About Me
About My Family
My husband and I met in high school more than 25 years ago, and he's been the Carl to my Ellie ever since. We fully believe that "adventure is out there" and are raising our two fantastic kids to chase big dreams, knowing all the magic they need is already within them.
Once our Disney mode is fully activated, we love hitting the parks from rope drop to close, screaming our hearts out on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and eating as many Mickey pretzels, DOLE Whips, and Jack-Jack Cookie Num Nums as we can. When it's time for a break, you can catch us sampling the fare at one of the many Table Service restaurants on property or splashing around at our resort's pool. Outside the parks, we love soaking up the sun at Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort and sinking our toes into the sand on Castaway Cay.
When we aren't counting down to our next Disney vacation, we love hiking local trails and exploring National Parks, enjoying a day at the beach, or relaxing at home with a cozy movie night. We love the arts and can often be found checking out a new exhibit in town or a local performance- be it our own musical theatre-loving children on stage, or a professional tour.
About My Disney Experience
As a child, I was lucky to visit Walt Disney World Resort a handful of times. I vividly remember learning to swim in Disney's Contemporary Resort pool (and the commemorative caricature made in celebration), just as fondly as I recall watching in amazement as the Monorail glided by. My parents still tease me about a clay dragon sculpture I accidentally destroyed back in our resort room one night, after my dad carefully carried it around EPCOT World Showcase for an entire day as it dried. The souvenir may not have survived, but the memories and classic 80's snapshots sure did.
Though Disney was always part of my life growing up, it wasn't until I took my own children on their first trip to Disneyland Resort that the magic really became part of me. I was hooked from that first magical moment in Cars Land and wanted to bottle the feelings of excitement and looks of absolute wonder in my children's eyes to enjoy every day.
We've alternated visits to Walt Disney World and Disneyland nearly every year since that first family trip in 2015, with a few Disney Cruise Line voyages thrown in for good measure! It's been my absolute joy to raise my kids on Disney magic, and as Disney Vacation Club members, we look forward to continued magical vacations for decades to come.
