About Me
This proud Canadian hails from Halifax, Nova Scotia, one of the lucky port cities to repeatedly play host to the Disney Magic cruise ship. I am a busy working single mom, spending my days as an in-house litigation lawyer and my evenings and weekends trying to keep up with my two kids and their very active schedules. As a seasoned lawyer, I find that both in the courtroom and in life, a positive can-do attitude is often the best approach. Not to mention, almost any task will prove more enjoyable with a Disney soundtrack playing in the background.
A lifelong Disney fan, I have been vacationing at the Walt Disney World Resort since my first trip at four-years-old; yet somehow on every trip, there's always something new to experience. I consider myself a veteran of travel at both the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando and the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim.

About My Family
With Disney Vacation Club "homes" on both coasts, my family has literally grown up vacationing at the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. I have a son and daughter who, like me, can confidently trace many of their childhood milestones and celebrations back to our Disney family vacations. Our Dalmatian, Dita, whose name plays homage to "Perdita" of Disney’s “101 Dalmatians,” rounds out our family.
Apart from travel, as a family we stay active at the soccer field, hockey rink and riding stable. In our normal daily lives, we are constantly on the go from morning until night, and often don't get a lot of downtime. But with our Disney Vacation Club membership, no matter how hectic and busy our lives become, we are always planning and looking forward to that next trip. Disney Vacation Club guarantees that we will have special time together as a family to share experiences and make new memories year after year; to us as a family, that is priceless.
Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase and it's just the way my family feels following a Disney vacation. After we have relaxed, played and reconnected, we head back to our everyday routine with an extra spring in our step and Disney magic in our hearts.

About My Disney Experience
After years of vacations at many of the iconic and beautiful Walt Disney World Resort properties, our family quickly realized that we were hooked on that special brand of magic and pixie dust that can only be found at a Disney Resort. Disney Vacation Club allows us to stay at the high quality Disney Resorts which our family has come to know and love at an affordable price point, guaranteeing years of special vacation memories.
There is always something new to experience; whether you wish to sleep in a treehouse, snorkel with tropical fish in Hawaii, wake up to exotic animals on a vast savanna outside your balcony, or soak up the sunshine on the sandy shores of Castaway Cay, Disney Cruise Line's private tropical island in paradise, it is all there to enjoy as a Disney Vacation Club member.
As a proud Disney Vacation Club member, Disney is my "home,” a place I come to relax and share the magic with friends and family. And boy, do I love showing it off to others! Nothing makes me happier than helping people plan magical adventures at the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.
