Thank you Gary Sinise Foundation for all you do to bring light into darkness. 🫡❤️🙏

This shows a size comparison of Disneyland versus Walt Disney World. 👀 I show this to share that there is a LOT of ground to cover when visiting WDW. 😳

💥THIS is why you need to work with someone who knows this property like they know where each spice is in their cabinet. 🙋‍♀️

💥THIS is why you need to understand that you can literally have nearly any experience here. There is an ENDLESS ARRAY of things to do, see, and participate in. 🙋‍♀️

💥MOST IMPORTANTLY, THIS is why you need someone who is close by to be there to help you if things go sideways or unexpected events occur. 🙋‍♀️ I have enjoyed delivering ibuprofen, dry socks, a bottle of wine, or even baby wipes to my clients in moments when they needed it quickly without interrupting their visit.

If you want PREMIUM SERVICES and THIS level of concierge treatment, then I'm the Walt Disney World Pro for you. 🙋‍♀️ If you don't mind watching hours of TikTok videos or asking a Facebook group of people who may or may not have a correct answer for you, then keep doing what you're doing. 🫣

➡️ I unapologetically help people who desire to experience Walt Disney World and leave with amazing memories of a magical visit! ✨️

DOUBLE DIGITS for my little DOUBLE TROUBLE! 🥳 Happy Birthday to the one that keeps us ALL on the edge of our seat! 🎉🦍 Love ya Cory! 😘

We’re headed to today for our birthday celebration! This handsome fella is Cory, and today is his 10th birthday! Born and raised at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Cory is a more recent addition to the zoo’s bachelor group. While the bachelor group composition has changed slightly, Cory and the rest of the gorillas (especially in the bachelor group) get to experience the magic every day. We’re sure today, for his special bday, there was some extra Disney magic!

Happy Birthday to my fluffy boy "Z"! 🥳 Whenever I'm asked if I have a favorite, I always admit that while I try not to love any of them more than another, Zawadi has a special place in my heart. He has such a depth to his personality. He can express SOOO much just through his eyes and his movements. And if I could spend a day with just one of the troop, it would most certainly be "Z" that I chose. 🥰 They are magnificent individuals and I hope this guy brings us all joy for many years to come! ❤️

We’re headed to today for our birthday celebration! This handsome fella is Zawadi, and today is his 33rd birthday! Originally born at the Lincoln Park Zoo, Zawadi headed south to the magical land of Orlando in 1997 before Disney’s Animal Kingdom officially opened to join their bachelor group. While the bachelor group has changed slightly over the last few years, we know your keepers sprinkled some extra pixie dust for you and the boys today!

THIS is what Disney magic means to me! 🥰

Amber Roberts writes: At the tender age of 2, I first crossed paths with Snow White. From that moment on, through my adolescent years until I turned 15, she always remembered me, calling me by name. She truly made my Disney childhood enchanting beyond words. Although I haven't seen her in person since, I discovered she's now embodying the role of the Fairy Godmother. Today, I finally reunited with her and received the warmest hug. Truly, the best day ever!!
(And yes, there were tears!) 🌟✨

When will YOUR story begin? ❤️

To know Mr. Richard, was to love him. 🥰 He was the constant smile that meant you were home. His presence is missed at those doors but for some of us, his memory will always be there. ❤️

Remembering...
June 14, 1925:
Richard Gerth, longtime Walt Disney World cast member who was well-known for greeting guests at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort, is born Richard Paul Gerth in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire.

Serving as a greeter at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa in Florida for nearly 30 years (starting in 1991), he earned the Disney Legacy award in 2013. Known for his straw hat – which he would tip to welcome guests – Gerth became seen as a grandfatherly figure for visiting families, who would come back to visit and take photos with him year after year. Humble and gentle, Richard was also a huge part of Disney Weddings and has been captured in thousands of photos over the years.

Sadly, he passed at age 92 in Kissimmee, Osceola County, Florida, on June 7, 2018.
