I was first introduced to a Disney park when I was in 1st grade. My family moved to southern California and we went to Disneyland frequently. It was then I fell in love with all things Disney. After moving back east, I started going to Disney World and have gone there countless times in the past 20 years. My family has gone at least once a year in the last 8 years, since my youngest was an infant. I have been lucky enough to spend a month of my winters in the Kissimmee area the last couple of years. Disney has become a big part of my family's life. My 2 children have grown up going to Disney World, Disneyland and their favorite, Disney Cruise Line. But Disney can be overwhelming! I love helping people with their vacations; I will help alleviate your worries and lead you in the right direction. I can do as much of the planning, or as little, to make your vacation as magical and memorable as possible. If you want a true Disney lover to help plan your dream vacation, you have found her.

My love of Disney started at a young age watching Disney Movies at home on Sunday evenings with my family. The more experience I have with Disney World the more I fall in love with it. I have two family members with food issues and Disney is so accommodating that it makes our vacations pleasurable. As a stay at home mom of two teenage boys being a CastleChat vacation planner is a great opportunity for me to help others plan their dream vacations. I love Disney and spreading my love of Disney by helping others with their plans.
