Name: Stephanie Matt
Where are you from? Saint Louis, Missouri
First memory of Disney? When I went to Disneyland at 9 years old, I fell in love with rollercoasters because of Space Mountain! The first princess I met there was Snow White, and my favorite meal was at Rainforest Café!
What makes Disney MAGICAL in your eyes? The perfect theming, decorations, and attention to detail. I truly feel like I’ve entered a whole new, magical world in every “land” and every park! But more than anything – the Magic Kingdom fireworks. Hands down!
Favorite Disney destination and why? My favorite is Disney World – there’s so much to do and see, amazing restaurants, unforgettable shows and entertainment, and nonstop fun! I can’t get enough of it!
Favorite Disney Character and why? Definitely Dory. She may be forgetful, but she is always kind and always trying to help others and make others happy!
Favorite Disney Attraction and why? Space Mountain – it was the first rollercoaster I fell in love with and it’s still my favorite to this day!
Favorite Disney Resort and why? Coronado Springs – it’s moderate in terms of budget, has an awesome pool/pool bar/hot tub, has a fitness room and lap pool, GREAT food, and a coffee bar. It has everything my family needs!
Favorite Disney Restaurant and why? California Grill – amazing food, a view of the fireworks at night from up above, and a great lounge/bar area. Perfect for a date night or family celebration!
Favorite Disney Quick Service Restaurant and why? Flametree BBQ in Animal Kingdom. The St. Louis ribs are based off my hometown, and everything there is delicious. Well worth the cost! But Colmbia Harbour House in Magic Kingdom is a close second!
3 Disney characters you’d like to have dinner with and why? 1. Genie because he’s awesome. 2. Gaston because he would be hilarious to argue with. 3. Olaf because he would be so funny!
Favorite Disney snack and why? Anything at Epcot Food & Wine Festival. Enough said.
Favorite Disney Movie and why? Finding Nemo. The story and music make my heart happy every time! It never gets old!
3 Favorite Disney Songs and why? All three of these are on my runDisney marathon training list because they’re so inspiring and empowering! “Go the Distance” from Hercules, “How Far I’ll Go” from Moana, and “Let it Go” (don’t hate me) from Frozen.
Disney character you’re most similar to and why? Probably Rapunzel – I get distracted by pretty, sparkly things and I’m just excited for any adventure!
If you could be one Disney character for a day who would it be and why? Tinkerbell – so I could fly and give pixie dust out so others can fly too!
If you could work at one of the Disney theme parks, what job would you want and why? EASY to answer. I would be the Tinkerbell that gets to zip line across the park in a light-up dress and wings.
Best part about being a MickeyTravels Disney Travel Agent? Another easy question to answer – there’s nothing I enjoy more than making people happy. Helping people plan magical vacations of their dreams is amazing – whether it’s a family trip, a honeymoon or couples trip, a group of friends, or a group of runners accomplishing a race goal. I’m so thankful to be able to do this!!
Why should I book my vacation with you? Because the reason I do this is to make you happy – to make your dream vacation a reality. I want to know what’s important to you for your trip, use my planning process to get everything prepared, and then make a magical, unforgettable vacation happen for you. You can be as involved or uninvolved in planning with me as you like – and my help is always free!
