Walt Disney World, Florida ~ A Dreamer's Paradise

I don't specialize in Disney Destinations because I took classes or studied books. It’s because I truly have a passion for Disney. I take my own personal vacations to Disney Destinations and have been to them 50+ times.

Walt Disney World. A...

Walt Disney World. A place that automatically brings thoughts of Cinderella’s Castle with fireworks exploding above.

I’ve spent a large amount of time learning about the many resort hotels, the restaurants, the recreation, and of course the parks themselves. Especially since they are all constantly changing! Disney is known for creating memories and making dreams come true. The memories those trips have created will be with me forever.

Minnesota is my home and I’ve enjoyed helping plan Disney vacations for families here in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul since I started in this business over 30 years ago. Over the years that has expanded to include families all over the United States.

A Walt Disney World vacation is not a one-size-fits-all situation. Are you traveling with a large multi-generational group with an age range of 5 to 75? Are you traveling with friends and looking for an “Adult Disney” experience? Are you a family of four, taking your children to Walt Disney World for the first time?

For first timers, it’s my job to help you to navigate through the overwhelming amount of information that can be found on the internet. Your friends and relatives have all sorts of advice for you based on their own vacations. But this isn’t their vacation, it’s yours! I can simplify the entire process by narrowing down the Walt Disney World vacation that’s best for your family based on your budget as well as the desires of your family to create magical memories.

For the beloved “Disneyphiles” like me who return to the various Disney Destinations again and again, I can help your next trip be unique from those of years past. Backstage tours, signature dining, a new resort experience, and recreation opportunities will make each trip extraordinary. The Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney Springs, Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon, and Disney’s Blizzard Beach await you in sunny Florida.

I would consider it an honor to help you build the path towards making the Disney dreams come true for you and your family.

Mix It, Make It, Celebrate It!

Want to be the hit of your next party? Want to appear as if you are a master mixologist? Then I suggest you sign up for a "Mix It, Make It, Celebrate It!" lesson during the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. This hands-on mixology course will teach you tricks of the trade from some of the very best in the industry.

In 2019, I took the "Mix It, Make It, Celebrate It!" class that featured cocktails with vodka. We were given everything we needed to make 3 different cocktails. The ingredients were all pre-measured and all the necessary tools-of-the-trade were provided.

Step by step, we were taken through the steps of making each cocktail. There were large screens in place so we could see the mixologist's steps so we could then mimic them with the items in front of us. Tips and tricks were given along the way such as twisting a cucumber slice just as you would twist a citrus peel to release the delicious oils into your glass. Who knew?

As we finished creating each cocktail, of course we got to drink it. While we sipped at our newly created concoction there was discussion of party tips, history of the spirit, and the brand. When pressurized growlers and the "Flavor Bible" were brought up, people quickly set down their drinks and pulled up Amazon on their phones to get these treasures shipped to their homes right away.

A copy of all three recipes was provided to us so we could take them home and dazzle our friends at our next get-together! The session was approximately 75 minutes long and was positively delightful. Afterwards, we had the opportunity to ask questions and even pose for photos with the mixologist.

The Epcot International Epcot Food & Wine Festival begins in late August and continues through mid-November. There is no additional admission to attend the Festival itself, but there is an additional cost of $45-$50 + tax per person to take the "Mix It, Make It, Celebrate It!" lesson. Space is limited and advance reservations are required. Guests must be 21 or over to attend this class.
