. And she even answered all of my kids questions, with videos & photos!!! From checking up on us while at sea to the expert and inside tips which added to our magic, it was hands down the most amazing trip ever!!! 🥳 Love you to pieces Meri…anyone would be nuts to book solo and not let you guide them!
