About Me

Hey, y'all! I'm a Disney-loving wife, mom and Physical Therapist, and when I'm not working with my extraordinary patients, you can find me having family living room dance parties, sipping coffee or a margarita on my front porch, or planning our next magical Disney vacation. Everyone who knows me knows that I am a Disney superfan, and it's a crown that I proudly wear. There is no shame in my Disney game, and I love sporting Disney bags, jewelry and apparel 365 days per year.

 

One of my favorite things to do on a Disney vacation is explore the amenities, details, storytelling and magic within my Walt Disney World Resort Hotel. At home, one of my favorite things to do is host parties and get-togethers, so let's get this planning party started! I'm thrilled to have you as a guest and serve you as a 2025 planDisney panelist. 

About My Family

My family consists of two proud moms and a kind-hearted, book-loving, thrill-seeking theater kid. We are a loving little trio of Disney besties. In fact, we call ourselves "The Three Caballeros," because "no matter where he goes, the one, two, and three goes; we're always together." We love big, play hard, and believe in magic and the power of imagination. We love spending time reminiscing about our past Disney vacations and getting excited about our next magical adventure together. 

 

I am lucky in love and have the world's greatest wife, who loves Disney almost as much as I do. Almost. We were happily married in New York City in 2012, joyfully became parents in 2013, and excitedly became Disney Vacation Club Members and Walt Disney World Annual Passholders in 2015. Every day, our love for each other and this pixie-dusted life grows. 

About My Disney Experience

My wife and I took our daughter on her first trip to Walt Disney World Resort when she was only 10 months old. People had told us that she was too young to appreciate it, but boy, were they wrong! She absolutely beamed, and her eyes twinkled in awe. She reached out to every character she saw, squealed with excitement, and twirled her little hands and feet with delight. Seeing the magic through her little eyes brought tears to mine, and like a bolt out of the blue, I was hooked. My wife and I were enchanted, and we knew that we wanted to return to the magic time and time again. Our Disney Vacation Club Membership has made that dream a reality for us, and we return to the Most Magical Place on Earth four times per year. 

 

Walt Disney said, "We believed in our idea - a family park where parents and children could have fun, together," and that is exactly what Walt Disney World Resort is to my family. Our Disney Vacation Club Membership is our guarantee that our next magical Disney vacation is always just around the riverbend, and I can't wait for the next adventure!
