About Me
Star Wars. Disney. I love them both. My first trip to Walt Disney World Resort was when I was eight years old. A year later, I remember watching Star Wars in the movie theater. Since then, my passion for both kept on growing, just like the Force.
I was born in Argentina, but moved to beautiful New Jersey in 1987. I've been working as a university administrator in IT for over two decades, and many consider me the resident Disney and Star Wars expert. I also think of myself as a technologist, and am always trying to keep abreast of the constant changes.
I am super excited about the upcoming attractions at the parks and the new movies. I am counting down the days and looking forward to the new experiences.
About My Family
I married my high school sweetheart after enduring a long distance relationship for several years. During her first visit to the US in the mid '90s, we escaped to Walt Disney World Resort for a weekend getaway. Her passion for Disney flourished and The Force was so strong between us, we got married a year later. Since then, together we've been "training" two Padawans.
We all share the same passion for Star Wars and together have enjoyed building Star Wars Lego sets for many years. Some are even proudly displayed in my office at work! We enjoy movies, dinners and road trips together. Disney has always been a part of our lives, and we've enjoyed many trips, typically driving south to Florida.

About My Disney Experience
Since a young age, I've had the opportunity to visit Walt Disney World Resort on many occasions: as a child, as a teenager, as a couple, as a conventionEAR, and as a dad. We think about our trips from very early on. From making dining reservations, to FastPass+, we discuss and plan every aspect of it, together as a family.
We've also sailed aboard all four Disney Cruise Line ships. Which one is our favorite? Tough question! Most recently, we completed the Great American Road Trip: driving cross country and back, making an obligatory stop at Disneyland Resort.
Our trips back home are never sad. Not soon after leaving, we start looking forward to our next adventure, and with a touch of Pixie Dust, we hope to find the droids we've been looking for...
