About Me:  Every aspect of planning a Disney World vacation is pure joy! From the moment I book a flight to Orlando, I'm hooked. I love sitting down with my children and figuring out where we want to spend each day. If I'm not planning a vacation for myself, I love when first time Disney goers ask for any tips. I want everyone to fall in love with Disney World. It's so exciting to help families who are experiencing the magic for the first time and and to know that I helped them have the best vacation ever.

About My Family: Many words describe our family: loving, supportive, goofy, and very busy! My husband and I have 3 children: Alex (10), Domenic (7), and Mia (2). Although we have a zillion activities, we love to spend time as a family. Sunday dinners are the norm and often include our large extended family who live nearby. When we had just our two boys, finding activities that the whole family could enjoy was easy. Now that we have a baby girl in the mix, we have to be more creative. Disney is our magical place where we make lasting memories.

About My Disney Experience: I took my first trip to Walt Disney World when I was 11. Since then, I've been back many times: as a honeymooner, with small children, as a get-away with my husband and with my extended family. Walt Disney World has something for everyone. It’s a place where we can go as a family and know that everyone will enjoy themselves. It’s been so much fun watching our children go from being satisfied splashing around in the fountains at EPCOT and tentatively meeting Mickey to conquering Disney’s mountain attractions effortlessly and declaring Rockin’ Roller Coaster the best ride ever!
