About Me
Even though I was born and raised in New York, Disney has been a BIG part of my life since 1975. My first experience at Walt Disney World was that year, and I was only two years old. Believe it or not, I still remember loving on my stuffed Dumbo and getting a Tinkerbell figurine though. Maybe I hoped that I if I brought her back home to Long Island, she’d share some of her pixie dust with me?!?
Through the years, I watched the Wonderful World of Disney on television, viewed Disney movies at the theater, and visited the park with my family. I even attended Grad Nite, as a senior in high school when I moved to Florida, at the Magic Kingdom! I’ve watched Walt Disney World expand as it added EPCOT, MGM Studios (then Hollywood Studios and now Disney Studios), Animal Kingdom, and Disney Springs (or Downtown Disney as I've called it for years) to name a few. Seeing the changes over time brings back so many heartfelt memories.
Having lived in Florida, it made sense to purchase annual passes. That’s when my trips up to Orlando to see Mickey and Friends exploded. We would stay in hotels on the property for the FULL experience. From the value resorts to the deluxe ones and everything in between, I’ve been fortunate to stay there on numerous occasions. Staying on property is what makes everything so magical!
When I “grew up” and became a mom, I introduced my son to Disney. From the time he was a toddler, he too has been a fan and one of his first words was, “Pooh!” who he reached out and grabbed for. Some of his first steps headed straight towards Mickey’s open arms. Seeing the Disney experience through the eyes of your child brings a whole new level of love to your heart. In fact, when I asked him about a high school graduation gift and told him to pick what he wanted, he chose to stay at the Contemporary with a theme park view, time at EPCOT with dining reservations at Le Cellier, and a Backstage Magic Tour (he knows Disney well). Once again, Disney blew us away!! This time was so precious to me, and we shared it in the place that we had both grown to love throughout the years. Not only did we get to celebrate his graduation with quality one-on-one time together, we got to be together at a time when big changes were surrounding us: I was getting remarried a week later, and he was heading off to college in the fall.
As you can see, Disney has been a big part of my life for years, and I hope you will allow me to help you capture the magic in yours as well. It would be my honor to help book you a vacation package to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, Adventures by Disney, or Aulani: a Disney Resort & Spa in Ko Olina, Hawai’i. Whether it’s assisting with dining reservations, travel accommodations, or scheduling itineraries, I’m here to make your travel experience one that gives you memories to cherish forever!
