About Me
My love for travel led me to work for an airline which is perfect for supporting my Disney addiction. You can often find me jet setting off to the Disneyland Resort to take in a festival, enjoy the atmosphere and of course, eat all the snacks. I've also been known to make a last minute escape down the coast for a quick mental health day. I love to explore and learn new things about the parks. When I'm not at Disney, I love to roller skate (I used to play roller derby), sew and try my best to keep my plants alive.
About My Family
I met my husband in high school and we've been married since 2013. He's always onboard for a visit to Disney for the amazing food and snacks. We both love the history and nostalgia of the Disneyland Resort. Our favorite attraction is Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room, which is also one of the attractions where audio description is available. My husband is visually impaired and we love how inclusive and accessible Disney makes his theme park visits. With each passing year, I get closer and closer to convincing him to become a Magic Key holder. Here's hoping this year is the year! When at home, he's busy creating music in his home studio, I'm ideating my next sewing project and we're both loving on our dog, Taz.
About My Disney Experience
Growing up in Arizona, we took the occasional family trip to Disneyland. As we got older, I would visit the parks with my Mom and two sisters. The funny thing was, we'd pretty much copy and paste the same itinerary every visit. Since then I became an Annual Passholder, now Magic Key holder, and am also a Disney Vacation Club Member. Something I love about Disneyland is that every visit is unique and different. I often adventure solo to the Disneyland Resort, however never feel alone. When visiting the parks, I always feel connected to my late sister. It was a place that she also loved and where we created some very special memories.
