Name: Jennifer Grimes

Where are you from? Charlotte, NC

First memory of Disney? I was 8 on my first trip, and I remember watching the parade while wearing my Mickey ears (with my name stitched on the back of them) while eating a Mickey Mouse ice cream bar.

What makes Disney MAGICAL in your eyes? Everything! From the rides, to the fireworks, to the parades, and to every little experience, the attention to detail and excellence is evident. I especially love how my kids light up when they are there and how they are treated like a prince and princesses. Our family makes magical memories at Disney.

Favorite Disney destination and why? The Magic Kingdom because it’s perfect and magical.

Favorite Disney Character and why? Cinderella is my favorite character because she is nice to her stepmother and stepsisters even when they are not nice to her; she is a true princess. And, because she has her own castle!

Favorite Disney Attraction and why? Mickey’s Philharmagic and Fantasmic are my two favorite attractions. They both sum up the magic of Disney in just a few minutes. I can’t go to Disney World without seeing both of these attractions.

Favorite Disney Resort and why? The Wilderness Lodge is my favorite deluxe because of its proximity to Magic Kingdom. I also love the décor and the pool. My favorite moderate is Port Orleans-French Quarter because of the New Orleans feel and the beautiful landscaping. Art of Animation is my favorite value because of the amazing pool and the fun Disney décor.

Favorite Disney Restaurant and why? I love Flying Fish on Disney’s Boardwalk; the food is excellent and sophisticated, and the service is superb. The Tusker House is by far my favorite character meal because of the African flare of the food, and because you can’t beat meeting Donald (#1), Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy while eating your meal!

Favorite Disney Quick Service Restaurant and why? Anything in Epcot’s World Showcase because it is so fun to try international foods.

3 Disney characters you’d like to have dinner with and why? What, pick three? I can only narrow it down to 5. I would choose Flynn Rider (Eugene Fitzherbert), Rapunzel, Tiana, Prince Naveen, and Charlotte. Their stories are the right mix of adventure, romance, intrigue, and humor. Every time I watch those movies I am on the edge my seat, laughing, and feeling sentimental. Plus, they are just really great stories, and the characters would be great to spend an evening with- especially Charlotte and Flynn Rider, they crack me up!

Favorite Disney snack and why? Of course it is a Mickey Mouse ice cream bar!

Favorite Disney Movie and why? I love all of the Disney movie so much, but I think one of my favorites has to be Fun and Fancy Free. It has Mickey, Donald, and Goofy in it, and it Mickey is voiced by Walt Disney himself!

3 Favorite Disney Songs and why? “So This is Love” because Cinderella sings beautifully, “I Had a Dream” from Tangled because it is so well written and funny, and “Pretty Irish Girl” from Darby O’Gill and the Little People, because it is such a sweet song and Sean Connery sings it!

Disney character you’re most similar to and why? I think I would choose Rapunzel because she likes a little adventure, she is determined, and she is loyal.

If you could be one Disney mascot for a day who would it be and why? Mary Poppins because I could be Practically Perfect in Every Way for a day, and I would really like to wear her white and red dress.

If you could work at one of the Disney theme parks, what job would you want and why? I think I would be happy with any job at Disney, but I being a Photopass person would be something I would like to do. I would get to be outside and in the parks, and I would get to capture the guests magical memories.

Best part about being a MickeyTravels Disney Travel Agent? Most definitely the best part is helping my clients create magical memories at the Happiest Place on Earth!

Why should I book my vacation with you? I treat every vacation like it is my own, because I know how magical a Disney trip is. My family has made such wonderful memories at Disney, and I want all my clients to have the same experience. I also will plan every aspect of a Disney vacation, down to the smallest detail.

First memory of Disney? As a small child camping near WDW. Then we moved to the Orlando area when I was a teenager and I spent many days at Walt Disney World!

What makes Disney MAGICAL in your eyes? The Characters!! When I see Mickey I go nuts. I get his autograph and get my picture kissing Mickey! I love the interaction with all the princesses and face characters also. Talking to them about their stories is so much fun. It makes the experience!

Favorite Disney destination and why? Walt Disney World; there is so much to see and do. We usually spend 10+ days and fill every day with magical memories! We have a goal to try to find something new to do each trip.

Favorite Disney Character and why? Mickey Mouse — I just love his personality! Several years ago at Garden Grill I was posing with him for a picture and he turned and wiggled his nose and kissed me and it just stole my heart. He has been my favorite ever since.

Favorite Disney Attraction and why? Finding Nemo the Musical. The puppetry by the cast is amazing. The singing and acting is unmatched. It is not only my favorite but a family favorite. This show gives me goosebumps every time I see it! When the cast interacts you can tell there is a true love for one another.

Favorite Disney Resort and why? We love Pop Century. It holds a special place in our hearts. We like the value and really like that it has its own bus line. And there’s nothing like seeing the giant character statues throughout the resort. Every stay is always a Hippy Dippy great time!

Favorite Disney Restaurant and why? Fairytale Dining at Cinderella’s Royal Table. Dining in Cinderella Castle is just amazing. Walking up the spiral staircase is so exciting and then you enter the royal dining area. You truly feel like a queen and king with this dining experience and you get a free photo! You can also request to sit by the window for an extraordinary view of the carousel!

Disney Quick Service Restaurant and why? Starring Rolls Cafe. The sandwiches are huge and delicious, and the chocolate peanut butter cupcake is out of this world!

3 Disney characters you’d like to have dinner with and why? Anna, Rapunzel and Mrs. Incredible. Who doesn’t think this would be an amazing conversation with these determined, focused, and optimistic women?

Favorite Disney snack and why? LeFou’s Brew at Gaston’s Tavern. It is absolutely delicious and cools you off on a hot day.

3 Favorite Disney Songs and why?

When You Wish Upon a Star – You are never too old to wish upon a star.

In the Big Blue World – I adore the Finding Nemo the Musical soundtrack. Every time I hear this song in particular I see the stage and all the beautiful puppets and props.

Spectromagic Parade Song – We listen to this often and relive the memories of our all time favorite Disney parade.

Disney character you’re most similar to and why? Tinkerbell; I have taken multiple personality quizzes and this is who I get, LOL. I am adventurous, loving and loyal.

If you could be one Disney mascot for a day who would it be and why? Minnie Mouse; it would be so much fun being the “First Lady of WDW.”

If you could work at one of the Disney theme parks, what job would you want and why? To be a Disney Princess. I would absolutely adore seeing all the little girls dressed up in their princess dresses and watching their eyes light up when they see the princess in “real life” — awwww heartwarming!!

Best part about being a MickeyTravels Disney Travel Agent? It is so wonderful helping others plan their Disney vacations with as much passion as I would plan my own. It is fulfilling to hear how magical their experience was and that is how I know my job was well done!!

Why should I book my vacation with you? I absolutely LOVE what I do! Whether you are interested in the Disney Cruise or the parks, are traveling with all adults, infants or toddlers to teens I want to customize a vacation to meet your family’s every need!

Favorite Disney Character and why? Cinderella. She was a regular girl who believed in fairy tales, and her fairy tale came true

Favorite Disney Attraction and why? Rock n’ Roller coaster. Maybe it’s a Boston/Aerosmith thing…but that first take off that takes your breath away is so much fun.

Favorite Disney Resort and why? Port Orleans Riverside. It is so quiet and peaceful. When you get back to the resort after a day in the parks it is the perfect resort to just kick back and relax it. Yeehaw Bob is really fun too!

Disney character you’re most similar to and why? I like to think Belle, I’ve always loved reading and I’m definitely more of a quite soft spoken person, but I do stand up for myself when needed
