About Me
I’m a wife and mom to two teenagers who are growing up way too fast, which makes me even more grateful for all the Walt Disney World family vacation memories we have made throughout the years. I am that (crazy!) uber planner who creates multiple tab spreadsheets with color-coded highlights to track all the practically perfect details for our next Disney trip. Having a magical countdown with your kiddos is half the fun! Now I get to help you maximize the pixie-dust on your vacation, too!
About My Family
My husband and I met at a convention in Colorado over 20 years ago, and I quickly figured out I had met the mountain-loving man of my dreams. He serves as an Airport Operations Manager and firefighter for ARFF (Airport Rescue and Firefighting), and is always willing to go with the flow when it comes to my enthusiastic travel planning. My teenagers are five years apart in age but are amazing friends, and share their love of Disney. My daughter is my ride or die, cry together during fireworks, rope-drop-until-close Disney kindred spirit! My younger son has reached the age where he’s up for any thrill ride, and I’m totally here for it.
For my family, “the mountains are calling, and I must go” equally represents our surrounding Colorado beauty, and our love of blasting off on Space Mountain! Adventure is out there, and we embrace it every chance we get.
When it comes to planning your family's trip, I'm eager to help! And I'm happy to share tips on navigating Walt Disney World plans when your kids have a big age gap or are in varying life stages, with different interests. With a little creativity, we even navigated a multiple year stretch where our timid child refused to experience ANY dark attractions, even mild ones in Fantasyland. There's always fun to be had and magical memories to be made at a Disney resort, no matter your age or preferences!
About My Disney Experience
Once I had a family of my own, a wonderful new era of Disney World vacations began. Since my kids were born, we've taken annual trips to Walt Disney World Resort as a family. Sometimes with the grandparents in tow, too! RunDisney even inspired this non-runner to train for my first half marathon, which was a multi-generation girls trip packed with wonderful core memories. I understand how critical selecting perfect dates, taking advantage of special offers, having park touring strategies, and including magical touches like a character dining reservation can contribute to the best possible Disney vacation for your family. I'd love to help you make some magical memories!
