What is your earliest Orlando memory?

My earliest Disney memory is from my first trip which was in 1994, I was 6 years old and had just stepped into to the Magic Kingdom for the very first time I remember feeling like I was in a dream world. I had spotted that Pluto was signing autographs so I ran over and got in line. When it got to my turn Pluto gave me a huge hug and signed my book and as we posed for a picture Pluto took my Minnie Ears off my head and ran off with them, I chased him a little and he gave me them back, gave me another hug and that was it my first taste of Disney Magic!

What do you love most about Orlando?

I love everything about Orlando, Disney, Universal, its beaches the people but mostly I love all the memories it holds from my first visit to becoming a cast memeber and moving there, to now making memories with my daughter its a very special place to me.

What is your most magical Orlando memory?

I have so many I could choose from but I would say when I first became a cast member. I first arrived back in March 2011 me and my arrival group became really close and on one of our days off we went to Magic Kingdom to watch Wishes, I had never seen it before. I remember standing on Main Street being in awe and hearing Jiminy cricket say “see wishes can come true” I was in floods of tears realising just that, that my dream came true.

Fun fact! I worked in EPCOT with my current colleagues Myah and Laura  in 2011

When is your next Orlando trip and what are you doing?

My next trip is August/September we are doing a split stay 6 nights at the Rosen inn at Pointe Orlando then 9 nights at Caribbean Beach it will just be me and my daughter and after a great test run and Alton Towers last year she is finally ready for the big rides. We both cant wait to check out Epic Universe it looks unreal and also excited to watch the new Night time parade in Magic Kingdom Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away

What is your DREAM Orlando Holiday?

My new Dream holiday that im going to try and plan for my 40th would be a coast to coast trip California and Orlando, the last time I went to Disneyland I was 10 so its been a very long time and lots of changes since including Avengers Campus im huge Marvel fan so that would be amazing and if Im really dreaming I would love to try and also fit in a few days at Aluani in Hawaii before we headed of to Orlando.

What do you love most about working at Ever After Holidays?

I get to talk about my main passion which of course is Disney every single day,  I love the  relationships that  I get to make with customers new and old. I especially love the feeling of giving tips or recommendations that they may not know about making their holiday that little bit more special.

What do you love most about booking customers holidays?

The excitement that I’ve had a hand in making someone’s dream holiday come true, a holiday that the customer may have been planning for months or years is finally booked, it’s such a special moment.

Finally, tell us something we might not know about you!

I had the privilege of being a Walt Disney World Cast Member, I was a server in The Rose and Crown in Epcot and loved every minute. I also used to be a Holiday rep for Thomas Cook a long long time ago now back in 2007 I worked for one season in Zante and had the best time.

I look forward to helping you plan that dream holiday! Just call me on 0800 3277108 during opening hours.
