About Me
Hi there! I’m Kriss, a wife, mom of two mini Mouseketeers, and lifelong Orange County local. The Disneyland Resort has been my happy place since childhood. As Magic Key holders who live a short drive from the parks, my family and I visit as often as weekly. By day, I work in the transportation industry, so I’m no stranger to buses, trains, and the adventure of getting from here to there. On any given day, you might find me reading, trying new plant-based foods, taking photos, and spending time with my kiddos. Learning about the history of Disney Parks and the people who helped Walt Disney bring his dreams to life is one of my favorite ways to pass the time. You’ve got a friend in me to help make your Disney vacation dreams come true.
About My Family
I found the Mickey to my Minnie in college, and we’ve been happily married for more than a decade. After some big trips (including a visit to Tokyo DisneySea in 2017) we’ve entered our Parent Era, sharing our love of Disney with our two little princesses, ages 3 and 6. Our weeks are full between work, school, gymnastics, and general life, but we look forward to the days we spend together at our happy place. To my delight, I’ve found that the Disneyland Resort has cultivated our kids’ sense of adventure. My youngest used to be scared of carousels, but now asks to go on Space Mountain and other thrilling attractions! And my oldest daughter looks forward to trying new foods with each visit. A constant of course, is the Dole Whips we share.
About My Disney Experience
Disney has always been part of my story. Growing up, my sister and I would dance around the living room as Disney Sing-Along songs played on repeat. I had a pink Minnie Mouse skirt that I wanted to wear everyday and a well-loved collection of princess dolls. The night before a Disneyland visit felt like Christmas Eve. Now, as a parent, I’m thrilled to share Disney experiences with my kids. My heart soars seeing them experience magical moments like giving a big hug to their favorite characters, going on “big kid rides” for the first time, and getting a heaping bucket of popcorn. It’s a dream come true and my pleasure to help other families create core memories, too.
