Hi! My name is Kerri Epling, and since 2001, my husband, Jeremy, and I have made our home in the beautiful hills and mountains of East Tennessee. We are homeschooling parents of two Disney-loving teenagers, and we have visited Disney World with them several times over the years. Taking vacations together is one of our favorite ways to make memories, and we are constantly looking for new places to visit and new things to experience. Jeremy and I have traveled all over Europe together, and our family has visited many sites in the United States. We especially love historical places, locations with beautiful natural scenery, and, of course, theme parks. We have made great memories in Williamsburg, Charleston, Atlanta, Natural Tunnel, Orlando, Pigeon Forge, Yellowstone/Grand Teton, Mount Rushmore, and Rocky Mountain National Park, to name a few.

Vacation dreams are not the same for everyone. One of my favorite things about being a travel planner is being able to customize each vacation so that every family’s experience is personalized and made just for them. I love finding out what makes traveling enjoyable for YOU and making sure your vacation includes more of those things. I also have a lot of experience planning budget vacations and am dedicated to getting you the most magic for the best price. My husband and I have taken multiple short vacations just the two of us to recharge and reconnect, and I am confident I can help you plan an amazing couples’ vacation in addition to trips for the whole family.

In addition to all things Disney (Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, Adventures by Disney, Disneyland Paris, etc.), I can plan vacations for Universal Studios, Sea World, cabins in the Smoky Mountains, Royal Caribbean, and more! If you have a dream to travel, I can help you get there!

When you book with me, you can Book with Confidence, knowing that I have been trained in helping you travel as safely as possible, even during uncertain times. I have completed multiple travel specialist education opportunities, and I am continually renewing my knowledge and qualifications. Our agency is truly a team, and we all work together to ensure all Keys to Dream Travel clients have the best possible experiences. My goal as a travel planner is to treat each vacation like my own. My services are completely FREE to you, and I am dedicated to getting you the most magic for the best value no matter where your travel takes you!

Client Testimonials

​Thank you Kerri!!!
You are amazing and I will always come to you for all my travel dreams. When all our trip were cancelled last year, you helped us to get all our money back and reassured us that we would be able to travel again when it was safe. Then in
October you got us into the best hotel, The Grand Floridian at Disney, at such a discount; after having a non-traveling year you helped us to get back to going again. I have told so many people about you and know that I can with confidence send them to you because they will be taken care of.
Thank you

Awesome and trustworthy people to work with!!!  -B. Haywood

Kerri was extremely helpful in planning our trip! She answered countless questions, even while we were at Disney, and helped make changes in reservations multiple times. She also made us aware of promos to help save money! Kerri also has lots of tips and “inside information” to share.  -Dr. Megan Johnson

Kerri is excellent! She really knows her stuff and spends so much time answering every last question. And it’s not just for booking - she tells you where to go and what to see while you’re at the parks to get the most magic out of your trip. It’s clear that she really cares about you and your crew having the best time possible for the best price!
