About Me: I’m Jackie and I’m a work-at-home mom of two great kids. You’ll either find me on vacation at Walt Disney World or planning my next trip. I fell in love with Disney Parks on our first Disneyland family vacation when my youngest child was just two and I’ve been Pixie Dusted ever since! Because I feel that a person can never have too much magic in their life, I encourage everyone I know to visit Disney as often as possible! Now that we’ve moved from the West Coast to the East Coast, I indulge in a trip to the Walt Disney World Resort as often as I possibly can. It truly makes my heart sing to help people plan their Disney vacations or when they ask for my recommendations, so, ask away! I’m ready!

About My Family: I’ve been married to my husband for nearly 20 years. He is a Field Service Engineer who works on medical lab equipment. He is also an avid cyclist, and enjoys backpacking, and fly fishing. Our teenage son is a guitar player and is active with the Boy Scouts while our tween daughter is a gymnast and a Girl Scout. In between their fun and busy activities, they enjoy our frequent visits to the Walt Disney World Resort. We always make it a point to experience something new each time we go since we are so fortunate to be able to drive there often. Walt Disney World is such an important part of our world and we have the time of our lives playing and creating memories that they’ll be able to pass on to their families someday!

About My Disney Experience: When we lived on the West Coast, Disneyland was our favorite vacation destination. Years ago, we decided to check out the Walt Disney World Resort. Since I'm the planner in our family, I was elected to learn about all the fun! I quickly realized that there was so much magic to be had, I needed some help! That was when I discovered the Walt Disney World Moms Panel. I learned so many fun ways to sprinkle Pixie Dust on our vacation and the whole family has been hooked ever since! Back in 2010, we moved from the West Coast to the East Coast and now we’re just a short drive from Walt Disney World. We have experienced what it’s like to travel by car and it’s fabulous! We became Disney Vacation Club Members last year so we’re now able to completely immerse ourselves in the magic when we have our Grand Gathering trips! I can’t wait to share our family’s experiences with you and to help you create magical memories with your families at the Walt Disney World Resort!
