    Thnx so much for all the help! I'm going this week to buy items we will need such as: Sunscreen, Ponchos, bottled water, snacks for park and hotel, ziploc bags, cheap sunglasses. What else do you think I should get? 2 adults (women) and 1 5yr old girl.

Hi, I’m Rachel! I am a “boy mom” to two rowdy little men at home and married to my high school sweetheart. I am fortunate enough that my prince charming loves all things Disney just as much as I do! For me, planning a trip to Walt Disney World can be just as magical as being there. It brings our family together as we dream, plan, and count down the days. I would be honored to help plan your visit and share in your family’s very own magic! Learn More About Rachel
