MickeyTravels is excited to bring back The MickeyTravels Agent Virtual Meet & Greet! We will 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 Stephanie Lawless from Denver, CO!

Name:  Stephanie Lawless

Where are you from?  I am originally from the Syracuse area in Central New York, but have moved around a bit due to my husband’s career as a trauma surgeon, so I spent 5 years living in Allentown PA, followed by 3 years in Houston TX, and have finally settled comfortably in Denver, Colorado. The beauty of the situation is, no matter where I live, I’m only a plane ride away from Disney!

First memory of Disney?  My first visit was the weekend I graduated from High School in 2000, and I was so excited I couldn’t sleep the night before we left! Animal Kingdom had just opened and I couldn’t wait to get there! I even got to meet Baloo and King Louie which was my first ever Meet and Greet experience! Plus I got the see the giant 2000 display on Spaceship Earth at Epcot, it was so magical!

What makes Disney MAGICAL in your eyes? The ability to be transported into a different world once you walk through the gates. You leave all the worries you have behind you as you are transported into all these magical adventures and stories. You feel like a kid again, and it’s a wonderfully freeing feeling!

Favorite Disney destination and why? I love Epcot at Walt Disney World because there is something so fun about being immersed in the World Showcase, and going around from country to country; each with it’s own sights sounds, smells and touches of magic! I love trying new food and drink at the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival every Fall too!

Favorite Disney Character and why?  Mickey Mouse, because he started it all

Favorite Disney Attraction and why?  Space Mountain because I absolutely love all the surprising twists and turns you experience in the dark!

Favorite Disney Resort and why? Wilderness Lodge, because I love the feeling of being outdoors, and having the feeling of being in a giant lodge in the middle of the woods. Taking the boat to Magic Kingdom is such a wonderful experience too!

Favorite Disney Restaurant and why?  Le Cellier, because the filet with mushroom risotto and the pretzel rolls they serve are all to die for!

Favorite Disney Quick Service Restaurant and why?  Columbia Harbour House, because I love the fish and chips!

3 Disney characters you’d like to have dinner with and why? Belle, so we could discuss the books we’ve read recently; Gaston, because I just feel I would laugh and roll my eyes the whole time no matter what he had to say, and Tinkerbell, because she’s always so interested in the human world, I feel we would have a lot to talk about!

Favorite Disney snack and why? White Chocolate Covered Caramel Apples- preferably in the form of Olaf 🙂

Favorite Disney Movie and why?  Beauty and the Beast has been my absolute favorite since I was a child. I found the music and the story so enchanting. To this day I have to sing along at the top of my lungs!

3 Favorite Disney Songs and why?  Baby Mine: Dumbo, Friend Like Me: Aladdin, Belle: Beauty and the Beast

Disney character you’re most similar to and why? Probably Belle, because I always have my nose stuck in a book 😉

If you could be one Disney mascot for a day who would it be and why? Daisy, because she seems sassy, and I think she would be a blast to play.

If you could work at one of the Disney theme parks, what job would you want and why? I would love to be a PhotoPass Photographer, helping family capture those magical memories!

Best part about being a MickeyTravels Disney Travel Agent? Getting to talk about Disney ALL the time, and helping families navigate their first trip to the parks like pros! I love seeing their trip photos because it makes me realize how much I love what I do when I see them having the time of their lives.

Why should I book my vacation with you? I give your vacation the royal treatment, as if it were my own vacation. You may even learn a few tricks and tips from my own personal experiences of having been to Disneyland, Walt Disney World, as well as on the Disney Cruise Line. My family likes to travel to Disney multiple times a year, and I feel that keeps me up to date with all the changes and magical enhancements Disney makes. It’s good to have a Travel Agent like me on your side when you’re trying to navigate the ever-changing world of Disney 😉
