Which Disney parks around the world have you visited:  Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line

Date of first Disney Trip: 1973

# of Disney Trips:  Too many to count!

First Disney Attraction and reaction to it:  I have no idea!  My first trip to Disney World was when I was about 7 years old.  I know we went on all the great ones, including Dumbo, Small World, Peter Pan and the one I avoid to this day - Hall of Presidents

Fav. Park and why:  Magic Kingdom is the one that holds the most magic for me.

Fav. Attraction and why:  I have so many favorites but if I have to pick just one I'll take Rock N Roller Coaster.  I love all roller coasters and this one is just fabulous.  Action packed and so smooth, it gives me my coaster fix at the Disney MGM Studios.  What a ride!!!

Fav. Show and why: Without a doubt, Fantasmic! The show is incredible and so moving I always leave the theater feeling so wonderfully high. It is absolutely not to be missed.

Fav. Resort and why: Dixie Landings is my sentimental favorite. I also love the Yacht Club, but my overall favorite is the Boardwalk Villas.

Fav. Restuarant and why: Tony's Town Square is my favorite all around breakfast, lunch and dinner restaurant. I love the ambience and the food is wonderful for a picky eater like me!

Fav. Snack at WDW:  Enjoying hot dogs at Casey's Corner after an e-night.

Fav. Disney Tip:  Talk to the characters as if they've just stepped out of their respective movies to get the most interaction.  Ask Belle about her favorite book, pretend to be a lost boy with Peter Pan, tell Pooh bear where he can find some honey.

Fav. Disney Magical Moment/ Most Memorable Experience:  Ah, but there are so many! These three really stick out in my mind, though. My daughter getting to ride with Minnie Mouse on the first Dumbo flight of the day, Peter Pan treating my son like he was a pirate at Cinderella's Royal Table, and getting all of the other characters in on the action, and my husband and I winning the Missing Quote Challenge and getting six go to the front of the line passes, as well as priority seating for the parade. Nothing beats sitting on the Liberty Square bridge watching the floats up close and personal!

Words of Wisdom: Don't be afraid to discover that Disney Magic any chance you get! My family loves Disney so much that we go as often as we can. We've gone for weekend getaways, family reunions, adults-only trips and summer vacations. Our families think we're crazy for visiting so often but we've got the bug and will keep returning again and again. We get bit by the magic everytime!
