Hi, I’m Jymmye!

Based in Lafayette, Louisiana
Walt Disney World Specialist
Disney Cruise Line Specialist
I was born and raised in Lafayette, Louisiana, and have a 14-year-old daughter named Ruthie. I have been a Disney Travel Agent with Everything Mickey Vacations since 2018. I’ve been a graphic designer and production assistant with SCP Health full-time for a little over 4 years. In my spare time, I love crafting, and because of that, you can count on all of us having matching/coordinating shirts for our Disney vacations.
I have always had a love for all things Disney and since my daughter came around, we are both obsessed. Along with my mom, we have been to Disney World 6 times since 2008, took our first Disney cruise in Feb 2020, and one day soon we hope to make it out to Disneyland.
Disney World is my favorite place, though I don't think there is just one reason why. I love the atmosphere, the magic, the food, the characters, the resorts, and the cast members. I feel like it’s my home away from home and if I could visit every year I would.
I learned so much on our first Disney Cruise because it was a completely different vacation. It is truly a vacation for every age – you rest, relax, and eat. I had so much fun that I even broke my heel while on the cruise. I got to visit the Health Unit and they took top-notch care of me while I was on that ship. I hope no one ever breaks a bone on their cruise... but if you do, I am here!
Favorite Disney movie
The Little Mermaid
Favorite Disney character
Ariel
Favorite Disney song
‘Almost There’ from Princess and the Frog
Favorite Disney Destination
Walt Disney World Resort - It has such a variety of things for the family, and who doesn’t love the hustle of going park to park?
Favorite Disney snack
Dole Whip, Mickey Pretzel, Popcorn, Gaston's Cinnamon Rolls, and churros, are just a few of my favorites
My idea of the perfect Disney vacation
My perfect Disney vacation would be 4 days on Disney Cruise Line then dock in Florida and spend 4 days at the Disney Parks. A Split vacation would give you the best of both worlds. A little relaxation and a little thrill.
What I love about being a Disney Vacation Planner
My favorite thing about being a Disney Vacation planner is getting to plan dream vacations for my clients. I get to give them all my knowledge and live through their dreams as they visit the happiest place on earth. I always seem to learn something new with each client that I help.
