Walt Disney World (Birthday Trip with my mom!)

Mom to a toddler and everything Disney Enthusiast!

Hi I'm Colleen!

I've been going to Walt Disney World since I was five years old and since then I have been a huge fan of not only the Disney theme parks but Universal and amusement parks in general.

I remember my first visit fairly well as it cemented my love of everything Disney. I recall feeding the Ibis (white birds commonly seen around Disney World property)on our patio while staying at the Polynesian Village Resort. We watched the fireworks above Magic Kingdom on the resort beach at night, I rode the Tower of Terror and loved it so much I made my dad ride it again right after getting off. I remember meeting Chip and Dale at breakfast and experiencing so much magic during that first special trip. 

Since then I have been back to Walt Disney World several times, experiencing new things and learning so much about the parks and how to make the most of every visit. I am fortunate to have the perspective of traveling to Disney World in a variety of ways such as with a large group, solo and with small children.

Recently I took my toddler son to Disney World for the first time in September, 2024. Seeing him experiencing the characters, riding attractions and watching the fireworks was an incredible experience as a mom, and reminded me of the joy and magic I felt as a child. 

I am always keeping up to date with the news around Walt Disney World, new attractions, closing dates, hotels and deals. I love planning trips, often creating itineraries for fun and experimenting with different times of year and hotels to maximize budgets. 

I wanted to become a travel planner in order to help others create their dream vacations, personalized for their individual and unique preferences and needs.

I hope to be able to help you and your family discover the magic of Walt Disney World and have the best possible time at many other locations, creating memories for years to come!
