About Me

Currently a stay-at-home mom, I am married to my high school prom date and am very active in my base community. I'm also that friend who will 'like' all of your Disney Parks vacation photos that you post on social media, and I will want to hear every little detail of your upcoming trip both before you leave and after you come home.

 

I absolutely love staying on top of the latest Disney Parks news, including new attractions, new snacks, and new events. I even keep a list in my phone between trips of what I can't miss next visit! 

About My Family

We recently returned to our home state of Texas after my husband's active duty military service ended. While living wherever the Air Force sent us, that included a two-year stint an hour away from Disneyland Resort! My son and I were those local passholders who popped into the parks for just a few hours a few times a week. While we miss being so close to the magic, we're all so very excited to catch up on all that we missed with our family and friends in the last decade. (And to also dine at our favorite barbecue and tex-mex restaurants.)

About My Disney Experience

My second visit ever to Disneyland Resort was in the summer of 2018, two weeks after the Air Force moved my family to SoCal. I was already a planDisney Panelist representing Walt Disney World Resort so I knew that we'd be getting Annual Passes. But due to the timing of our summer move, I couldn't find a preschool in our area with space for my son that fall so I said "I'll homeschool him at Disneyland." And that's exactly what we did. We'd visit at least twice a week and look for shapes and numbers in the various buildings and queues, read stories based on the various characters and attractions, sing along with the stage shows, draw at the Animation Academy, play with other kids in the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail, point out the colors in the ride vehicles and so much more. (Even his teachers now will comment about how patient he is, which I directly link to all the time we waited in lines.) I will forever treasure those memories with my mini Mickey!

 

When thinking about Walt Disney World Resort, most of our trips were planned with very short-notice; most famously is the visit after my husband returned home from his second deployment, of which we booked the Disney Resort Hotel the night before we left and purchased tickets at the gate!

 

Whether your family has been planning your visit for a year or a week, you're a first-time visitor or a Passholder, I absolutely cannot wait to help you plan your most magical trip to Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort ever!
