First memory of Disney? Entering the gates of Magic Kingdom and walking down Main Street USA to Cinderella’s Castle ….. I was 25, my first visit! I cried! …LOL. It took my breath away! It was an amazing moment I will never forget! I had dreamed of visiting Disney World my whole life and my dream had finally come true!

Aulani Hawaii Resort

What makes Disney MAGICAL in your eyes? Magic is all about jaw dropping moments! Disney does it and does it well with perfection! It’s the Disney difference of course! The AMAZING attention to detail and their ability to literally bring to life all of your childhood Disney memories!! Disney has thought of everything! Once entering the gates of Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise ship, Disney’s Aulani Hawaii Resort, or any of the other Disney properties, you are immediately transported to a place where dreams are made of …time stops and you forget about reality! My kind of place!!

Favorite Disney destination and why? Disney World. So much to do and see! Four theme parks, two water parks, lots of resort choices, restaurants, special events, etc. Every trip always brings new experiences and unforgettable memories for the whole family!

Favorite Disney Character and why? Tinkerbell, who would not want an unlimited supply of pixie dust!!

Hollywood Studios

Favorite Disney Attraction and why? Soarin, you actually feel like you are flying!! I have always wanted to fly!! I love the breeze in your face and the smells that are introduced along the journey.

Favorite Disney Resort and why? Beach Club Resort, absolutely love the pool and the proximity to Epcot and Hollywood Studios.

Favorite Disney Restaurant and why? Rose and Crown in the United Kingdom. I am Scottish so it reminds my family of our heritage, especially my 84 year old Mom who was brought up in Scotland. She always has a nice wee chat with the staff and the smile on her face when we leave is priceless! And.. the Fish and Chips are truly amazing of course! It is a must do for my family every visit!

Favorite Disney Quick Service Restaurant and why? Hurricane Hanna’s Grill at the Beach Club Resort Pool!!! Let me just say this….sea salt fries, pulled pork sliders and of course… a Pina CoLAVA!!

MickeyTravels Agent Virtual Meet & Greet – Leanne Phelps

August 26, 2014

MickeyTravels is excited about our new initiative – The MickeyTravels Agent Virtual Meet & Greet. We will feature a different MickeyTravels agent on a daily basis. We’re proud to have the best Disney Travel agents in the world as part of our MickeyTravels team and this will allow you to get to know them even better. Today the spotlight shines on Leanne Phelps from Tulsa, OK!

Name:  Leanne Phelps

Where are you from?  Tulsa, Oklahoma

First memory of Disney?  I grew up loving Disney!  I can’t remember a time when I didn’t love all things Disney!

What makes Disney MAGICAL in your eyes?  I love that Disney movies, characters, parks–everything that Disney does–is geared toward families, not just kids.  I love that my kids and I can enjoy the same things and find magic in them together and the memories we’ve made at the parks!

MickeyTravels Agent Virtual Meet & Greet

Favorite Disney destination and why?  My favorite location is Disney World because I love the castle, the characters, the attractions, and the resorts!  But half of my family loves the cruises the best so our favorite family vacation is a “land and sea” vacation where we do a few days at Disney World followed by a Disney cruise.

Disney World travel agent

Favorite Disney Character and why?  Mickey is my favorite!  He’s classic, timeless, and always the best!

Favorite Disney Attraction and why?  The Kilimanjaro Safari ride at Animal Kingdom is my all time favorite attraction at the parks, followed closely by Toy Story Midway Mania at Hollywood Studios.  Both of these take you way out of the “norm” and give you a special experience.

Favorite Disney Resort and why?  Animal Kingdom Lodge is our family’s favorite resort.  We love watching the animals from our balcony and the overall feel of the resort is cozy and relaxing.

Favorite Disney Restaurant and why?  My favorite place to eat at Disney World is probably ‘Ohana at the Polynesian because the food is great and the atmosphere is so fun!

Favorite Disney Quick Service Restaurant and why?  We always eat at Columbia Harbor House in the Magic Kingdom. We ate there first during a “Keys to the Kingdom” park tour and enjoyed the food, but also the cool, quiet atmosphere of the second floor.  We use it as a great place to unwind and relax in the middle of a Magic Kingdom day.

3 Disney characters you’d like to have dinner with and why? The princesses, of course!  We have dinner with them often at Cinderella’s Royal Table!  We feel like royalty and the princesses are always perfect hostesses!  😉

Hollywood Studios

If you could be one Disney mascot for a day who would it be and why?  I’d love to be anyone in the parade!  The parades are so special and there have been a few times with a look, a wave, or a “connection” of some sort between my kids and a parade participant has made their day!

