First memory of Disney? Traveling with my family in an RV and staying at Fort Wilderness campsites. Riding Thunder Mountain and laughing the whole time.
What makes Disney MAGICAL in your eyes? I’ve been going to Disney World since the late 70’s and since been there over 30 times. It melts my heart each and every time I enter through the turnstiles at the Magic Kingdom when the cast member greets you with the expression have a “Magical Day”. The view Of Cinderella’s castle while walking down Main Street is a sight one never forgets. All the memories past and present come rushing in at that time. How can you not get filled with excitement with the adventure that awaits you? You can escape all your everyday worries in life and return to childhood. Wear crazy Disney hats and shirts and no worrying what others will say! You’re free to be a kid again!

3 Disney characters you’d like to have dinner with and why? Tarzan, he was brought into this world with so little fortune and despair but still became a great man and person.

She instills values and lessons that all families strive for and achieve.

Brave’s~ Touch the Sky~ Merida has no fear and will go on adventure and come out learning more then she did prior to it. She follows her dreams no matter what obstacles stand in her way.
Disney character you’re most similar to and why? This was hard, I asked my husband, which he responded ” Cinderella” , because she endured so much and maintained her composure and heart felt love for her friends and family.

Best part about being a MickeyTravels Disney Travel Agent? Having a hand in those magical memories that all my clients experience. Sharing my memories and hearing theirs when they return. I love the way Disney brings a smile to my face and I want all my clients to feel the same way.
Why should I book my vacation with you? I’m honest and knowledgeable. I eat, sleep and breathe Disney . It runs through my veins. I love the feeling of helping people whom never gone and those who have been many times learn something new and share my wealth of knowledge. I always tell my clients I’m there for them before, during and after any trip they plan with me. My clients are treated all the same and I plan trips for them as if they were my own. Giving them the best price and concierge service.
