About Me: I have always loved to cruise, but when I saw the Disney Wonder in the Port of Nassau, it took my breath away.  Although I was on another cruise line at the time, I quickly began snapping pictures of this magnificent ship. I knew as soon as I got home I would have to start planning my first Disney Cruise! 
Born and raised in a suburb of Atlanta, I love that both Walt Disney World and Port Canaveral are only a short plane or car ride away.  Currently, I am working with a special needs' Pre-K class, but I have also taught students in 3rd, 4th & 5th grade.  When I am not planning a Disney vacation, you can find me running, shopping and enjoying time with friends and family.

About My Family: My husband and I have been married for 11 wonderful years.  We are childhood sweethearts as we actually went to the same elementary school and swam on the same neighborhood swim team!  We have one ballet loving princess and one baseball loving prince.  We enjoy spending time with our family and are fortunate enough to live 10 miles from both our parents.  My children always have a playmate with six cousins living right next door!  We all love Disney and have enjoyed cruising together and visiting Disney parks as a family.

About My Disney Experience: I first experienced the Disney magic as a five year old, but had to wait almost 15 years to have pixie dust sprinkled my way again.  But fortunately for me, one of the best things about Disney is the magic happens no matter what the age!  Over the last 15 years, I have made numerous trips to the Disney parks, including running the Disney Princess Half-Marathon and sailed on three Disney cruises.  The research and planning I have done for each one of my Disney experiences has made me a perfect fit for the Walt Disney World Moms Panel.  I can't wait to spread my knowledge of DCL so other families will have a chance to make invaluable memories that will last them a lifetime.  My most favorite DCL advice is to visit the future cruise sales desk before disembarking and book your next cruise so you are already looking forward to your next magical voyage!
