April Thompson - Travel Genie

Favorite Travel Memory: 

Let's be honest any trip is my favorite. But if I had to pick one (or two) it would be my Europe Adventures in 2018 where I was able to visit Prague, Paris (Disneyland Paris), London, and Ireland. My other top trip would be my most recent adventure to Hawaii during the summer of 2022. My family spent time in Maui and Oahu where we stayed at Aulani. I spent hours every day floating around the Waikolohe stream because who doesn't love a lazy river!

Dream Vacation:

My DREAM vacation is to visit ALL 6 Disney parks. I would start at Disneyland, head to Tokoyo Disneyland, then do Shanghai and Hong Kong, fly to Disneyland Paris, and then finish back in Orlando at Disney World. I'm a high school teacher and my students find this out on the first day of school!

*I'll probably have to settle on visiting them all individually instead of on one marathon trip... I've been to three of the six!

Disney Travel Advice: 

My dining tip would be to eat dinner at Ohana and plan your reservations right before the fireworks. My favorite spot to see the Magic Kingdom fireworks is from the Polynesian Resort. Ohana even plays the show’s music for guests to enjoy. There is nothing better than having delicious food while enjoying the show.

My wait time travel tip is to play Heads-UP while in lines to help pass the time. Disney has a special deck that you can download. It makes time go faster and it keeps little ones entertained. You can even get families around you to join it!

Why should you book your vacation with me?

My goal is to share my love of Disney with others. I have witnessed firsthand the dedication that Disney has to every guest that enters the parks. I have been a guest at the parks and a cast member. I have worked behind the scenes and understand how to portray that magic to the families that I get to help! My goal is to plan a Magical Vacation before you arrive at Disney, support you while you are there, and listen to all your incredible stories when you return.
