OUR MISSION

I grew up in southern California.  So we went to Disneyland as a kid quite often.  I have memories in those blue plastic strollers and my dad’s arms around me the first time I rode Star Tours, and even just sitting on the curb of Main Street USA eating a chocolate banana.  

Then as I became an adult I started to create new memories bringing my boyfriend (now husband) on our first trip to Disney.  When I lost a child to miscarriage in the second trimester, I found it hard to function.  I owned my own business and had two small children, so I knew I needed to keep moving. 

So I planned a trip to Disney- because I really just needed a little joy in my future.  On that trip, I made some of my favorite memories with my kids.  With my daughter on my shoulders during the fireworks, they started playing “Baby of Mine” from Dumbo.  I started crying, the good kind of cry.  It sounds crazy to say that Disney helped me heal, but it really did. 

From then on I went from someone who “liked” Disneyland and Disney World to someone that “loved” the parks.  My kids, husband, and I come back as often as we can.  As we became known in our group of friends as “the Disney people” I would start taking my friends and guiding them through my favorite experiences and foods at Disney.  It has always brought me a lot of joy. 

My son had a rocky start and we realized that Celiac disease was the likely culprit.   Disney was the one place I knew I could always trust with his food allergies/intolerances.   Then my daughter developed some anxiety and sensory issues that made her what some would call a picky eater.  Being a mom of kids with allergies and food issues can be challenging, but blogs and Facebook groups helped us navigate things.   Now I want to do the same for others.