If you could work at one of the Disney theme parks, what job would you want and why?   I’d love to give tours like the Keys to the Kingdom tour and share Disney history and information with guests that are interested in all things Disney!

Favorite Disney snack and why?  Dole Whip in the Magic Kingdom!  Refreshing and delicious!

Favorite Disney Movie and why?  My favorite was always Beauty and the Beast, but I think now my favorite is Tangled.  I love the witty lines and songs and it’s such a fun movie!

3 Favorite Disney Songs and why?  I love “I’ve Got a Dream” from Tangled (so funny!), Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (from Mary Poppins–energetic and fun!), and It’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (for the ride Carousel of Progress at Magic Kingdom, because it brings good memories!)

Disney character you’re most similar to and why?  I would say Belle because I love to read, love my family, and like to look for the good in others!

Polynesian resort

Best part about being a MickeyTravels Disney Travel Agent?  I love talking Disney every day!  It’s so fun to talk with families about their vacations and have a chance to get excited with them!  I especially love to talk with families who have never been to Disney before because the whole time we are planning, I am picturing what it will be like for them when they get there for the first time and really experience the magic!

Why should I book my vacation with you?  I love helping families plan!  I love answering questions about the parks, cruises, and other destinations.  I want to help families get organized and stay on top of each aspect of their trips so they have the best vacation possible!

Today the spotlight shines on Kim Thompson from Tennessee!

Name: Kim Thompson

Where are you from? Nashville TN

First memory of Disney? 2003 Taking my then, 2 year old and 7 year old and seeing through their eyes.

What makes Disney MAGICAL in your eyes? Its like being in a cartoon. It’s the only place on earth a grown man can walk around with Mickey ears on and no one bats an eye. Its such a family oriented environment its hard to not get involved and wrapped up in the magic of it all. Your truly do feel like a kid. You forget about all the problems and stress on the “outside”.

Favorite Disney destination and why? Walt Disney World in Florida. You can’t replace Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom and all the resort choices!!

Disney World Travel Agent

Favorite Disney Character and why? This is a tough one!! Im torn between Ariel and Maleficent. Two total different characters. Ariel because she’s a bound and determined kinda girl who will stop at nothing to get what she wants and Maleficent not really sure. I have been fascinated by her since I was a kid. ( way before the movie! J ) I think it’s the black cloke and that really cool staff she carries around J

Favorite Disney Attraction and why? Hand down its Tower of Terror. The theming is unbelievable!!! The rides pretty fun too!

Animal Kingdom

Favorite Disney Resort and why? The Polynesian, castle view room. You can escape back to your resort. Relax on the balcony while watching Tinkerbell fly over the Magic Kingdom and then watch, what seems like, your very own firework show.

Favorite Disney Restaurant and why? Be Our Guest. Your eating in the Beasts castle. Its like being in the movie. I could sit there all day and admire the Imagineering at its best!!!!

Favorite Disney Quick Service Restaurant and why? Flametree BBQ. Its just wonderful! The smell gets you before you even get to the building. You can find a nice quiet table back by the water and enjoy your meal.

Disney restaurant

3 Disney characters you’d like to have dinner with and why? The Genie because I would like 3 wishes, Prince Eric because he’s pretty dreamy and Olaf because he likes warm hugs J

Favorite Disney snack and why? Dole Whip, nothing else like it ANYWHERE!!! So refreshing and pure Disney!!!

Favorite Disney Movie and why? Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. They are the ultimate fairytales.

3 Favorite Disney Song and why? “Les Poission’s” from The Little Mermaid. I love to sing it while Im cooking. “Are We Dancing” just makes you want to twirl. “Reflection” by Christina Aguilera from Mulan. Its so endearing.

Disney character you’re most similar to and why? Princess Tiana. Because I have had to kiss some frogs before I found my prince.

Epcot

If you could be one Disney mascot for a day who would it be and why? Cinderella. Some would disagree but to ME she is the Queen of the Magic Kingdom.

If you could work at one of the Disney theme parks, what job would you want and why? I would love to be a VIP Tour guide. You get to walk the parks all day! Your scenery will be constantly changing.

Best part about being a MickeyTravels Disney Travel Agent? I get to help families with their dream vacation. Its so special when my clients will text or call me while on vacation and tell me how much fun they are having.

Why should I book my vacation with you? Because I will treat your vacation like my own. Family time is special and sometimes limited. I do all the work for you so you can be with your family making memories. I leave no detail untouched.
