Name: Jennifer Turner
Where are you from? Buford, GA
First memory of Disney? I will always remember by first trip to Disney when I was 6 years old with my grandparents. We went on so many rides, saw so many characters but the most memorable moment was watching the Main Street Electrical Parade on Main Street. Sitting there with my grandparents and seeing the parade for the first time was truly magical!
What makes Disney MAGICAL in your eyes? Everything Disney does brings Magic to everyone no matter how young or old. I think it is the little touches Cast members do that brings that special magic. What makes Disney SO Magical, is when you see the magic through your children’s eyes! It is truly an indescribable moment!
Favorite Disney destination and why? Walt Disney World Resort – specifically Magic Kingdom! I could spend a whole week at Magic Kingdom and ride every one over and over. Magic Kingdom is fun for everyone, has so many options and extra magic!
Favorite Disney Character and why? Alice in Wonderland! I have truly loved Alice in Wonderland since I was little and she has something special about her that brings out so much magic.
Favorite Disney Attraction and why? It’s A Small World – can never get old! I love all the detail (and music) of It’s A Small World. I feel like I am in a different “world” when on the ride and in truly in an imaginary world. This is our #1 ride we Fast Pass when visiting Magic Kingdom.
Favorite Disney Resort and why? All-Star Movies! When walking through All-Star Movies Resort, it truly feels you are part of the movie (especially Toy Story). I love all the attention to detail to the resort decor and all the magic it brings for everyone! It is my children’s favorite resort too! It is a perfect resort for a family looking for kid-friendly, fun and on a budget.
Favorite Disney Restaurant and why? 1900 Park Fare! I truly LOVE 1900 Park Fare, especially at breakfast time. This is the only Disney Restaurant to meet Alice in Wonderland, Mary Poppins and Mad Hatter as part of a character meal. I also love the restaurant decor and the Grand Floridian Resort. 1900 Park Fare is the perfect place to eat breakfast before heading to Magic Kingdom (and you can take a ferry). I highly recommend booking 1900 Park Fare as a Character Dining Choice not only for the location but the special characters you get to meet!
Favorite Disney Quick Service Restaurant and why? Be Our Guest! I prefer to eat at Be Our Guest for Breakfast or Lunch over Dinner for Table Service. Be Our Guest is my families #1 choice for Quick Service as the food is delicious and but most of all the Castle is gorgeous! It truly feels you are living inside of Beauty & the Beast’s Castle, our favorite “room” to eat is of course the dancing hall. All the true attention to detail from the movie was added to Be Our Guest! I highly recommend booking Be Our Guest as a Quick Service Meal for any family.
3 Disney characters you’d like to have dinner with and why? Mickey Mouse, Alice and Mary Poppins. I remember watching the classic Mickey Mouse cartoons growing up and then meeting him for the first time was truly magical. Mickey Mouse is the reason Disney exists and we can never forget that, he is one that I always want to dine with. I have loved Alice from the time the movie came out and seeing her go on an adventure through Wonderland. I have always loved imagination (whether my own as a child or through my kids) because it builds creativity and let’s the mind wander. My love for Alice has extended to my daughter who loves her even more, Alice has a very kind-heart and that is something we should all have. I remember watching Mary Poppins for the first time at my grandparents house when I was in Elementary School. After watching it, I wanted my own Mary Poppins to take me on fun adventures (through the chalk picture on the ground), to pull magical things out of her “bag of tricks” and someone who truly cared about the children she watched. Mary Poppins has a sweet soul and cares for her kids, a very good role model.
Favorite Disney snack and why? My favorite Disney snack is the iconic Mickey Ears Ice Cream bar. I had my first Mickey Ears Ice Cream bar during my first visit to Disney and that tradition has continued with every Disney vacation. It is now one I have passed onto my kids of enjoying a Mickey Ears Ice Cream bar on every Disney Vacation. I know it is a typical vanilla ice cream dipped in chocolate, but what makes it so yummy, it’s Mickey Mouse. Who can’t deny a Mickey Ears Ice Cream bar!
Favorite Disney Movie and why? I have enjoyed so many Disney movies over the years from childhood to now, but one Disney Movie that will always be my all-time favorite is the classic Cinderella. It is the first Disney movie I recall watching as a child and I would watch it over and over again. I love how Cinderella did not let her stepmother & stepsisters ruin her dreams of finding true love & happiness. She perceived, with a little help from her fairy Godmother (don’t we all need one of those) and found her Prince Charming. We should never let someone try to bring us down and stop us from achieving our dreams!
3 Favorite Disney Songs and why? I like songs that have a meaning, can help us inspire each other and our children. My three favorite Disney Songs are “Once Upon A Dream,” “Let It Go,” and “How Far I’ll Go.” All three songs give inspiration and courage to go after our dreams. We all need to go after our dreams, let go of fears & limitations in life and go as far as we can go with amazing support of our friends and family.
Disney character you’re most similar to and why? The character I am most similar to is Snow White, I look nothing like her but we share the same personality traits. She is sweet, comforting, protective, innocent, multi-talented, motherly and orderly. I would have also done the same thing as Snow White did in cleaning the Seven Dwarfs house…I cannot stand a mess.
If you could be one Disney character for a day who would it be and why? If I could be one Disney character for the day, I would chose to be Alice. I love Alice’s funny and creative personality that makes every Character Meet-n-Greet fun. I also would love to have perfect straight blonde hair for a day, lol. But I would honestly love to be any Disney mascot for a day to experience that “magic” when children are meeting their favorite & beloved Disney character for the first time (or even again). This is a truly magical experience and one that they never forget, many memories to last a lifetime.
If you could work at one of the Disney theme parks, what job would you want and why? I would like to work at Magic Kingdom as a photographer for a Disney Character Meet-n-Greet. To be behind the camera and capture pictures of children/guests meeting their favorite Disney Character for the first time (or again), is truly a magical experience. Pictures speak more than a thousand words and to capture a magical moment like that would be priceless!
Best part about being a MickeyTravels Disney Travel Agent? The best part of being a MickeyTravels Disney Travel Agent is being part of creating a special and magical vacation!
