About Me
Hi there, I'm Jackie. A wife, mother and a Disney popcorn bucket and souvenir cup collector! I love living at the beach but being close enough to hop in the car and head to Walt Disney World at any moment - it's only an 8 hour drive. Some of my Disney favorites include Mickey waffles by the pool (preferably at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort), dinner at Disney Springs and filling up the latest refillable popcorn bucket in the the Parks with that golden, buttery goodness while bouncing from attraction to attraction. Traveling is my number one passion and I hope to see as much of the world with my family as possible but I love my monthly visits to Walt Disney World because it just feels like home.
About My Family
I have a really fun family and they love Walt Disney World as much as I do. I married my high school crush on Mickey Mouse's birthday, Nov. 18, and we love celebrating with the Big Cheese! We have one daughter, age 13, and she's the best mix of all the Disney Princesses. She's curious like Rapunzel, strong willed like Merida, adventurous like Belle and hardworking in everything she does like Tiana. Being a homeschooling family, we are fascinated with all the learning opportunities to be had at Walt Disney World. Our schedules are very flexible and more often than not, we are hopping in the car for a weekend getaway to explore what's new at our favorite place, Walt Disney World.
About My Disney Experience
I've been visiting Walt Disney World since I was a small child. Now, I have the honor of vacationing with my very own family! Being Annual Passholders, we travel to the Walt Disney World Resort at least once a month and each trip is so different and exciting! We have vacationed on all different budget levels and have enjoyed top-notch experiences every time. Celebrating at Walt Disney World is my favorite thing to do. Birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and "just because" days are a great time to visit the parks! My family and I are huge foodies and dining at Disney is a fun part of our Walt Disney World vacation experience. Whether you are traveling to the Walt Disney World Resort for the first time or the tenth, with 3 people or 13, I have some great advice that will help you have a magical and memorable vacation.
