About Me: They call me Disney Sherpa.
I am a high school English teacher who is also the friend to call when you need advice on planning your trip to Disney, whether for 2 or 402.
I think you CAN have it all on your WDW vacation; you just need to know who to ask!

About My Family: My husband and I are the proud parents of a daughter and a son. We've traveled to WDW over 40 times in 10 years, squeezing every bit of magic from our Disney Vacation Club Membership! From front car rides on Rock 'n' Roller Coaster to eating our way around the world in Epcot, our kids have become adventurous foodies. If not at WDW, you might find us on a luxurious Disney ship, making memories we've cherished as our kids grow up. From our 5-year old winning the Padawan Mind Challenge at Star Wars Weekends, to our 7-year old winning Bingo poolside at Old Key West, to introducing 8-year olds to parasailing on Castaway Cay, our favorite family memories were created with Disney magic! Part of a LARGE family, with first cousins adding up to over 50, our family gatherings are usually enormous...and loud! We've even staged mini-reunions at Bay Lake Tower and at a Grand Villa at Kidani Village. For us, Disney time means family time.

About My Disney Experience: 

Although I experienced Disneyland with my family when I was six, it wasn’t until I was 33, married, with two little ones, that I found the magic that is Walt Disney World. That year, I caught the Disney bug when I quickly realized that there is so much to explore, enjoy and experience at Disney than we could ever absorb in one week.  By our second trip, we had joined Disney Vacation Club; I knew right then that DVC was the right choice for our young family.   DVC has enabled us to enjoy Dream vacations, literally, that we could not have experienced otherwise. My specialty is sprinkling pixie dust over every Walt Disney World vacation in addition to coordinating the best use of your DVC membership so that you have the most Magical Disney Experience!  Have a question?  Ask me.  I’d LOVE to help you maximize your Disney Magic!
