At this point in my life, I have developed a clear picture of what’s most important to me. Not the job that I took a year off from three years ago to stay home with my kiddos. Not the toys and clothes and belongings that I spend too much time cleaning and reorganizing. No, what makes my heart absolutely overflow with happiness is my family. My perfect, chaotic, amazing, family. My little boys (all three of them as of a month ago), my amazing husband, my parents and brothers, my grandparents, even my aunts, uncles, cousins, and their kids. The list goes on, but it is these incredible people who truly make my life what it is.

I am very lucky that I continue to have so many amazing experiences with each of these people in my life – a huge number of these experiences having taken place at, what I truly believe to be, the most magical place on Earth. I have been to Walt Disney World more times than I can sit and easily count. I’ve visited as a child with my immediate family, with my extended family, with just my grandmother as a sophomore in college, with my husband on our honeymoon, with his brothers less than a year later, five time before my oldest was five, and once since then with a trip to the “land” in between. Still, as many times as I’ve visited, I can honestly say that no two trips have been the same – each had their own special touches of pixie dust – and from the super sad last day of our trip, I’m already planning our next.

And by planning I mean researching. I spend countless hours looking into the trip altering changes happening in the ‘World’, timing for planned construction, new lands and rides, weather patterns in Orlando, crowd patterns in the park, any detail that might affect our adventure in any way. I’ve taken so many notes and tried so many different approaches in my travels that the next logical step is to share what I’ve learned. I’m already the Disney go-to within my circle of friends and regularly plan trips for my extended family – why not take that a step further? So that’s my plan, my purpose, and my goal. I’ve recently become a certified travel agent specializing in Disney and Universal and I am beyond excited for this adventure!! I hope to save someone else those steps in the research process because I’ve already done them…year after year after year…and maybe impart a few of my personal experiences to either save you from having one of my not so magical moments, or help make your visit the best ever. So what do you say? Let my memories make your experience more magical…

I only hope that we don’t lose site of one thing – that it was all started with a mouse. — Walt Disney
