About Me

I've grown up in the Midwest my entire life, and I've been working in professional sports for over 15 years.  Most days I channel my inner Elastigirl, being stretched between work and my other role as a proud hockey, baseball, and dance Mom!  When we're not dreaming up our next Disney adventure, I love to cook, try new restaurants, and spend time with family and friends.  

About My Family

We are a rope drop loving family of four, and you'll usually find us in Avengers Campus or riding Big Thunder Mountain Railroad!  We also love to snack our way through the Disney Parks, so just follow the trail of popcorn and churro pixie dust to catch us at our next attraction.  Seeing the magic of Disney through our kids' eyes is something that we will cherish forever.  Our Disney memories will truly last a lifetime, and I cannot wait to share our magical tips with your family!

About My Disney Experience

My family visited Walt Disney World when I was young, but we fell in love with the Disneyland Resort on trips with our kids while visiting friends!  Since I'm not local to any parks, I really have to do my research to maximize time on our trips.  I love to strategically plan out each day with our priorities to get the most out of our trip!

Our favorite part of the Disney Parks are the amazing attractions that transport us to our favorite stories and movies.  One of my can't-miss activities is to watch the neon signs light up in Radiator Springs during the evening in Cars Land at Disney California Adventure Park!  I've done trips with family including traveling with babies and toddlers, as well as adults-only trips where we've enjoyed the wonderful festivals, food, and culture.  I'm truly looking forward to helping you plan your BEST DAY EVER!
