I'm here to share the magic of Disney Parks with you, and get you ready to travel to your favorite Disney destination or ANYwhere you may like to go!

From Grand Rapids, Michigan… I’m Noddea! Disney parks have had a piece of my heart since age four when I was perched on the shoulders of my dad as the parade made its way down the Magic Kingdom’s Main Street USA on Christmas morning. I truly fell in love with the magic of Walt Disney World when serving as a consultant for my sorority and spending a few months stationed at Rollins College near Orla

ndo. The close proximity of the parks meant nothing could keep me away… I even did a conference call on my flip phone from the parade route at Hollywood Studios (then Disney-MGM)! Here in West Michigan I’ve worked in theatre administration and event production, and I’m an active volunteer in my community as a musical theatre performer. I love blending my love for theatre and Disney by teaming up for Disney Trivia and Disney Nostalgia nights with friends, as well as crafting custom ears to wear on my WDW trips. Considering my passion for the arts, it’s no surprise that my favorite Disney parks activities are live performances, shows, and cavalcades! My husband is in the restaurant business, so I’m also way into food… and I can talk for hours about my favorite Disney dining experiences, meals, snacks, and beverages. As much as I love my experiences as a Disney guest, I think planning a Disney getaway is half the fun! I’m an Enneagram 2 - also known as “The Helper”… so what does that mean for you? It means that I am here to serve, support, and cheer you on as we book your vacation to Walt Disney World or anywhere else you may like to go! This, combined with my experience in event production and customer service, sets you up to make incredible memories with your fellow travel companions, whether that be your family, your pals, or your significant other. I believe that Disney is a magical place for all, so I welcome clients of all backgrounds, and I’m delighted to work with LGBTQ+ travelers. My services aren’t just for Disney first-timers. Even if you’ve traveled to Disney plenty of times, allow me to assist you in your journey. **Did you know that when you book a vacation package with me, it’s FREE?** So why not lean on me to plan your resort stay, your dining, park reservations, and more… whether you’re a Disney newbie or an annual visitor. Maybe you’re more like me and just want the bare minimum and help so you can choose your own adventure, and that’s okay, too. When you choose me as your Travel Advisor, I’ve got the pixie dust tips… I’ll teach you how to pack the ultimate park day backpack AND give you advice that may help you score that sought-after boarding pass for Rise of the Resistance in Galaxy’s Edge. Contact me today for your no-obligation quote. And, I invite you to give me a follow on social media, too, where I’ll keep you up to date with all of the latest Disney news and entertain you with a little Disney nostalgia, too. Let’s make some magic through Goofy Getaways!

“I wanna try everything
I wanna try even though I could fail
I’ll keep on making those new mistakes
I’ll keep on making them every day…
Try everything”
One race completed, one yet to finish: yesterday I made it 2/3 of the way in my first ever attempt at a 10K. I made this commitment months before my knee injury and surgery… and last spring I was on the right track to crush this race. But rather than not showing up, I wanted to try. And I did. Getting my fate-based placement in Corral A meant that I had a fighting chance to make it at LEAST halfway… and that was my goal. But with by my side (who hightailed it from Corral D to reach me!) it meant I was in the best company I could ever ask for. I chose to live it up along the way: walking at a super chill pace, stopping for a character (and to p*e! and to check in for my flight!), experiencing a new course, and ultimately, “sweeping” myself on the Boardwalk at the med tent for some ice, advil, and a van es**rt to the reunion area past the finish line. I sent my friend off with Joy and confidence. I didn’t cry. I wasn’t sad or disappointed. I was SO PROUD to have listened to my body and allow myself to process the ways that my personal and professional life need *all* of me and my best send in the coming days and week. I know I could’ve finished - but I also knew it wasn’t worth risking my health to do it - especially on a solo trip. I was smitten with my Disney Cast Member Ryan who felt like family by the time he got me to my destination, and I was blown over by the kindness, love and care that was given to me by the volunteers and staff at the “Did Not Finish” area. I later celebrated with a well-earned dinner, a swift trip to my favorite park, and ultimately, the BEST Disney on Broadway Concert I’ve ever experienced. On my way out of Epcot, I stopped by families attempting Spaceship Earth selfies and said “Let me be your Fairy Godmother” … and took family photos for them. 10K Day was such a beautiful little lesson in that we can show up for ourselves and others in bountiful goodness. 🥰 Thank you to everyone who was rooting for me along the way.

Sweet dreams. Headed off to bed with an open mind and an open heart that whatever is meant to be tomorrow, will be. 🤍

A flatlay nine months in the making deserves her own post. Pre-knee injury I started working on this concept for the Wine and Dine 10K… and it got put on the back burner when I couldn’t go after surgery. But I was determined to make a comeback and bring these lotus blossoms with me, while paying tribute to a dear princess by honoring the bayou where she fell in love and met her prince. 🐸🪷 It feels kismet to be here at Port Orleans French Quarter, surrounded by little bits of Princess Tiana, her bestie Charlotte, and touches of New Orleans around every corner.

Welcome to Princess Weekend 2025! Today was Expo day, and I’m ready for the ride… I was handed a wild little ticket to the possibilities when I somehow scored Corral A for my very first 10K! If I look extra giddy, that’s why - I’m filled with such gratitude. Tomorrow is 5K day…

HAPPY NATIONAL POPCORN DAY! One of my favorite speciality treats and gifts to myself at Walt Disney World is a Premium Souvenir Popcorn Bucket. These buckets can be purchased with popcorn and pricing that usually ranges between $18-$25 depending on the bucket. However, you can bring your bucket for a refill at any popcorn stand at Walt Disney World Parks and Disney Springs for less than $3!
Premium buckets may be seasonal, festival-specific, or be influenced by the park that they were purchased at! For example, my personal favorite in my collection is a Toy Story Alien that I got from Hollywood Studios. Simba, picture here with my friend and client Mary Kate, was found in Animal Kingdom! And of course, standard buckets are available at Walt Disney World year round and range between $14-$16.

Do YOU have a favorite bucket in your collection?

A SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT TO KICK OFF THE YEAR: I'm thrilled to share that I've accepted a promotion with Goofy Getaways as Director of Marketing! (To my theatre community - exhale, friends - I'm still at Grand Rapids Civic Theatre and nothing has changed there!!)

It's been my pleasure to serve as a Team Manager since 2022 and while it's bittersweet for me to take off that pair of ears in exchange for this new set, it's going to be a tremendously cool adventure for me. I'll get to honor and build upon the awesome brand that Kayla created for us, as well as work alongside the also recently promoted VP of Communications and Development Amy Fisher and under the direct supervision of my friend and Goofy Getaways CEO Amy Blades! I'll have the opportunity to work on strategy and experiences, help strengthen our agency, and show everyone who is a part of Goofy Getaways and experiences our services who we are and why we're special. THANK YOU to my amazing team of agents that I've had the pleasure to spend 2024 with, and to my longtime supervisor Greg.
