Today the spotlight shines on Jill Dowling from Maryland!

Name: Jill Dowling

Where are you from? I grew up in New Jersey, currently living in Maryland, who knows where the future will take me!

First memory of Disney? Walking through the Magic Kingdom next to my mom when I was 3 years old and she stopped and said, “Jill, where is your Daisy hat?” It was on her head and we all had a good laugh. I still have that Daisy Duck hat!

What makes Disney MAGICAL in your eyes? The detail that Disney puts into its parks makes you feel like you have been transported to another time and place. A Disney vacation always feels carefree, despite whatever else is going on in your life. Seeing my children experience Disney World for the first time provided a whole new level of magic for me!

Favorite Disney destination and why? Disney World will always be my favorite Disney destination. Although Disney Cruise Line is the most relaxing vacation, you can’t beat the magic of the parks.

Favorite Disney Character and why? So hard to pick just one! I’m a fan of the Princesses since I have two daughters… Merida, Pocahontas, Rapunzel, and Belle. I love their strong, confident personalities.

Favorite Disney Attraction and why? Tower of Terror and Splash Mountain. They are both the perfect mix of storytelling and thrill ride.

Favorite Disney Resort and why? Beach Club Resort because it is elegant with the perfect touch of Disney décor. And of course the amazing pool areas!

Favorite Disney Restaurant and why? ‘Ohana. Love the family style breakfast with characters. Dinner has a great relaxed vibe and I love going out onto the Polynesian’s beach after dinner to watch Wishes!

Favorite Disney Quick Service Restaurant and why? La Cantina De San Angel in Epcot because Mexican is my absolute favorite cuisine! Plus, Mexican food is easy to eat on-the-go.

3 Disney characters you’d like to have dinner with and why? Mickey because, duh, he’s Mickey Mouse! Alice because she was so fun and quirky to meet in Disney World and I think a tea party with her would be just lovely! And Anna because I’d want to ask her how she and Elsa are handling their newfound fame.

Favorite Disney snack and why? Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bar. The perfect quick treat to beat the heat.

Favorite Disney Movie and why? I used to watch Cinderella with my mom over and over again as a child so it will always hold a special spot in my heart.

Favorite Disney Song and why? I get chills every time I hear The Circle of Life!

Disney character you’re most similar to and why? My husband says Goofy because of my silly personality.

If you could be one Disney mascot for a day who would it be and why? Jasmine because she seems to have the most comfortable costume for the Florida heat.

If you could work at one of the Disney theme parks, what job would you want and why? Flying Tinker Bell during Wishes! Sounds like the most fun job riding the zip line each night and starting off the most spectacular fireworks show!

Best part about being a MickeyTravels Disney Travel Agent? Helping make people’s Disney dreams come true and being a part of a team that is always there to support each other. I get to think and talk about Disney 24/7 for my job! How did I get so lucky?!

Why should I book my vacation with you? Because I work tirelessly to make my client’s trips as magical as possible. A Disney vacation is expensive and it can be stressful planning a Disney trip. It is my goal to make the planning process easy and fun and help my clients make the very most of their time and money on their Disney vacations.
