About Me
¡Saludos, Amigos! Greetings from Mexico City, Mexico. I'm a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations, and I have a true passion for history and all things Disney. In fact, I wrote my thesis about Disney and its impact on U.S. society and politics during the 20th century, and I used the Disney Parks as my main inspiration for it! As an internationalist, my favorite park is EPCOT–obviously. Of course, I stand by the fact that everyone should begin their World Showcase adventures in the Mexico pavilion! I love to sing, hang out with my dogs, listen to Disney music, read, and watch Frozen on repeat. I am also an English teacher, and I love surprising my students with pixie dusted lessons and warm hugs whenever I can! I am thrilled and excited to share my knowledge about the Walt Disney World Resort–in English and Spanish–with you. Warm hugs!
About My Family
As Olaf would say, some people are worth melting for. In my case, those people are my brother, my parents, my grandparents, and my husband. I have had the privilege of experiencing the magic of the Walt Disney World Resort with all of them, which has made every trip different and practically perfect in every way. I love goofing around on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover with my brother, saving the galaxy on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind with my dad, singing along to ‘Yo, Ho! (A Pirate’s Life for Me)’ with my mom, riding the Walt Disney World Railroad and walking through the World Showcase with my grandparents, and watching the fireworks at the end of each day with my husband, who truly is the Kristoff to my Anna. I would go into the unknown for any of them if I had to!
About My Disney Experience
The first time I ever walked through the gates at Magic Kingdom Park, it was in January 1999–I was only two years old. My dad held me up while my mom filmed my reaction. As she zoomed into my face, I said “Mommy, I want to go to the castle”, and that was it for me. Since then, I have been lucky enough to visit the Walt Disney World Resort year after year as a guest (and even as a Disney Springs Cast Member in 2019!), which is why I have loved watching it grow into what it is today–especially EPCOT! EPCOT has always been my family’s favorite park because we all love science, technology, culture, food, and history, so I truly aim to make other people fall in love with it as much as I have. All in all, the Walt Disney World Resort isn’t my “home away from home”. It is just home.
