Amanda Bakken – New Hampshire Disney Travel Agent

I had one of those 90’s Disney kid’s childhoods, repeatedly watching The Little Mermaid and The Lion King on VHS and singing along at the top of my lungs. So needless to say, my Disney passion started early. My older siblings also instilled in me a love of everything Star Wars. I would watch the movies weekly, and read all of the Star Wars novels I could find.

My first trip to Walt Disney World was with my grandparents when I was very young, so I only remember glimpses of this trip, but I can never forget the magical feeling. In college I scraped together every penny I had to afford a few trips with friends. And once I had real adult money I started dragging my now husband to the parks and even convinced him to buy a vacation home in Titusville, FL so we could visit more regularly. After that we would drive down for a week or more from our home in New England, or I would fly down with friends for a girls trip several weeks a year.

Now I am beyond excited to share my love of Disney with my children. I took our daughter on her first trip to Disney World when she was just a little over a year and I convinced her Nana to come with us. Little did Nana know, I planned this trip just so my daughter and I could surprise her with the news that our daughter was being promoted to Big Sister! It was a classic Disney magical memory.

And while I love traveling in general, I keep finding myself traveling to Disney more than anywhere else. I still feel that magic every time I visit, and it’s a feeling like nothing else.

Currently, I live in southern New Hampshire with my husband, our little Princess and Prince, our dog, and our two cats. I graduated from The University of Massachusetts Amherst with a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science, set to pursue my love for animals as a career. I worked in the veterinary field for many years before leaving to open my own personalized in-home pet care and dog walking business. However, when we welcomed our second child it was time for me to step back from my very busy business and put my energy into caring for our two young children. And now that also allows me to focus on a new career, embracing one of my earliest passions, everything Disney.
