About Me: When I first learned about the Moms Panel, my heart skipped a beat and that sparkling, effervescent feeling I get thinking about all things Disney started flowing through my veins. I imagine that Cinderella felt just like this on her way to THE BALL! This is an opportunity for me to give something back to Disney as a way of demonstrating my love, appreciation and obsession for the most magical place on Earth. I'm in debt to Disney for the priceless, unmeasurable happiness and memories it has given me. Faith, trust and pixie dust....forever.

About My Family: I am the mom to two wonderful, funny kids.  One of my purposes in life is to raise Disney freaks to carry on my obsession.  I knew I had achieved that when my daughter named her brother after a Disney Prince.  I married my highschool sweetheart and we've lived happily ever after celebrating our 17th wedding anniversary on our 3rd Disney cruise!

About My Disney Experience: My dad loved Disney World and would take me and my sisters there every Summer from the time it opened its doors until he passed away in 1978.  He passed on his love of all things "mouse" and I'm working on doing the same for my kids.  Over the years I've been to the parks hundreds of times, stayed at their resorts and have sailed on three Disney cruises.  I still have so much to do and I plan to do it even if it's with an oxygen tank, in a wheelchair with grandkids pushing me...just like my mom did!

Question Hi--We've been on the Dream before. However, because my son's b-day is in Jan., it's always chilly. He likes to sail little opti sailboats and has a tank top type wetsuit. Will he be allowed to ride the aquaduck with a wetsuit on (so he doesn't freeze)?

- Asked by Larisa from FL on 12/16/2012
Answer Hi Larisa! Yes, he will be allowed to ride the AquaDuck in his wetsuit.  Remember, you sit inside a small raft, so what he's wearing won't be an issue.  In fact, I think it's a great idea!  Also, if the water temperature falls... read more
