About Us
Who We Are & What We Do
You’d have to go a long way back to see where our Disney obsession began (we won’t say how long!), but the seeds of Key to the World Travel were planted when founders Jeff Williams and Heather Straight met on a cruise – Disney cruise, of course, the Disney Wonder. They both worked as travel planners for an agency specializing in Disney Destinations and became friends who enjoyed working together and traveling together with their families.
Their first agency was a great place to work, but they both dreamed of one day opening an agency they could build and shape into a place they would love to work. A place where all the agents can share their love of all things Disney and their passion for traveling, and, of course, a place where they can create unforgettable vacations for their valued guests.
Whether you’re taking your first trip to a Disney Destination or are a seasoned Disney fan, we aim to add some pixie dust to your vacation plans. We can help you find the perfect resort hotel, arrange your transportation, keep an eye out for promotions, make dining reservations, create personalized itineraries and much more to ensure that you share in the magic that Disney Destinations have always brought to our own family vacations.

So far, we’ve helped plan over 60,000 vacations.
Key to the World travel planners are all graduates of the College of Disney Knowledge and will work to customize the vacation that is perfect for your family, schedule, and budget.

We know everything there is to know about dining, tickets, recreation, attractions, special events, where to stay, and what to see.
We specialize in Disney Destinations because Disney is our first love, our passion and, let’s face it, our obsession! We’re the ones always wearing Mickey Mouse t-shirts, humming songs from Disney movies while we grocery shop, and planning our next Disney vacation while we cook dinner. We’ll talk Disney all day long and never tire of it! As lifelong Disney fans, we want to share every bit of the magic with you and your family.

Norton City Schools
She packed snack bags, ouch pouches, and theme park survival kits for 45 people going on our trip. She went above and beyond for our group. Alexis kept up with me daily to make sure all of our students were having an amazing trip. She gave me details about Universal to help students find the best places to eat, the best rides to get in line for early, and tips and tricks to navigate Universal. I've already used her to book my personal cruise and will be using her to book future trips.
