About Me
I'm Kaitlin, a former registered nurse and a current stay-at-home mom from Northern Indiana. While my days are often filled with car drop-offs, helping with schoolwork, and lightsaber battles with my boys, I am always planning another Walt Disney World vacation. I have been dubbed the "Snack Expert" of my Disney travel party and I take that title very seriously! In my spare time, I enjoy training for my next runDisney race, reading, and binge watching the newest series on Disney+!
About My Family
My husband and I are college sweethearts and started our happily ever after with a Disney Fairy Tale Wedding! We are parents to two boys and a dog. We've loved watching our boys grow and experience new things at Walt Disney World Resort. Before each trip we mark their heights on the wall and measure to see what attractions they've grown tall enough to ride. As my oldest son grows he has become quite the thrill seeker and will ride Expedition Everest again and again! While my youngest isn't tall enough for that yet, he enjoys Disney snacks as much as I do and is always willing to share a DOLE whip with his mom.
About My Disney Experience
My family has had some incredible Disney experiences. My husband and I each grew up visiting Walt Disney World Resort. We got engaged in the Magic Kingdom, and when it came time to tie the knot a Disney Fairy Tale Wedding was the obvious choice! Since starting our family, we love taking our kids to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and on Disney Cruise Line. We enjoy taking trips with our parents so each generation can experience the magic together, and occasionally my husband and I will take adults-only trips. We frequently visit during runDisney race weekends as my husband and I love running together. In 2022, we even completed the Dopey Challenge during Marathon Weekend! From first haircuts at Harmony Barbershop to Capture Your Moment photo sessions, we are always looking for the next way to make magical memories with our family.
