About Me: Bonjour!  My name is Stephanie and I am a wife, mother and Disney planner extraordinaire from Ontario, Canada.  I teach the third grade, and I absolutely love my job!  Teaching is much like a Walt Disney World Resort vacation - advanced planning makes everything run smoothly and you will never experience the same thing twice.  For me, Disney is a magical experience, and I love explaining to anyone who will listen why a Walt Disney World Resort vacation is priceless.  In my spare time, I can be found playing outside with my princess, teaching competitive dance, or sharing Disney advice in French or English.

About My Family: My husband and I have been happily married for six years.  He makes me laugh everyday and is my dream come true!  Together, we are the proud parents of our amazing princess Lauren, and our cat Zoe.  My daughter is a thrill seeker who has recently passed the 40-inch height requirement milestone and loves riding the "big girl" attractions at Walt Disney World.  It has become very clear that she has inherited my love of all things Disney as well as my husband's sense of adventure.  With hectic lives here in Canada, we have come to cherish our Walt Disney World Resort vacations because we get to spend quality time together making memories that will last a lifetime.

About My Disney Experience: My love of Walt Disney World Resort began when I visited the parks as a teenager with my aunt and my six year old cousin.  The look on my cousin's face when she met Piglet was magical!  When I had my daughter, I knew that I wanted her to experience that same magic. One of the things I love about Walt Disney World Resort is that every vacation is a new adventure.  Where else can you have dinner at a castle with real princesses, dance with a Beast and become an actual pirate in the same day?  As my family and friends "go to" travel planner, I have insight into planning vacations for families with small children and guests with limited mobility.  I have planned countless vacations for just the three of us as well as detailed trips with our extended family.  Being Canadian, I also have experience and helpful tips for international travel.  I am honoured to be a member of this year's moms panel and can't wait to help other families fall in love with the magic of Disney!

I want to book a vaction for Nov 2014 but I know the packages are not up yet. We want to stay at the polynesian resort. Should I go ahead and book my room now (i'm afraid they will fill up). Or is it safe to wait till late summer to book a vacation package

My family usually stays in a Deluxe resort. We are thinking of taking my 2 older nieces with us next year and wanted to know what the most cost effective way to stay was. I looked at the Villas but it seems that the more people you add the more expensive?
