About Me
Greetings from New Jersey! I have been fortunate to embark on countless adventures during my life—travel, marriage, motherhood, graduate school, post-doctoral work, teaching, college counseling—but one of the highlights has definitely been my role as a planDisney panelist! Nothing makes me happier than helping friends plan life-changing Disney vacations. I'm a voracious consumer of information about the evolution of the Disney Parks and I am positively giddy at the prospect of sharing what I have learned to benefit others. Although I visit the Walt Disney World Resort frequently, I pride myself on finding new experiences on every trip. I will always be inspired by the endless creativity, excitement, and history awaiting guests as they travel with Disney.
About My Family
My husband and I started our marriage off right with a honeymoon at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. He purchased me a Disney Vacation Club Membership at Boulder Ridge Villas as a surprise for my 40th birthday. Since then we visit our "home away from home" annually. We celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary on a magical Adventures by Disney trip to Germany. After that first experience, we were hooked! We have since explored Peru, Italy, the Mediterranean, and the Baltic with Adventures by Disney. As with all of our Disney trips, we were ecstatic to take our teenage son along on our adventures. An avid baseball player and musician, he looks forward to his Walt Disney World vacations as much as his Disney-obsessed mother.
