About Me:
By day, I’m a fearless middle-school teacher. By night, a family-loving Disney vacation obsessed planner who loves to share with others my passion for Walt Disney World in the hopes that other families will find the magic we have found. In fact, I am known by friends as the “Disney Geek” – the lady who always wants to serve up tips and ideas of how to make visits to Walt Disney World special and magical.
About My Family: My husband and I have three sons, ages 15, 12, and 9, and a horribly spoiled greyhound. All of us LOVE leaving our busy schedules behind and escaping to a place where wishes come true. We see hidden Mickeys in everything. Hmmm, hidden Mickeys??? I’d love to fill you in on that secret adventure!
About My Disney Experience: Over the years, I have received countless phone calls and e-mails from friends and friends of friends asking for my assistance in planning their magical getaways. I’m only too happy to help! In fact, I often think that I don’t have a major sports team that I cheer for and follow because Walt Disney World is my home team. I know the stats and players and am ready to host the “pre-game show.”

Hello,
I googled the Polynesian pools and came across a photo of a beautiful lazy-river type pool where people were floating along on inner tubes, but I didn't see any mention of this on the Poly web site. Does it have a lazy river?
Thank you
- Asked by Julie on 3/26/2013

Hi Julie,
I'm sorry to say that while the Polynesian Resort does have a beautiful pool, it doesn't have a lazy-river. I'm wondering if you might have seen a photo of Stormalong Bay at the Yacht/Beach Club Resort. In fact, you may want...

My daughter will be 4 on our trip to WDW and she will be too afraid or short to go on the Haunted Mansion and Tower of Terror rides. If my husband and I want to do the "kid swap" and ride alone, will she still have to go through the scary queue
- Asked by Julianne on 3/24/2013

Hello, Julianne,
When you arrive at the entrance of the attraction (before you actually enter the queue), there should be a cast member there who can assist you with the "kid swap" so your daughter won't have to enter the attraction. If she...
