The Original Vacation Home Innovator by Disney

With over 25 years in the Disney-area market, I helped shape the vacation rental industry — from naming homes to creating the first themed game rooms. I transform ordinary properties into unforgettable, five-star guest experiences filled with Disney magic.

About Yvonne Kirby

With over 25 years of hands-on experience in the Disney-area vacation home market, I’m proud to say I helped shape the short-term rental industry as we know it today.

Where It All Began

Back in the 1990s, I founded my first company and introduced something revolutionary — naming vacation homes. My own vacation home was called “Cinderella’s Castle.” At the time, guests couldn’t even choose their home — they were randomly assigned a “four-bedroom home upon arrival.” I believed each property had its own story, and guests deserved to pick the exact home they fell in love with. That idea forever changed how Disney-area homes were marketed and booked.

The Birth of the Game Room

Soon after, my husband and I attended an arcade auction and bought a few pinball and video games, setting them up in a garage. No fancy décor — just fun. The guest response was overwhelming. That small experiment became an industry-defining innovation: the very first game room in a Disney-area vacation home. We transformed garages into themed entertainment spaces with flooring, murals, and lighting — and even added cinema rooms. Homes with game rooms booked faster, earned more, and soon inspired a wave of copycats across Orlando.

Building a Legacy

In 1999, I founded Loyalty Vacation Homes, proudly managing over 100 successful homes near Disney. My business turned into one of Central Florida’s most respected management companies. Our homes were consistently voted among the best in the industry for innovation, cleanliness, design, and guest satisfaction —Today, I manage a smaller, curated portfolio under my My Mickey Homes brand — each one uniquely themed, highly rated, and known for its creativity, warmth, and five-star guest experiences. I still have repeat guests return 25 years later.
