About Me
I am a single father to one incredible boy. My day job is working as a technician for a Fortune 500 technology company but when I’m home, I plan my Disney vacations and am a resource for others planning their trips. I like to think that I have an above-average love for Disney. The minute I set foot on Walt Disney World property I become a kid again, filled with wonder, awe and excitement. When I am not in Walt Disney World, I love listening to Disney podcasts and connecting with all my Disney friends on Twitter and Facebook. Two of my favorite things to do at Walt Disney World are searching for hidden Mickeys and taking an unfathomable amount of photographs. My motto is “keep dreaming big!”
About My Family
My son shares my love for Disney too. We have had many precious moments during our trips like riding the monorail together, competing in Toy Story Midway Mania and indulging in the incredible dining experiences that Disney has to offer – these are just some of my favorite Disney memories that will last a lifetime. In fact, my son often reminds me to “slow down” because my excitement often propels me to walk rather quickly. He enjoys fitting as much Disney in as possible, provided that I don’t leave him out of breath from trying to keep up with me! I am slowly getting my extended family hooked on the Disney experience or Disney “Marc's way,” as I like to call it.
About My Disney Experience
I have helped many coworkers, friends, family and even complete strangers plan their trips to Walt Disney World. In fact, I love to provide people with tips, advice or strategies that will save them time in the parks, enable them to have a new experience or make their Disney vacation just a little more magical! My Mickey ears always perk up whenever I hear someone mention “Disney” in their conversation and I become instant friends with them as we begin to talk about the one subject that I am most passionate about. I have discovered that in many cases, a love for Walt Disney World serves as a uniting force that brings us all together and proves that “it’s a small world after all.”
