Today the spotlight shines on Laura Long, from Maryland

Name: Laura Long

Where are you from? I grew up in New Jersey and now live with my family in Maryland.

First memory of Disney? Riding in the front car of the monorail with the conductor and my Mom, Dad & Brother as a kid – it was so special!

What makes Disney MAGICAL in your eyes? Every visit to a Disney destination makes me feel like a kid again – and that never gets old!

Favorite Disney destination and why? Tough question! I have 2 – The Magic Kingdom because I can relive my childhood memories through my children’s eyes when they light up with excitement from some of the same experiences I had as a child – truly priceless! The other is EPCOT. I have great memories of EPCOT with my family and will always be able to sing EPCOT’s soundtrack thanks to my Mom & Dad buying it on a trip in the 80’s!

Favorite Disney Character and why? Tigger, always had a soft spot for him!

Favorite Disney Attraction and why? Pirates of the Caribbean because it is a classic that has been updated, and is one of the lengthier rides!

Favorite Disney Resort and why? I love the Wilderness Lodge for many reasons – it’s a beautiful resort, in a fantastic location near Magic Kingdom, and it gives you the sense of being away from it all when you’re only a short boat ride away from all the magic!

Favorite Disney Restaurant and why? Hands down Ohana’s at the Polynesian Resort- the food is superb, great view of Magic Kingdom and the kids always love it!

Favorite Disney Quick Service Restaurant and why? I love the food at Sunshine Seasons inside The Land in Epcot. It is always so fresh (some of it comes from The Land) and it is a great location to grab a quick bite before heading to the next attraction!

3 Disney characters you’d like to have dinner with and why? Goofy for laughter, Jiminy Cricket for life lessons and Captain Jack Sparrow for love!

Favorite Disney snack and why? A dole whip from Aloha Isle because it’s delicious!

Favorite Disney Movie and why? Pirates of the Caribbean The Curse of the Black Pearl because I love Pirates & Johnny Depp.

3 Favorite Disney Song and why? “AMERICA” from EPCOTS The American Adventure because it is a very powerful song. “Dream Come True” – a great memory of my family riding as the Grand Marshalls of the Magic Kingdom’s Dream Come True parade in 2011. Yo Ho, Yo Ho A Pirates Life for Me because I can’t get enough of it!

Disney character you’re most similar to and why? I would have to say Daisy because I love flowers & have a green thumb.

If you could be one Disney mascot for a day who would it be and why? It would be very special to be Cinderella for a day!

Best part about being a MickeyTravels Disney Travel Agent? We are a special team dedicated to making our client’s Disney dreams come true!

Why should I book my vacation with you? I love helping clients plan their Disney vacations! Whether it’s a Disney Cruise or a trip to Walt Disney World, I will be as involved as you would like me to be while planning a magical Disney vacation for you and your family!
