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.

Valerie Palmer (New Jersey) – Travel Consultant
Hi I’m Valerie! My passion for travel began when I was just a teen. Growing up, my family used to be summer cruisers. I’ve been on 11 different cruises all over the Carribean. This repeated exposure to leisure travel early on in my life led to a strong passion for travel in general. I graduated from Johnson and Wales with my bachelors degree in Hospitality & Tourism Management and have continued to travel on my own agenda. I’ve always had a constant itch to visit somewhere new and experience different cultures. I truly love it all – from hiking my way through a National Park, to walking off croissants in France. And… of course, sitting my behind in the sand, listening to some steel drum tunes, and gazing out at the beautiful blue water.
Some of my all time favorite travel experiences include: my honeymoon on the beautiful island of Grenada, rainbows in Maui, hiking Angel’s Landing in Zion National Park, the crisp waters of Lake Tahoe, champagne on ice in Germany, and floating in the cenotes of Mexico.
Aside from travel, I enjoy spending time outside, drinking herbal tea, and watching movies. But if you ask my husband what I spend most of my time doing, he will tell you I’m always “researching”. Nine times out of ten, you can find me on my laptop deep down a rabbit hole reading about anything and everything related to geography and travel. Typically I do this out of my own personal interest (you know, building up my bucket list locations) but I would much rather put some real purpose behind my hours of scrolling. I would LOVE to help you build the itinerary of your dreams!

George Penyak – Co-Owner
I truly believe that travel is an essential part of living. So much personal growth comes from exploring the world, meeting new people, and understanding new cultures. In the grand scheme of things, we really are one world and one people. As individuals we need to do what we can to become more rounded and diversified. This is one of my core beliefs and one of the main reasons Janet and I are so passionate about travel and why we are building this tremendous company – to help others get more out of life and find their passion for travel and exploration!
