Favorite Travel Memory:
My favorite trip is always the next one. Having over 40 years of experience visiting Disney destinations, I've had the privilege of growing up with Disney as we've both changed over the years. I grew up in California and visited Disneyland many times in my youth and I got to share my love of Disney with friends when we went to Grad Night my senior year of high school (I won't say when that was but there is a 19 in front of the year, lol). As my wife and I started our family and traveled the world at the military's direction, we were able to expand our Disney experience with our children by visiting Walt Disney World and Tokyo Disney. As our children are adults now, my wife and I have added a D23 convention to our Disney passports and continue to celebrate Halloween, birthdays, and couples’ getaways to celebrate anniversaries (we just celebrated our 28th in June). Being able to share my childhood memories while making new ones with my family every trip is priceless. We find a new adventure or experience each visit and continue to add to our memories that will last a lifetime.
Favorite Travel Tip:
Find something new with every adventure. There is Disney magic around every corner and trying something new every visit may quickly turn into a new favorite or start a new tradition. That's the added magic pixie dust that I specialize in. I want to make sure your next trip includes all YOUR favorites and traditions, as well as find you those extra magic moments to make every trip the best one yet.
Dream Vacation:
I'd love to do the Disney Parks Around the World Adventure, and specifically ride Pirates of the Caribbean at Shanghai Disney. WOW!
Disney Travel Advice:
Build time for rest in your vacation. It's Vacation!!! Disney has so many things to do and we all want to experience as many of them as possible. BUT... are you really enjoying the experience to the fullest if you're exhausted, the kids are tired and grumpy, and your feet are killing you? Plus, Disney resorts have so many things to do and enjoy in a peaceful and relaxing environment. Maybe it's sitting by the pool with an adult beverage (one of my favorite pastimes) or a relaxing spa day, or maybe it's just enjoying an outdoor movie with fellow Disney enthusiasts. Don't just put the check in the box for the experience, ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE!

After all, it's your vacation and you deserve it!
My Favorite Destinations:
Disneyland will always be my "home" park. I grew up in California and that's where the magic started for me. I love the history and vintage feel, knowing Walt walked the same streets and experiencing his original vision. But, as my vacation priorities have changed a bit (age will do that to you, lol) my family and I find ourselves splitting time more evenly with Walt Disney World to enjoy the wide array of resort and fine dining options.
