I’m a Disney Cruise–obsessed travel agent with Travelmation, a Castaway Club Gold Member, and a mom of three adventurous boys who’ve grown up knowing that the best days start with Mickey waffles and end with fireworks at sea.

I’ve explored 33 countries, lived abroad in the Netherlands, and sailed enough Disney itineraries to know all the secret spots, must-try treats, and magical moments waiting on every ship.
