Expertise
As a seasoned traveler to Walt Disney World, I can answer general or specific questions about all of the attractions including the theme parks, water parks, resorts, Downtown Disney, and dining at and around Disney. I am also a fan of Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure and CityWalk in Orlando. If I can help you with information, I will!

Experience
I have traveled with and without children, stayed on and off-site, have purchased the Disney Vacation Club (Disney's "timeshare")and I love WDW!
