Travel Agent specializing in all Disney Adventures

Hi! My name is Mike Ellis, and I am a Travel Consultant with Pixie Vacations! I've been a Pixie for over ten years now, and have all the experience needed to help you have an incredible vacation! In addition to working for Pixie Vacations, I also run my own technology business -- which is very handy when trying to navigate some of the tech issues that we run into from time to time! You can find me all over the Internet at various website. My OG site was started before I became a travel agent. It's called My Dreams of Disney and can you believe I started the site just as a way to keep a digital memory of our past trips to Disney? Look where we are now! In addition, I also have Go Beyond the World for non-Disney writing. You can also find me at Pixie Vacations by Mike, which is my business site. Lastly, my daughter Sophie and I and our friend Brenda host a podcast called On the Road with Mickey. We're in our fourth year now, and you can find us on all of the podcast platforms, as well as in video form at our YouTube channel!

Before all of that, though, I was a kid who went to the Magic Kingdom for the first time when I turned 11 years old in 1979.  Since that time, I've grown up loving Disney Parks, Movies, Music, and all that goes with that, and I've now introduced my wife and daughter to the magic of Disney as well.

My philosophy with my clients is simple. It is my goal every single time to help my clients have the best Disney vacation possible, while at the same time saving them money along the way. I know firsthand how much it costs to go to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, on a Disney Cruise, or to Aulani or on an Adventures by Disney trip, so it is extremely important to me that my clients enjoy themselves and not stress of planning details, dining reservations, Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lane selections, or how much it's going to cost. For me, my slogan says it all: We are in the business of Making Memories for my clients, one vacation at a time.

Pixie Vacations is the best Travel Agency in the business, and if you select me as your travel agent, then you'll learn that I put my heart into my clients, each and every time out. Connect up with me, and let's get busy planning your next Disney vacation!

Client Testimonials

Pixie Vacations by Mike

Bonnie S. wrote: “Mike always impresses me with his knowledge of Disney Parks and vacations.  His fast responses make him my go-to agent when booking a trip to Disney, and his follow-up service — making sure I have everything I need and know what to do before I leave — means I cannot recommend Mike highly enough.  Thanks for your great work, Mike… I’ll be back!”

April K. wrote: This is our first time to go to Disney and I had a lot of questions for Mike. He was very kind, helpful, patient, and prompt when booking our vacation as well as answering any question I had big or small. I couldn’t have booked our vacation without his help. I will definitely use him again!<

We had a magical vacation we will never forget!

Mike was such a pleasure to work with. We surprised our children/grandchildren with a trip to Disney for Christmas and had not been in 10 years. So much had changed, but Mike made it so easy. I just told him what I wanted and he took care of everything. Any questions or concerns he answered immediately. We had a wonderful trip!

Our EPIC family vacation!
Reviewed By Scott - SAINT PETERS, Missouri | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Mike was great to work with. Easy to communicate with either by phone or via e-mail. Our trip was indeed EPIC, and I feel like Mike was integral in making that happen.

The whole process was simple, I called told him where we wanted to go, and gave him a budget. He gave me many options, with absolutely no pressure! In the end, I wound up upping my budget, but he was able to get us so much more value in our trip! I will use Pixievacations.com again for sure!
Mike Ellis responded
"Scott, thank you so much for the kind words. I'm glad that I was able to help make your trip a reality. Helping my clients make memories that will last a lifetime is one of the reasons that I became a travel agent, so knowing how much fun you had on your trip just makes it that much more worthwhile to me. Thanks, Scott, I look forward to helping you again in the future! Mike"
