I first went to Orlando as an awkward teenager back in 1999. Like most people, I’d grown up watching Disney classics such as, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, and Robin Hood on VHS. They were always on repeat in our house. I dreamed of walking down Main Street, seeing the castle in real life, and soaking up every bit of magic.

That first trip to Walt Disney World was everything I’d imagined and more. Two weeks of unforgettable memories with my family, moments I still carry with me all these years later.

Since that dream-come-true holiday, I’ve returned to Florida four more times, explored Disneyland Paris six times, and even ticked Disneyland Resort in California off my bucket list. I’ve also experienced the thrills of Universal Studios on both coasts (yes! I did get to ride the original Jaws ride! #gonebutnotforgotten).

I’ve always been fascinated not only by the characters and stories, but by the incredible history and detail behind the parks. I love learning about Walt Disney himself, how his imagination and drive brought so much joy to generations, and all the behind-the-scenes magic that makes Disney, well… Disney.

Over the years, my love for Disney hasn’t faded – it’s grown stronger. That’s how Dreamears Adventures was born. I wanted to turn my passion into something more, something that could help others experience the same joy I’ve found in these magical places. Becoming an independent travel agent gave me the opportunity to do just that.

Now, I get to help families plan their dream holidays. I stay up to date with all the latest Disney news, bingeing park vlogs, and keeping tabs on everything from seasonal treats to new attraction openings. It’s more than a job, it’s something I truly love.
