About Me
As a marketing professional and type-A planner, I thrive on logistics and details. Few things get me more excited than an Advance Dining Reservation at one of my favorite Disney restaurants, like Sanaa. I love arriving at Walt Disney World Resort knowing that I have taken care of all of the plans ahead of time, so all I need to do is put on my Minnie Mouse ear headband and soak in every minute!
Seeing Disney through my children’s eyes is one of my favorite parts of a Walt Disney World Resort vacation. I love holding their hands on thrill rides and pointing out Hidden Mickeys. You can always find us singing along with classic attractions, like Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress. Come on, everybody! “There’s a great big beautiful tomorrow…”
About My Family
My husband and I met during college, and while we were dating, I had the opportunity to travel with his family to Walt Disney World Resort! I still think about how much fun we had, getting to know each other while waiting for attractions, and making lifelong memories. Skipping and singing through the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights is one of my favorite holiday memories with my husband!
Since then, we’ve celebrated many major milestones together at Walt Disney World - our engagement, new jobs, precious babies, holidays, and birthdays. When we aren’t at The Most Magical Place on Earth, we’re on the soccer field with our boys, at ballet with our daughter, cheering on our alma mater in football, or playing with our Boston Terrier.
About My Disney Experience
I believe that purposeful planning creates space for magical moments that become meaningful memories. Planning ahead by researching attractions, schedules, transportation, and dining before my vacation, allows me to take it all in while I’m at Walt Disney World Resort. This isn’t to say life goes on hold when we’re on vacation! I might still get a little “hangry” and need some popcorn, and my kids might have a tantrum at an inconvenient place, but with everything else taken care of ahead of time, I can just be Mom. Magical moments happen when I least expect them, and being intentional about planning helps me stay in the moment, so we can make memories that will last for years to come.
