Name: Theresa McCoy

Where are you from? North Louisiana

First memory of Disney? Playing outside on Sunday afternoons and coming in just in time to turn on the Wonderful World of Disney. I couldn’t wait to see Tinker Bell fly around the castle and listen to Walt Disney himself.

What makes Disney MAGICAL in your eyes? Disney destinations are the only places we’ve ever visited traveling with our multigenerational family that we can all enjoy everything together! Riding Space Mountain with my 6 year old daughter and my 60 year old dad…riding with my mom for the first time ever because she’s so caught up in the magic she wants to be a part of it all … the look in my little one’s eyes when she meets her favorite Disney friends for the first time…

Now, my daughters are 23 and 10 and there is no vacation anywhere that we would all enjoy spending every minute together like we do on a Disney vacation.

Favorite Disney destination and why? The Walt Disney World Resort is my favorite Disney destination because there is so much to do that every time we visit it’s new! Each trip we take time to enjoy our favorite rides, attractions and restaurants but we always make it a point to try something new… Agent P’s World Showcase Adventure, ‘Ohana for dinner, a new food in Epcot… It’s also a place we feel like we are miles and miles away from all the outside world.

Favorite Disney Character and why? Mickey Mouse is my favorite character because he knew a Walt Disney that no one else would ever know! When I see Mickey I know the dreams Walt had are still alive.

Favorite Disney Attraction and why? My favorite Disney attraction would have to be Wishes fireworks over Cinderella Castle.

Favorite Disney Resort and why? My favorite Disney Resort is Pop Century! I love exploring all the huge icons of years gone by… the bowling pins in the 50’s section, the gigantic Mickey telephone that I never got to have as a kid, Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head together always. Doing the Hustle in the main lobby, hula hoops by the pool, listening to the music of Elvis and Chubby Checker in the main building. And the best thing of all about Pop Century? Tie Dye Cheesecake!

Favorite Disney Restaurant and why? I love each and every one of the character dining locations. Being able to visit with our favorite Disney friends while we take a break from the parks helps keep us on track for other attractions.

Favorite Disney Quick Service Restaurant and why? Cosmic Ray’s in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom has the best hamburgers and french fries ever! I go to the “fixins’ bar” and pile my burger with onions and mushrooms…

3 Disney characters you’d like to have dinner with and why? Mickey and I would ask him all about Walt, Cinderella because I love her rags to riches story and she carries herself with such style and grace, and lastly Stitch because he is always into something and I can totally identify with that.

Favorite Disney snack and why? A Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bar hits the spot every afternoon. It’s a classic!

Favorite Disney Movie and why? My favorite movie of all time just happens to be a Disney movie – Cinderella. It’s a great story of love, friendship, and best of all, it shows us that our dreams really can come true!

3 Favorite Disney Song and why? I don’t know that I can pick just 3 favorite Disney songs, but I’ll tell you why I love these 3: Beauty and the Beast – Best friends make the best couples; Part of Your World – having all the things in the world are not as important as having love; I Just Can’t Wait to Be King – It’s a great song to sing along and dance to!

Disney character you’re most similar to and why? Fairy Godmother – It’s my job to make dreams come true.

If you could be one Disney mascot for a day who would it be and why? I would choose to be Minnie Mouse because she is so sweet and because she gets to work closely with Mickey!

If you could work at one of the Disney theme parks, what job would you want and why? I would work at Magic Kingdom! I would be a “greeter” (if there is such a job) so I could walk around all day and talk to happy families, create magic, and sprinkle some pixie dust wherever possible.

Best part about being a MickeyTravels Disney Travel Agent? I love being a part of making Dreams Come True! I wanted to be a Disney travel agent so that I could help other families enjoy the magic instead of being overwhelmed with the planning.

Why should I book my vacation with you? There is no one you will find that will take as good of care of your vacation as I will. I put as much love and time into planning your Disney vacation as I put into planning for my own family. When you arrive on Disney property, even if it is your first visit, you will feel totally prepared and like you are “home”. And besides, who else do you know that wants to talk with you day or night about your vacation…I’m as excited as you are about your getting to go!

Where are you from? Nashville TN

First memory of Disney? 2003 Taking my then, 2 year old and 7 year old and seeing through their eyes.

What makes Disney MAGICAL in your eyes? Its like being in a cartoon. It’s the only place on earth a grown man can walk around with Mickey ears on and no one bats an eye. Its such a family oriented environment its hard to not get involved and wrapped up in the magic of it all. Your truly do feel like a kid. You forget about all the problems and stress on the “outside”.

Favorite Disney destination and why? Walt Disney World in Florida. You can’t replace Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom and all the resort choices!!

Favorite Disney Character and why? This is a tough one!! Im torn between Ariel and Maleficent. Two total different characters. Ariel because she’s a bound and determined kinda girl who will stop at nothing to get what she wants and Maleficent not really sure. I have been fascinated by her since I was a kid. ( way before the movie! J ) I think it’s the black cloke and that really cool staff she carries around J

Favorite Disney Attraction and why? Hand down its Tower of Terror. The theming is unbelievable!!! The rides pretty fun too!

Favorite Disney Resort and why? The Polynesian, castle view room. You can escape back to your resort. Relax on the balcony while watching Tinkerbell fly over the Magic Kingdom and then watch, what seems like, your very own firework show.

Favorite Disney Restaurant and why? Be Our Guest. Your eating in the Beasts castle. Its like being in the movie. I could sit there all day and admire the Imagineering at its best!!!!

Favorite Disney Quick Service Restaurant and why? Flametree BBQ. Its just wonderful! The smell gets you before you even get to the building. You can find a nice quiet table back by the water and enjoy your meal.

3 Disney characters you’d like to have dinner with and why? The Genie because I would like 3 wishes, Prince Eric because he’s pretty dreamy and Olaf because he likes warm hugs J

Favorite Disney snack and why? Dole Whip, nothing else like it ANYWHERE!!! So refreshing and pure Disney!!!

Favorite Disney Movie and why? Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. They are the ultimate fairytales.

3 Favorite Disney Song and why? “Les Poission’s” from The Little Mermaid. I love to sing it while Im cooking. “Are We Dancing” just makes you want to twirl. “Reflection” by Christina Aguilera from Mulan. Its so endearing.

Disney character you’re most similar to and why? Princess Tiana. Because I have had to kiss some frogs before I found my prince.

If you could be one Disney mascot for a day who would it be and why? Cinderella. Some would disagree but to ME she is the Queen of the Magic Kingdom.

If you could work at one of the Disney theme parks, what job would you want and why? I would love to be a VIP Tour guide. You get to walk the parks all day! Your scenery will be constantly changing.

Best part about being a MickeyTravels Disney Travel Agent? I get to help families with their dream vacation. Its so special when my clients will text or call me while on vacation and tell me how much fun they are having.

Why should I book my vacation with you? Because I will treat your vacation like my own. Family time is special and sometimes limited. I do all the work for you so you can be with your family making memories. I leave no detail untouched.

Favorite Disney Restaurant and why? That’s a tough one but I’m going to have to say Kona Café. The food is always so delicious and yet the atmosphere is so relaxing.
