About Me
Hey Y'all! I'm Ashley, an Air Force brat who has lived all over the world. Currently, I "go big and go home" to Haslet, Texas. Even though I moved a lot, I was able to make amazing friends thanks to Disney. No matter where you go, there are Disney fans! I love that I have the opportunity to share my love of Disney Parks with all of you. You can find me having impromptu dance parties when I'm not watching Disney movies with my children or doing lightsaber training in my living room while we enjoy Disney Parks-inspired snacks.
About My Family
I am a proud Air Force kid (both of my parents are veterans), big sister, and mom. When I was in grad school getting my doctorate, I met my Prince Charming. We took our first Disney trip together in 2013 and have been each other's Disney buddies ever since. I'm proud to say that I took a "not that interested in Disney" guy and turned him into a park-hopping, Disney+ watching, and advanced dining reservation guru. Together we have figured out the best way to explore the Most Magical Place on Earth on a limited budget and still have incredible vacations. As parents (and godparents), we have passed along the magic and made many core memories as a family at Disney Parks. We've done everything from baby moons to adult-only trips and park hopping with an infant to coordinating multi-generational trips. I firmly believe that all it takes is a little "faith, trust,..." and a whole lot of time management to have the vacation of your dreams.
About My Disney Experience
Since my dad brought home my very first Disney VHS, I was hooked on the magic! To me, there is nothing more powerful and transformative than a Disney story. I’ve seen the magic come alive at Walt Disney World Resort, and you will too! I still have pictures of me at the 25th Anniversary celebration, and the photos of my little princess celebrating the 50th Anniversary are some of my most treasured mementos. My favorite memories in the park are riding rides with my brother when we were little and watching fireworks on a rainy night on Main Street, U.S.A. with the love of my life. Every time I hear a Disney song or step inside the gates, I can’t help but grin from ear to ear. The magic of Disney never gets old, and I love that I get to share that with my two little Mouseketeers. I am so excited to help you create memories that will last a lifetime with your loved ones at the most Magical Place on Earth!
