He was on vacation and staying at the Polynesian Village Resort’s Samoa building in room 1601 when he signed that document.

A Mouse Expert Tip:
Did you know that if a balloon you purchase “pops” while you are in the parks, you can exchange it for a new one? Just visit a balloon vendor cast member with the deflated one and they will gladly give you a replacement.
Also, if you want an “UP!” photo moment, the vendors will let you hold the bunch for a quick photo. (They need to keep a grip on the strings too, but they will be just out of view for the 📸)

My Journey
My journey with Disney began in the year 2000 when I took my first trip to The Most Magical Place On Earth with my family. That’s where my obsession began. The magic...it’s real. The nostalgia surrounds you and you can’t help, but be happy.
After that trip, I was able to visit Walt Disney World during my high school years with Disney’s Magic Music Days. I was fortunate enough to visit again after high school in 2008 to visit a friend who was participating in the Disney College Program. Having three trips to Disney under my belt by 2008 was something I would have never dreamed possible, but is something I am grateful for everyday.
I got to experience something else that was pretty special in 2011. I studied abroad in Paris, France and was able to visit Disneyland Paris during their 15th anniversary. What a trip!
Somehow, what comes next was even better. My time to join the Disney College Program finally came in the fall of 2011. I had made it. I was a cast member. I enjoyed working merchandise at the Emporium in Magic Kingdom, as well as at Epcot in multiple locations. While the draw to the magic was quite real, I made the decision to return home and be closer to my family.
That didn’t keep me away from my happy place though, I have visited Disney at least once, if not two or three times per year since 2012. I’ve also made it to Disneyland in Anaheim. Next up on my bucket list are Disney Sea in Tokyo, Disneyland Hong Kong, and Disneyland Shanghai.
Back to reality for now: I enjoy what I’ve got going on here in Houston, TX. I have an amazing, loving husband, the best fur child anyone could ask for, as well as friends and family nearby. I decided I needed one more thing though...to share my love of Disney with others in a meaningful way. Disney is fantastic, it’s truly magical, but it’s also a lot. It’s big and confusing and overwhelming sometimes. Let me help you avoid the complexity of a Disney vacation, so you can simply enjoy all Disney has to offer. I can’t wait to create magic for you and your friends and family.
