Bio 

Elaina Fischer is living her own Louisiana fairytale as the Business Development Manager for Disney Destinations. Her Disney career began in 2010 when she became an Entertainment Intern and the LSU Campus Representative for the Disney College Program. She left Disney after graduating, working in sales across the oil, gas, and medical device industries, before returning to Disney Destinations in 2019. 

Passionate about Disney magic, Fischer spent her career in the travel industry developing travel professionals with virtual training, weekly calls, sales incentives, in-person events and more. 

Elaina Mitchell Fischer is 36 years old.

"Being chosen as part of TravelPulse’s 40 Under 40 is an incredible honor,” said Mitchell Fischer. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to work with so many people, both at Disney and through our travel agency partners, who are willing to try new things, challenge me to be better, and, most importantly, find more ways for people to experience the magic of Disney Destinations.

“This recognition isn’t just a moment to reflect on the hard work that’s been done; it’s momentum to, as Walt Disney would say, “keep moving forward.” I’m proud to be part of this group and grateful to TravelPulse for the recognition. It’s one I’ll never forget."

She consistently leverages data, business planning, and practical growth strategies to help agency partners identify opportunities and achieve measurable business results. 

“Her innovative thinking is evident in the engaging trainings, sales programs, and creative tools she develops, all designed to inspire advisors to think differently,” continued Sharp. “Beyond her territory, Elaina is a respected voice within the industry, regularly presenting at conferences and trade events while building meaningful partnerships that strengthen the broader travel advisor community.
