About Me:
I am a stay-at-home mom who has enjoyed watching my son grow from an under three pound preemie to a healthy 9 year old boy. I am active in his school PTO and serve as chairperson for our school’s annual Book Fair. I grew up in Rochester, New York, but now reside in Pennsylvania. I used my B.A. in Legal Studies as a paralegal before becoming a full-time mother. I enjoy reading, writing, traveling, ice skating and planning my next vacations. Helping friends, teachers, neighbors and family members plan their trips to Walt Disney World has always been a rewarding experience for me.
About My Family: My husband and I have been married for nearly 16 years. A highlight of our marriage was renewing our vows at Walt Disney World for our 10-year anniversary. Riding in Cinderella’s Coach was a dream come true. Another dream come true was taking our son, who was born prematurely, to Walt Disney World for the first time when he was two years old – something we thought we might not get the chance to do. Today, he is an excellent student who loves to read and enjoys karate and Cub Scouts. He shares my passion for the parks, and loves Space Mountain and Star Tours.
About My Disney Experience: My husband and I are both fans of WDW. We even honeymooned at the Grand Floridian. We travel to Disney World at least once per year, love sailing aboard the Disney Cruise Line and have vacationed at the Disney Resort on Hilton Head Island. We have stayed at most of the resorts at WDW. I hope to inspire other moms to plan a Walt Disney World vacation to match their budgets and dreams.

Good morning Moms!! Just wondering...are the gifts and amenities (ie wine pkg) avail once you are onboard the ship for the same price or should we prepurchase? What about the cost of the floats at Castaway Cay? It's $6 online...is it the same there? THX

Float rentals at Castaway Cay are also $6 if purchased while on the island. I usually do not pre-purchase Castaway Cay amenities as the weather can be variable.
Wine packages are also offered on the ship during your first afternoon. See your... read more

During your Walt Disney World stay, you'll mostly need casual resort clothes. I like to watch accuweather.com for the long range forecast as temperatures in December can really vary. The normal high is in the low to mid 70s and the usual low is in... read more
