About My Disney Experience
My first trip to the Walt Disney World Resort was as an infant, and I have continued to visit "The Most Magical Place on Earth" during every phase of my life!
One of my fondest childhood memories was watching the Main Street Electrical Parade in Magic Kingdom Park with my mom and two brothers. We would stake out a viewing spot on Main Street, U.S.A. and eat hotdogs from Casey's Corner as we waited on the curb for the parade to start. When the parade music would begin, my mom always started to cry and I could never understand how she could be crying during our favorite family tradition! I couldn't wait to begin the same parade tradition with our sons when we planned our first family visit to the Walt Disney World Resort. Our first evening in Magic Kingdom Park, we found the perfect parade spot, my husband went to get Casey's Corner hotdogs, and I waited patiently with our precious princes until the lights dimmed. As the first notes began playing, I felt hot, fast tears running down my face. I finally understood why my mom had been crying during all those parades! In that moment when the music swelled and I saw the anticipation and joy on my children's faces, I discovered what a privilege and gift it is to share such perfect Disney memories with those whom you treasure the most.
One of my favorite things about a Walt Disney World Resort vacation is that you never have the same experience twice! My family and I have a tradition of saying "hello" to Mickey Mouse at Chef Mickey's on our first day of vacation and saying "good-bye" to him at Town Square Theater on our last day before heading home. Even though this is a tradition we keep each year, every interaction is special and unique in its own way! Those and so many other magical experiences we've shared at the Walt Disney World Resort are forever etched on our hearts. As a member of planDisney, I'm so thrilled to be helping Guests create their own priceless Disney memories!
