Stacey Wild (Tennessee) – Travel Consultant Specializing in Disney Vacations 
My friends call me “the crazy Disney lady.” My 1st trip to Disney was a week after Walt Disney World opened in 1971 (when a friendly armadillo came and visited us in our tent at Fort Wilderness!), and I’ve returned over 20 times since – as a child, as a newlywed, with an infant, travelling with toddlers, tweens, teens, young adults, and senior citizens, to visit my daughter while she participated in the Disney College Program, on a solo trip after I finished my MBA, and, most recently, to celebrate our 28th wedding anniversary. I have enough Magic bands that I use them as garland on my Christmas tree!
With a family of 6, budget and time spent waiting in lines are primary concerns for me, and I specialize in planning affordable Disney trips and helping create daily itineraries to ensure families spend quality time together. I’m a College of Disney Knowledge Graduate, and there are few Disney properties, restaurants, festivals, or special amenities I haven’t personally experienced.
I love sharing my knowledge to help plan the perfect Disney vacation tailored to each family’s specific needs – whether it’s a trip to the World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or an adventure of a lifetime traveling with Disney for a weekend getaway or for several weeks to cities and countries in any of 6 continents. Let me help you plan your perfect Disney getaway today by contacting me at Stacey@PenyakTravel.com.
