Hello, there! I’m a homeschooling mom of three, art and science nerd, gamer (both video and tabletop – don’t make me choose!), and a total Disney geek. Sharing my experiences with the Disney Parks is a passion of mine. My hope is that the knowledge, tips, and tricks I share will help others have less anxiety and plan the vacation of their dreams.
I try to visit the parks at -least- every other year to keep up-to-date on updates and new experiences. My next trip is planned for 2022.
My Traveling Party’s Experience Includes
- Plus-Size Perspective: I’m 5’6″ and currently wear between a 3-5x and I have been plus-size for as long as I can remember. EVERYTHING I say about a ride or venue is from a plus-size perspective. Will I fit on the rides? How’s the seating situation at this restaurant? I can help put your mind at ease now: more than likely you’re gonna fit most places.
- Disabilities: I personally have a form of dysautonomia and two autoimmune disorders. I also have mobility issues that vary in severity from day-to-day, so I sometimes use a rollator. My wife has Crohn’s disease. Other family members I’ve traveled with have sensory processing issues, mobility problems, and heart conditions, among other things. I can speak to how the Disability Access Service (DAS) works for us.
- Special Diets and Food Allergies: Our family includes one person with celiac disease and three with severe food allergies (myself included!), so we’ve got some experience navigating Disney Dining with food restrictions.
- Multi-Generational Trips and Babies: I’ve traveled with four generations at once, all the way from a one-year-old (multiple times!) to their great-grandma. I can share what worked for us, plus I have knowledge of the Baby Care Centers and experience with nursing in the parks.
