I grew up playing or working at Disney World in Florida. Living in Orlando, I was surrounded by the Disney magic. I selected to participate in the Disney College Program and worked as a lifeguard at Typhoon Lagoon. 

I also worked at Disney World at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Tower of Terror, Beauty and the Beast, and Fantasmic! After college, I continued my love of Disney by starting an online travel company (Destinations to Explore) specializing in Orlando vacations.

I wanted to share my love of Disney World and Disney Cruise with families from around the world. 25 years later, Destinations to Explore is still a top seller of Orlando travel.

I have been featured in numerous media outlets as a travel advisor and travel expert including Disney’s Family Fun, Traveling Mom, National Geographic, TripAdvisor, and Today. I have been cast for Disney+ and Travel Channel shows. I have also been featured in a SeaWorld Orlando commercial, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (filmed at Universal Studios), and numerous Disney World and Disney Cruise marketing materials with my family.

As you can see, I love Disney and planning family vacations to Disney World and Disney Cruise. Do you want to take a guess how many times I have been to Disney World? LOL! I stopped counting at 1,000! I have also been on over 30 Disney Cruises.

I have a lot of knowledge of Disney World and Disney Cruise that I would love to share with you. I know it can be overwhelming to plan a family vacation. I know all of the hotels, restaurants, shops, attractions, and more to help you plan an incredible family vacation.
