About Me
I am a mom to three very active Disney loving children. I am also an Oncology Nurse from Buffalo New York! My experience working with cancer patients has taught me to face every situation life throws my way with a positive attitude because life is precious. I am the “go to” planner for my friends and family Disney planning needs. Nothing makes me happier than helping others create magic. My love of all things Disney grants me and so many of the people I interact with an escape from reality. A visit to the Walt Disney World Resort allows me to dream big and forget about the worries of the world even if just for a little bit! From sharing magical memories, tips and tricks to helping you navigate the Walt Disney World resort, and even planning trips for first timers, I can’t wait to help you discover the magic!
About My Family
My husband and I share a mutual love – okay, maybe obsession – for all things Disney. We have been blessed with three beautiful children who each remind us of various Disney movie characters. Johnny, our 9-year-old, is similar to “Rapunzel’s” Flynn Rider; he is extremely charming and a bit of a rebel but has a heart of gold. Our 8-year-old Sophia is much like “Frozen’s” Anna; she is free-spirited, eccentric, and always putting her siblings before herself. Alexandria, our 6-year-old, is just like Merida from “Brave.” She is bold, stubborn, loud, and rebellious; I am sure that she will move mountains someday. Walt Disney World is a place where my family can come together to create memories to last a lifetime, and watch our dreams come true.
About My Disney Experience
I first visited Walt Disney World as a young teenager and remember being awestruck the first time that I saw Cinderella Castle. On that vacation, I only had the opportunity to visit Magic Kingdom Park for just one day. I remember not wanting to leave. I didn’t return until I was 19 years old for my first official multigenerational family vacation. That trip was really where my love of Disney exploded. Since then I have traveled countless times to the Walt Disney World Resort with my own family. I also love to take solo trips as well as trips with my adult friends and fellow panelists. We also love sailing the high seas with Disney Cruise Line. I have a special needs Mouseketeer as well as a child with food allergies so I have become an expert on successfully navigating the parks with these special needs in mind. I will never forget seeing the look on my children’s faces the first time they met Mickey Mouse or experiencing their first haircut at the Harmony Barber Shop. There is something so magical about being surrounded by smiling faces and watching your family having the time of their lives at the Walt Disney World Resort.
