About Me
Hey there, everyone! I'm LeAndra, a native Central Floridian who visits Walt Disney World Resort every other week just to enjoy endless DOLE Whips and hugs from Mickey Mouse and friends. I'm a third-generation Sunshine State gal with a Southern and Caribbean upbringing. Before I became a virtual school teacher, I studied magazine journalism and directed high school theatre. When I'm not hanging out at the Disney Parks, I love theatregoing, solving puzzles, and filming and video editing my family's Florida adventures.
About My Family
My swashbuckling crew includes my U.S. Army-veteran husband and my two sons: a Slinky-Dog-Dash-loving elementary-schooler and Mickey-Mouse-obsessed toddler. When I'm not navigating the parks with my little 'Ohana, I'm enjoying solo adventures or exploring the parks and resort hotels with friends. I have no choice but to crave Disney magic: My Walt Disney World Resort experience started before I was even born. My mom sang in the choir at the opening ceremony of Magic Kingdom Park back in 1971. Now, I get to continue her dream by helping you prepare for your Happily Ever After!
About My Disney Experience
I view Walt Disney World Resort as an extension of my backyard. During my childhood, we'd visit every year. However, when I saw the Main Street Electrical Parade for the first time, I knew I was hooked for life. If I knew a visit was on the horizon, I'd plan my family's park days, recommending which attractions and shows to prioritize to maximize our time. Some things never change... I've experienced Walt Disney World as a carefree child, a field-trip student, a young adult, and now, as a busy mommy. At Walt Disney World Resort, you'll most likely find me using Rider Switch with my sister at Expedition Everest, on a date night with my husband at one of EPCOT's festivals, or filming my sons living their best lives in Toy Story Land. Beyond my "backyard," my mega goal is to visit all international Disney Parks, and I'm halfway there!
