Name: Genevieve Buck
Where are you from? Portsmouth, NH
First memory of Disney? Visiting with my grandparents in the early 80s and riding Dumbo with my grandfather, I think he enjoyed it as much as I did! I can still see his smile, he loved bringing his grandchildren to the Magic Kingdom.
What makes Disney MAGICAL in your eyes? Disney is magical to me because it is such a fun easy vacation. They take care of you from the moment you arrive at the airport to the moment you leave. Making it easy to travel with children and large groups! It doesn’t matter if you’re in line for a character or grabbing a quick bit to eat. All the cast members I have come across are always smiling and so helpful! It makes the happiness contagious!
Favorite Disney destination and why? Walt Disney World is my first love, but after a recent Disney Cruise, the cruise line has crept to the top spot. My family had such a magical time on the Disney cruise. We enjoyed everything from the movies by the pool, to the nightly shows, to the cast members waiting on us every evening, it was simply amazing! Castaway Cay had to be the best day ever. It is a beautiful island with endless activities. We loved running the 5k in the morning and snorkeling in the afternoon. The food was also so tasty. We cannot wait to go back.
Favorite Disney Character and why? My favorite Disney character besides Mickey and Minnie is Cinderella. I just loved how no matter what happened she remained positive and is always kind to everyone, all the while never giving up on her dreams.
Favorite Disney Attraction and why? My absolute favorite Disney attraction is Splash Mountain. I love the story, music, and the splash at the end! It is a must do every time I am there, maybe twice.
Favorite Disney Resort and why? Out of all the Disney resorts I have stayed in my favorite is the Boardwalk. I love the room style and over all theme of the resort. It is a gorgeous place!! Plus, you cannot beat that location! I love being next to Epcot. After a long day of touring the countries of Epcot, walking back to the Boardwalk and take in the night life is so fun. The nightly entertainment is a nice way to end the day, filled with laughter, and magic.
Favorite Disney Restaurant and why? Chefs de France in Epcot is my favorite! The food and the service is amazing!!!
Favorite Disney Quick Service Restaurant and why? Tangierine Cafe in Morocco is my go to quick service place. I love their choices. I feel like I can eat healthy while on vacation, yet still have a delicious lunch or dinner.
3 Disney characters you’d like to have dinner with and why? If I could have dinner with three characters my first choice would be Tiana because I am sure she would cook up a yummy meal. My other two characters would be Mickey and Goofy! I think that dinner would be full of laughter and so much fun.
Favorite Disney snack and why? My all-time favorite Disney snack is the Nutella waffle you can get at Sleepy Hallow in the Magic Kingdom. Ok this thing is huge and more like a meal but it is so worth every calorie!!
Favorite Disney Movie and why? My all-time favorite Disney movie is Fantasia. I have always loved this movie. The variety of animation and music flows so well. I love the unique stories throughout the movie.
3 Favorite Disney Songs and why? My first love is Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah such a fun upbeat song. Plus, it reminds me of my favorite ride. The Bare Necessities is my second favorite Disney tune, I absolutely love The Jungle Book and this is a favorite scene of mine. Plus, I always thought Baloo the bear was the coolest character. My third favorite song is When you Wish Upon a Star. Even though it is a slower song it is still a happy tune and makes me smile every time I hear it.
Disney character you’re most similar to and why? I am a big fan of winter, the cold never bothers me! So I would have to say I am most like Elsa. Now if I could just whip up some snow like she does I would be happy.
If you could be one Disney mascot for a day who would it be and why? I would be Cinderella, because 1. I love her dress. It has always been a favorite of mine. 2. To see the wonder on a child’s face and make dreams come true would be a blast. Also she has the coolest carriage in the parade.
If you could work at one of the Disney theme parks, what job would you want and why? I would love to be one of the Disney bakers. To be able to have the talent to make the yummiest treats and be surrounded by the smells all day would be amazing, and delicious!
Best part about being a MickeyTravels Disney Travel Agent? I absolutely love listening to vacation plans and help make that happen! It could be a first visit or a 20th I get so excited for families who are heading on a Disney vacation.
Why should I book my vacation with you? You should book with me because I treat every vacation like it is my own. I love to research things for people and help everyone out. If you have items on your wish list I love to try and make those happen. I love to listen to what you want for your Disney vacation. Everyone is different and Disney offers so many wonderful things, it is always fun to plan a trip of any kind.
