Name: Jennifer Robertson

Where are you from? Tinton Falls, Monmouth County NJ

First memory of Disney? Posing for pictures with a giant lollypop in front of the beautiful mosaics in Cinderella’s Castle

What makes Disney MAGICAL in your eyes? It makes you feel like you are in a protected bubble of fantasy, fun, joy and nuance. It is a true escape from the rest of the world.

Favorite Disney destination and why? All Disney locations are special and amazing, but WDW is my favorite because it is so vast and varied. There is something to interest everyone I have ever traveled with, regardless of age, gender, socioeconomic background and personal interest. There is ALWAYS something new and exciting to discover no matter how often you visit.

Favorite Disney Character and why? Princess Merida: I was so struck with what a strong female role model she was. Her spirit and willingness to “break the mold” was inspiring. She doesn’t look like the typical princess, but she is still strikingly beautiful. Plus I love seeing the little girls walk around the park with the long, wild, red locks wigs.

Favorite Disney Attraction and why? Sorin. I am a chicken when it comes to rides, so once I saw the motion sickness signs, it took me a year or so to try it, (I told you, I am a chicken) but once I did, I was hooked by the beautiful views and free feeling that you get “sorin” in the sky. Who doesn’t want the super power to fly?

Favorite Disney Resort and why? This is tough. I love so many for unique reasons (best pool, view, location)! I would have to say the Beach Club would win. They have THE best sand bottom pool and the ability to walk right into EPCOT or stroll along the water to Hollywood Studios is amazing!

Favorite Disney Restaurant and why? Another tough one. I am a Disney Foodie so my vacation is full of favorite dining! I love Jiko at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. People are very scared to try it, but once they do they are hooked. It is a place where I always try something new, with unique flavors that I have never experienced anywhere else.

Favorite Disney Quick Service Restaurant and why? Casey’s Corner on Main Street in Magic Kingdom is our go to lunch spot when we arrive. They have awesome hot dogs and the old time baseball theme and bleacher seating is fun for the kids. I am looking forward to the expanded seating that they are building now.

3 Disney characters you’d like to have dinner with and why? Mater from Cars because he would make me laugh. Alfredo from Ratatouille because he would bring the yummy food. Belle would be the third because she would provide the interesting conversation.

Favorite Disney snack and why? Homemade ice cream sandwiches!

Favorite Disney Movie and why? The Nightmare Before Christmas- I love the artistry and the message behind the movie. You don’t have to be the best at everything. We all have our own strengths and challenges. Jack failed at Christmas, but that didn’t destroy him. He focused on his strength and thrived. I have never seen a movie that was so creepy, cute and funny all at the same time.

3 Favorite Disney Song and why? 1:“Belle” –My little sister is 14 years younger than me, so when Beauty and the Beast came out, I would use her as an excuse to watch Beauty and the Beast over and over again. I have such fond memories of singing this song to her when she was a baby. 2:“the bare necessities” –This one is from my childhood. I was very close to my grandparents and spent many a day watching old Disney movies. My grandpa passed when I was 10 but one of my favorite memories is him singing this song and me getting a giant bear hug from him at the end. 3:”let it go”- Like the rest of the mom’s of little girls right now, I listen to this song daily. The sound of my 4 year old singing this is extra special for me. My daughter has Down Syndrome and speech has been her challenge. I almost cried the first time I heard her belt out this song from the backseat. Now we do duets in the car every day and she plays Frozen DJ , dictating what track she wants on.

Disney character you’re most similar to and why? Belle. I love to learn and read. I think I can be quiet and reserved, but also very assertive and outgoing when I am passionate about something.

If you could be one Disney mascot for a day who would it be and why? Mickey Mouse of course! I love to hear young kids scream his name when they see him for the first time. Even adults are in awe. Mickey is so classic and he guarantees a special moment.

If you could work at one of the Disney theme parks, what job would you want and why? I would love to be a driver at the Kilimanjaro Safari at Animal Kingdom. I love looking at the animals and the fact that no ride is ever the same.

Best part about being a MickeyTravels Disney Travel Agent? Getting to add magic to people’s lives. Everyone I have ever helped with a trip, comes back with photos, happy memories and gratitude for walking them through it all.

Why should I book my vacation with you? I will care about your vacation almost as much as you! I am super eager and excited to share my Disney expertise and take all the guess work away from you. Together we will figure out your “vacation style” and personalize your Disney experience. I want you to say, wow that was easy, now all I have to do is have FUN!
