Hey Magical Travel family!

I am still currently in the process of "Earning my Ears" and soaking up all the magical knowledge to be the best possible travel advisor I can be to all of you! I'm getting close though and can't wait to start helping all of you book those dream vacations!

In the mean time, I thought I'd help all of you get to know me & my new business a little better!

Q. Why did I decide to become a travel specialist?
A. I LOVE planning vacations, or just planning things in general. That's not me just saying the obvious. I really truly love it. Especially trips that are overly complicated and require a certain amount of skill, research, and knowledge - like a Disney vacation. What most see as tedious and stressful, I find an extreme amount of joy in. I absolutely love seeing friends and family I've helped with tips & tricks post their photos of their wonderful vacations & memories and I've been doing it for years on the DL. So it just made sense to finally turn it into a career!

Q. What kinds of vacations will I be able to help your family plan?
A. My specialties definitely lie in all things Disney & Universal. I am a current WDW annual passholder & a former Universal Orlando passholder. Ive spent almost a decade at this point making Orlando my 2nd home, and when Im not there, I'm staying up to date on all the juicy info and updates! I'm also excited to help you plan your future Hawaiian vacation to Disney's Aulani resort, or your next Disney Cruise! But, Disney or not, you name it I will help you get there!

Q. What's your favorite Disney Park?
A. That's a hard one! I truly do love all of the main 4 for different reasons.
Magic Kingdom is my favorite for nostalgia & truly feeling the Disney Magic.
Hollywood Studios is my favorite for rides.
EPCOT is my favorite for food & shopping.
Animal Kingdom is my favorite relax/leisure park.

Q. What's your favorite WDW ride?
A. Again hard to narrow to just one...
Magic Kingdom: Haunted Mansion
EPCOT: Guardians of the Galaxy
Hollywood Studios: Tower of Terror
Animal Kingdom: Flight of Passage (but I'm also a real sucker for Kilimanjaro Safari)

Q. Favorite Restaurants on Property?
A. Boma at Animal Kingdom Lodge for Breakfast.
Lunch - a nice quick service Ronto Wrap from Galaxy's Edge at Hollywood Studios.
Yachtsman Steakhouse at the Yacht Club Resort for dinner.

Q. Favorite WDW resort?
A. Animal Kingdom Lodge
