Today the spotlight shines on Anamarie Jones from Wallingford, PA

Name: Anamarie Jones

Where are you from?  Wallingford, PA (right outside of Philadelphia)

First memory of Disney?  First family trip when I was 11.  We stayed at the Polynesian and it was magical.  Our first stop was MK and lunch at Cinderella’s Castle.  However, Cinderella never made it over to our table to see my little sister, who was around 4 at the time and my mom and dad were not happy.  So they said something to a cast member and wouldn’t you know it, before the 3 o’clock parade we were set up for our own private meet and greet before Cinderella got on the float!

What makes Disney MAGICAL in your eyes? Everything, I tear up every time I hop of the monorail and walk through the entrance to Magic Kingdom.  I’m home.

Favorite Disney destination and why?  So I used to say Walt Disney World and I think I would still say that, but after our first Disney Cruise this summer, it’s a tough call!

Favorite Disney Character and why?  Mickey Mouse without a doubt.  When I was little, my dad was on a trip to California and brought me back my first Mickey from Disneyland.  He was tiny and so soft and I loved that little guy.  I was hooked from that moment on.  Who knew then, I’d get to work for the Mouse himself in college and after and now with MickeyTravels!

Favorite Disney Attraction and why?  The Haunted Mansion because of the memories it holds for me as a child with my family and friends!

Favorite Disney Resort and why:  The Wilderness Lodge because of the décor, the feel and the convenience of location to the parks.

Favorite Disney Restaurant and why?  O’hana for the Mickey Waffles!

Favorite Disney Quick Service Restaurant and why?  Starbucks now, because they have combined two of my most favorite things….:)

3 Disney characters you’d like to have dinner with and why?  Mickey, Donald and Goofy of course.  Great conversation and fun for all!

Favorite Disney snack and why?  Can you believe I have not had a dole whip in years??? But it’s a pretty good snack.

Favorite Disney Movie and why?  This goes way back but Help Wanted Kids.

3 Favorite Disney Songs and why?  How Far I’ll Go – so inspirational and helps me on my training runs, You’ll be In My Heart – that was the song I danced to with my dad on my wedding day and A Whole New World – gets me every time it comes on and I love the movie.

Disney character you’re most similar to and why?  Any Princess, I’ve always been, stubborn, strong willed and willing to go for whatever I want and not stop until I get it.

If you could be one Disney character for a day who would it be and why?  Well, kind of been there done that, but I’d like to be Minnie 🙂

If you could work at one of the Disney theme parks, what job would you want and why?  Also done this and loved it and I was in entertainment so it was magical.

Best part about being a MickeyTravels Disney Travel Agent?  Being part of the magic for all of my clients!

Why should I book my vacation with you?  Disney is truly my home away from home, I hold it near and dear to my heart.  I want you to experience everything I have an even more!

MickeyTravels Agent Virtual Meet & Greet with Amanda Shellenbarger

February 12, 2017

MickeyTravels is excited to bring back The MickeyTravels Agent Virtual Meet & Greet! We feature a different MickeyTravels agent on a regular basis. We’re proud to have the best Disney Travel agents in the world as part of our MickeyTravels team and this will allow you to get to know them even better. Today the spotlight shines on Amanda Shellenbarger from Charlotte, North Carolina!

Name:  Amanda Shellenbarger

Where are you from?   Charlotte NC

First memory of Disney?   Walking down Main Street in Magic Kingdom and seeing the castle for the very first time as a young child.  Even to this day when I walk down Main Street and see that castle, I am filled with pure joy and nostalgia from that very first trip.

What makes Disney MAGICAL in your eyes?  Disney is a complete escape from the daily stresses of daily life.  It’s a place where you can go and be a kid again and enjoy good wholesome fun with the entire family.

Favorite Disney destination and why?  Walt Disney World and specifically the Magic Kingdom.  I think the Magic Kingdom will always hold the most favorite spot because my first Disney memories date back to here.

Favorite Disney Character and why?  Mickey Mouse, of course!  After all, it all started with a mouse.

Favorite Disney Attraction and why?  Space Mountain in the Magic Kingdom.  This attraction is special because this was the first big thrill ride I ever rode and I loved that I was able to share this with both of my kids as their first big thrill ride.  It’s the first ride we must hit each time we enter the Magic Kingdom.

Favorite Disney Resort and why? Disney’s Contemporary is my favorite resort.  It’s the ultimate in convenience to the Magic Kingdom via the monorail or walking.  I love staying in the Main Tower and seeing the monorail whiz through or look down and see Mickey and pals at Chef Mickey’s.  This resort is also home to my favorite non-theme park activity – The Pirates and Pals Voyage.

Favorite Disney Restaurant and why?  Our favorite and must do each trip is ‘Ohana for breakfast.  We love being able to meet our family favorite characters of Mickey and Stitch in one place.  The décor is gorgeous, food is wonderful and the hospitality is always top notch.

Favorite Disney Quick Service Restaurant and why?  Yorkshire Fish and Chips in Epcot.  I feel like I’m as close as I can get to the UK fish and chips on this side of the pond.

3 Disney characters you’d like to have dinner with and why?  Mickey, Stitch and Peter Pan.  These are my three favorite characters and I think this would be a very fun bunch of characters to spend time with.

Favorite Disney snack and why?  Mickey Ice Cream Bar!

Favorite Disney Movie and why?  Beauty and the Beast because I love the themes.  The movie shows us that true beauty lies within and to look beyond what’s on the outside.  I also love that Belle loves books and always wants to keep learning.  And last but not last, it shows a true sacrifice for love when Belle takes her father’s place in Beast’s Castle.

3 Favorite Disney Songs and why?  “How Far I’ll Go” from Moana, “Let It Go” from Frozen, and “Reflection” from Mulan because they are all power ballads of finding your inner strength and accepting who you are.

Disney character you’re most similar to and why? I would probably say I’m most like Belle.  When it comes to my family, there isn’t anything I would not sacrifice for them.  I also can see the beauty in all things – I believe seeing the inner beauty in people and life is a choice and life is fuller when we choose to count our blessings even in the midst of life’s biggest storms.

If you could be one Disney character for a day who would it be and why?  Stitch.  I think it would just be pure fun to be able to cut up like only Stitch can.

If you could work at one of the Disney theme parks, what job would you want and why?  I would love to be a cast member, but most specifically, I would love to be a VIP tour guide to watch people as they experience the greatest magic moments of the Disney parks.

Best part about being a MickeyTravels Disney Travel Agent?  I am able to share my love with Disney every single day.  With each vacation I plan for someone, I treat it as if I’m planning it for my very own family.  I love making my clients’ have the most magical vacation possible!

Why should I book my vacation with you?  When you book with me, I seek to leave no details unfinished.  I get to know you and your family and customize a trip just for you.  No two vacations I plan ever look the same!
