My first trip to Disney World with my grandparents in 1995 was a core memory for me. I still have photo albums with handwritten notes from my Mimi, our Polynesian Resort room keys, and my original character autograph book. It wasn’t until college that I realized Disney’s magic can be experienced at any age and stage of life! My husband Andrew and I made many trips to Disney World and Disneyland before starting our family, and now it’s our go-to vacation destination with our children as well. 

 

As an experienced Disney traveler through pregnancy and with young children (both of my kiddos have been visiting Disney since infancy!), I take particular joy in planning trips for families. The “they won’t remember it” argument doesn’t sway me – I have countless stories about my kids’ enchanting first experiences. Moms and Dads, your memories of seeing your children experience Disney at any age are just as special! Traveling to Disney with kiddos can feel overwhelming, but it can be done with the right planning. I can speak to all things transportation, strollers, baby centers, best hotels for kiddos and more!

 

Prior to becoming a travel planner, I spent most of my professional career in higher education and the EdTech industry. I am also the co-founder and a board member of non-profit Magnolia Musical Theatre, where we produce full-scale, Broadway-quality, free outdoor musicals each summer for the Central Texas community. My experience in both education, theatre, and project-management allows me to be extremely detail-oriented and client-experience focused. I’ve been the unofficial Disney travel planner for my family for years, and it brings me genuine joy to build the perfect itinerary and take the guesswork out of how to have the most magical experience!
