I first experienced the magic of Disney parks in 1989 as a 5 year old. Because my parents raised us to believe in the magic such a special place could bring, after 30 years, I'm still drinking that koolaid. 

I found myself a mouse loving husband and we are now raising our very own duck loving kiddo! Our first vacation was to Walt Disney World. We got engaged at Cinderella Castle. There is just something about sharing that pure joy together that such a magical place creates that always leads us back Home. And I don't mean the parks as a place are a home. Rather, the feeling in your heart while you are enjoying that time together is Home. Every trip is wonderful and leads to planning the next visit as soon as those wheels are up heading back to Chicago!

​

Aside from many, many family trips, I'm lucky enough to have a job that guarantees at least one trip to the parks every year. I have planned youth group trips to Disney for the past six years, so my Mary Poppins bag of tricks has grown exponentially to be able to create magic for everyone I'm with. I just wanted to have my own thinking spot to document all the fun I've had and share my experience with others that might need help navigating the use of pixie dust. 

​

I hope this is a place where you too can start (or continue) your own magical memories with some helpful insights. Enjoy!
