About Me:
I first learned about the Walt Disney World Moms Panel three years ago. Since then it has been an indispensable vacation planning resource for my family. Kay B, my predecessor as the Adventures by Disney specialist on the Moms Panel, was instrumental in our decision to take our first Adventures by Disney tour. Without any fluency in German or experience traveling through Europe with a child, we found Kay's answers very reassuring. Going on our ABD trip was one of the best decisions we ever made. I'd love to share my perspective with other families considering a trip with Adventures by Disney.
About My Family: My husband and I started our marriage off right with a honeymoon at the Grand Floridian. He purchased me a Disney Vacation Club Membership at the Villas at Wilderness Lodge as a surprise for my 40th birthday. Since then we visit our "home away from home" almost annually. Last summer we celebrated our twentieth wedding anniversary on a magical Adventures by Disney trip to Germany. As with all of our Disney trips, we were ecstatic to take our now 11-year-old son along on our adventure. An avid baseball player and cartoonist, he looks forward to his Walt Disney World vacations as much as his Disney-obsessed mother.
About My Disney Experience: I have been smitten with the Walt Disney Resort since my parents first took my sister and me there when I was six-years-old. I have been helping friends and family members plan their grand Disney adventures since I was in college. I have a special interest in researching Disney resorts and spend much of my time reading or listening to podcasts about new developments at the most magical place on earth. I consider it a great privilege to help shape families' sure-to-be-treasured vacation memories. I am so excited to help you with your questions about Adventures by Disney or Walt Disney World vacations!

My son wears a Cochlear Implant and I am nervous about the possiblity of it coming off while riding rides. If it were to come off, could we contact someone to let them know so it could be found. They are very expensive.
- Asked by Namona from VA on 12/27/2012

Hi Namona,
I can certainly understand your concern about your son's cochlear implant. Is there any way your son could secure the device before boarding the thrill rides in the Disney theme parks? For instance, is there a knit cap with...

Hello,
I will be bringing a group of my family in April and we are concerned about how much there is to do for our children that are ages 3 to 5 years. Are there any rides they can ride?

Our family will be at Disney over the 2013 Superbowl! Will any of the resorts offer a Superbowl viewing party on a big screen?

Hi Jennifer,
I'm sure that lounges in the Disney moderate and deluxe resorts will have the Super Bowl playing on the evening of Sunday, February 3rd. However, not all of these lounges are equipped with big screen televisions. Your...
