My passion for Walt Disney World: began when I was 12 years old and my parents took my brothers and I on the most fantastic family vacation to Disney. It was based on my magical memories of this trip, that I applied for a co-op through Monroe Community College to work in Disney for a semester. I got the co-op and spent a semester working in Tomorrowland Terrace in the Magic Kingdom as a cast member. This experience reinforced my lifelong obsession with Disney!

My favorite magical moment: is when I enter the Magic Kingdom and start to walk down Main Street. The smell of popcorn, the music, and the first sight of Cinderella's Castle provoke emotions of happiness and nostalgia. There is no better feeling than first walking down Main Street and seeing Cinderella's castle!

My best travel tip: is to incorporate downtime into the day. We always want to see and do it all, but it is no fun if everyone is tired, hot and cranky. Stop mid-day and spend time at the pool or sit for an hour and relax with a cold drink. It is worth feeling refreshed and being able to enjoy the rest of the day and evening!

The Disney Character I most identify with: Belle. She is spirited and kind and always has her nose stuck in a book!
