This or that:
- Walt Disney World or Disneyland: As a Californian native I’m supposed to say DL, but I actually love both the same!
- Caribbean cruise or Mediterranean cruise: I’ll choose Europe almost every time, so Mediterranean! I’ve been dying to see Greece.
- Mickey pretzel or Mickey ice cream: The cream-cheese pretzel is my absolute favorite snack!
- Rollercoaster or dark ride: Rollercoasters, I love the rush of adrenaline and having an excuse to scream.
- Flower and Garden or Food and Wine: I LOVE food, so it’ll have to be the fall festival for me.
Disney Favorites:
- Park: EPCOT, hands down. I love different cultures so much that the World Showcase is my happy place.
- Disney attraction: WDW’s Tower of Terror
- Disney restaurant: Yak n Yeti
- Souvenir: I collect soaps and candles, so whenever I see a cute example of those! (Yes, I love Basin at Disney Springs, and no, I don’t want to say how much I’ve spent there!!)
- Movie: Beauty and the Beast because I love musicals, I love the story, and I love the French setting!
Earliest Disney vacation memory? Dancing on the top deck of the Disney Dream when I was 2 years old. It was during the sailing away party and I was sitting atop my dad's shoulders as the characters waved to me. I was so young, yet I still remember it, so I truly believe Disney creates memories that last a lifetime!
Disney experience that brings tears to your eyes? Bringing my Dutch future-husband to Walt Disney World for the first time, having a romantic dinner the California Grill, and watching the Magic Kingdom fireworks from the rooftop. Talk about an amazing date night.
