My name is Melissa Tyree. I grew up in Columbia, Tennessee and our family has recently moved back there after living in Georgia since 2004. Clay and I were high school sweethearts and married in 2002. I graduated from Freed-Hardeman University in December 2001 with a degree in Child and Family Studies. Clay is a high school math teacher and high school basketball coach. We have two children; a fifteen year old boy and an eleven year old girl. Since we have just moved back recently, we are still visiting the local congregations of the Lord’s church here in Maury County.

I stayed at home with our oldest child until he was two, and then I began working part time as a two year old preschool teacher. When my youngest started kindergarten in 2015, I gave up my job as a preschool teacher. Since then I have been working as a substitute teacher and also as a vacation planner for Keys to Dream Travel. It has been such a blessing to be able to provide a little extra income for my family and still have a flexible schedule doing a job that I love.
I enjoy traveling, family game and movie nights at home with my family, scrapbooking (especially vacations), reading, and spending time with friends. I am a third generation Disney enthusiast. I am told I get my Disney planning and budgeting skills from my grandmother. I traveled to Disney World for the first time when I was 6 years old with both sets of grandparents, my parents, and an aunt. I have made quite a few more trips since then, but the best has been experiencing Disney with my children! I love the excitement and anticipation that comes with planning a vacation!
Walt Disney World is my most frequented destination, however I have also enjoyed visiting Universal Orlando, Legoland, SeaWorld Orlando, and Discovery Cove as well. I have also recently sailed on my first Disney Cruise! I am looking forward to checking more destinations off my wish list! In addition to the destinations already mentioned, I can also book Disneyland, Adventures By Disney, Disney's Aulani Resort and Spa in Hawaii, Universal Hollywood, all SeaWorld and Busch Gardens locations, Sandals and Beaches Resorts, cabins in the Gatlinburg area, condos and beach homes in the Gulf Shores area, and vacation rental homes across the U.S.

The memories you make on a vacation will last a lifetime. It is such a blessing to have the opportunity to help others book, plan, and experience a memorable vacation! I am looking forward to helping you unlock your next adventure.
