About Me
Besides collecting colorful Minnie ears and editing informative videos, I love taking photos of life's best moments and making memories with my Prince Charming and our mighty little Mouseketeer. Much like my favorite princess, I need adventure in the Great Wide Somewhere, so I've enjoyed visiting Disney parks in faraway places (my husband even proposed to me at Disneyland Paris!) I've also felt proud to participate in runDisney half marathons on each coast and each chateau. I've been a Disney bride, enjoyed the Disney adult life, and now I've finally become a Disney mom! As a work-from-home, nursing MamaBear, I love the flexibility I have to visit the resort with my tumbly Tigger toddler in tow.
About My Family
My parents' story, like Princess Tiana's, began down in New Orleans. But before I was born, they started their California Adventure and have been taking my brother, sister, and me to the Disneyland Resort ever since. So, you can find this Creole girl in New Orleans Square any day of the week! Growing up with siblings here at The Happiest Place on Earth and having cousins on the opposite coast who are regular guests at The Most Magical Place On Earth, my family and I have always shared a love for all things Disney. Nowadays, my cast of characters includes my Mr. Incredible and our lively little "Jack-Jack"!
About My Disney Experience
Disney has been a part of so many of my life's milestones that it always makes me think of the Happiest things. Growing up in Southern California, my siblings and I felt the sparkling delight and wonder of parades and meeting our favorite characters over the holidays. One summer, we even got to spend our birthdays living Fun and FancyFree on the Big Red Boat (who remembers that blast-from-the-past fleet?) cruising down the south Florida Keys. Fast forward to countless adults-only trips with my friends as annual passholders, which brought new surprises as well as filling us with nostalgia. When I spent time living in France, I became an annual passholder at Disneyland Paris. Finally, I met my One True Love and we have been enjoying our Happily Ever After Disney romance ever since. Now I get to enjoy this all over again as a Momma-lorian! I get to watch my little Grogu fall in love with the dazzling charms of the tastes, sounds, and sights at the Disneyland Resort, just as I did. The spirit of imagination lives on! I guess Disney is just a place where Dreams Comes True.
