Vacation dream maker Jackie Klemenc has all the insider tips and tricks to help you get the most out of your Disney cruise or vacation
By Patricia Nugent
There’s never been a better time to escape to any of Disney’s destinations.
Over the years, the resort has expanded and evolved to keep up with its audience, and today Disney World includes four theme parks, two water parks and 28 resorts spanning more than 40 square miles.
Meet vacation dream makerJackie Klemenc, a “magic memory maker for Bright Wishes Travel, specializing in all Disney destinations.” Based out of her home in Kirtland, Jackie works with people to craft their best possible vacation experience.
“I understand how overwhelming planning a trip to Disney can be,” Jackie says “With my background and training, I help alleviate all the stress and make the process fun, like it should be.”
The consultation starts with a “discovery” session to establish your vacation goals and parameters, whether you’re a family with younger kids, older children, a couple looking for a romantic getaway, or a group of friends.
“There’s no other vacation option quite like a Disney getaway,” she says. “These are memories you’ll have the rest of your life. There’s nothing like seeing your child’s eyes light up meeting a beloved character or feeling like they’ve jumped into a favorite movie through one of the amazing attractions.”
Disney Destinations include Disney World, Disney Cruise Line, Disneyland, Adventures by Disney, and Aulani Resort in Hawaii.
White Glove Service
Though Jackie grew up in Northeast Ohio, her family travelled frequently to Florida, and Disney World was always part of their plans. She has also visited other popular destinations such as Disneyland and has traveled on the newest cruise ship, Disney Wish.
“My clients say they enjoy my ‘white glove’ level of service and expertise,” she says.
Jackie’s travel services are complimentary, which makes working with her a no-brainer. “Every detail is taken care of and well organized. And one of my specialties is planning a Disney experience that fits your budget.”
Hitting the High Seas, Disney-Style
Voted “World’s Best” by the readers of Travel + Leisure magazine, Disney Cruises sail to enchanting destinations with musical entertainment, experiences with characters, and themed rooms and suites.
“People love all the special Disney touches when it comes to service and hospitality. The newest ship in the line, the Disney Wish, is already garnering rave reviews. It’s wonderful for families, as there are kids’ clubs, spas and adults-only dining so everyone can get the maximum enjoyment and much-needed ‘me-time.’”
Timing is Everything
When it comes to booking, Jackie says the more time she has to plan, the better the outcomes.
“In a perfect world, I recommend people plan their Disney experience about six months ahead of time,” she says. “But I can certainly plan a few months or weeks out as well. I’m booking clients now for their holiday trips. Due to Covid, there have been rapid changes with the parks opening back up, and I like to stay ahead of that and always educate my clients on what they can expect.”
