About Me

I seek adventure and devour books like my favorite princess, Belle. I believe this has led me to my career path as a high school English teacher and my unofficial status as Disney trivia master. After all, I love words, stories, fantasy, and characters. My husband and I are parents to two thrill-seeking teenagers who have lived a life influenced by Disney magic; visiting the Walt Disney World Resort has been the source of many magical memories for our family - my favorite of which was swapping gumbo recipes with Princess Tiana!

About My Family

I'm a wife and mom, but I am also a daughter, sister, aunt, and nanny! The Disney love runs deep in all of us and some of my best memories have been on multigenerational trips where we have all been able to share the magic together!

For my family, visiting the Walt Disney World Resort is not just a vacation, it's an experience. From fighting off villains, building droids, and catching up with our favorite characters, we look forward to our time in the parks to reconnect, have fun, and explore the magic we know awaits all of us in our happy home away from home!

My girls have become thrill-seekers, expert park navigators, and they know exactly the right time to mobile order a Dole Whip. They can also smell a popcorn cart a mile away (no worries, we always get the souvenir bucket!), and my husband almost always says yes to an anniversary trip to EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival or a few magical date night hours at Magic Kingdom Park.

About My Disney Experience

Growing up, my family visited the Walt Disney World Resort annually to escape the chaos of our city's Mardi Gras. In fact, my mom still loves to share the story of three-year-old me who cried through her first Disney parade because they didn't throw a single bead! Luckily, I've come to learn the magic of a Disney vacation far exceeds those plastic pearls!

I've continued to visit the Walt Disney World Resort through all stages of my life - from a newlywed on her honeymoon, to a preschool mom, a toddler mom, and now as a mom of two teenagers, I have watched my girls grow up in the parks. Our vacations have evolved from princess twirling and Jedi fighting to thrill seeking, but we have never outgrown the magic of the Walt Disney World Resort!

I still get goosebumps watching fireworks over Cinderella Castle or thinking of the times we have all been a part of the magic - ask me about the time I was an extra in the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular or ask my kids about the time their pawpaw was the apple of someone's eye at the Hoop Dee Doo Musical Revue!
