Today the spotlight shines on Brooke Elder from Maine!

Where are you from?  I am from a small town near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina but currently live in Raymond, Maine.

First memory of Disney?  My first memory of Disney is from when I was around 4 and my entire family took a trip to Walt Disney World in 1989. I loved seeing Mickey’s birthday parade and still sing ‘America Loves You Mickey Mouse’ to this day!!

What makes Disney MAGICAL in your eyes? Every single aspect of Disney makes it magical. From the detail in the costumes to hidden Mickey’s at every destination, from dancing on Main Street in a parade to each dedicated Cast Member, Disney can make dreams come true. When you are at Disney, be it Disney World, Disneyland or a Disney Cruise, you can feel the magic. It’s as though anything can happen at any time!!

Favorite Disney destination and why?  My favorite Disney destination will always be the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando. Being from SC, it was only a few hours away. I’ll never forget going as a child and then the first time I was able to take my own children. It has and will forever hold a special place in my heart.

Favorite Disney Character and why?  My all-time favorite Disney character is Stitch! I have seen Lilo and Stitch hundreds of times and he always makes me laugh. The personality that he possesses is a work of art. I actually sleep with a Stitch pillow pet that my children gave me for my birthday a few years ago!

Favorite Disney Attraction and why?  I can really only pick one?? That’s hard!! I guess it would have to be the classic Pirates of the Caribbean at Magic Kingdom. I love the story, the details and the imagination. It’s also a nice ride to cool off on when it’s hot out! Other favorites include Kilimanjaro Safari at Animal Kingdom and the World Showcase at Epcot.

Favorite Disney Resort and why?  I absolutely love the Polynesian Resort. You feel as though you are on a tropical island in the middle of the Pacific and never have to leave Orlando. The beach there is the perfect place to watch the fireworks at Magic Kingdom and the monorail is so convenient!

Favorite Disney Restaurant and why?  My favorite Disney Restaurant is O’hana at the Polynesian Resort. I always have breakfast with Lilo and Stitch before I leave Disney. My trip is not complete until I have my photo taken with Stitch! The character interactions while you dine and delicious food is also a plus!!

Favorite Disney Quick Service Restaurant and why?  Our family favorite quick service restaurant is definitely Casey’s Corner on Main Street. It is quick, convenient and delicious! Their hot dogs are amazing!

3 Disney characters you’d like to have dinner with and why?  I would love to sit down with Olaf, Stitch and Mushu. Just for entertainment purposes!!

Favorite Disney snack and why?  Dole Whip, self-explanatory!

Favorite Disney Movie and why?  Obviously Lilo and Stitch made the top of this list but I also love Wreck It Ralph (along with the classic princess movies). My kids and I can sit down and watch Ralph any time and never get bored. We always get up and dance at the end when ‘When Can I See You Again’ begins!

3 Favorite Disney Songs and why?  There’s so many!! A Tale as Old as Time from Beauty and the Beast, Let It Go from Frozen and I See the Light from Tangled are ones that I find myself humming and singing just because.

Disney character you’re most similar to and why?  Probably Rapunzel because she is cautious with new experiences but spirited and adventurous enough to go for them.

If you could be one Disney character for a day who would it be and why?  I’d love to be Cinderella for a day so I could wear a beautiful dress and hang out in a castle.

If you could work at one of the Disney theme parks, what job would you want and why?  I would absolutely love to be a performer in one of the parades! I enjoy going out and having a great time during the Move It! Shake It! Dance and Play It! Parade, probably more so than my kids!

Best part about being a MickeyTravels Disney Travel Agent?  Being able to make a family’s dreams come true is the best part about being a MickeyTravels Disney Travel Agent. From first time visitors that don’t have Disney favorites yet to seasoned pros that know exactly what they want, I LOVE making it all happen for them.

Why should I book my vacation with you?  I am 100% dedicated to making your Disney vacation MAGICAL! From hard to get dining reservations and fast passes to figuring out your dream days at Disney, I strive to make everything about your trip perfect. I work non-stop on every detail and am always available anytime you have questions. Making Magic One Vacation at a Time is not just a saying to me, it is my passion!
