Hi, I’m Carly! I live in Pennsylvania working full time as a registered nurse. In my free time I love to read, watch ice hockey, and travel with family and friends. My parents first took me to Disney World when I was 3 and I've been hooked ever since. I have been to Disney more times than I can count and every time is just as great as the last. One of my life goals is to eventually travel to all 50 states but one of my favorite trips thus far is Montana (aside from Disney of course). Some of my other favorite places include Siesta Key, Jamaica, Costa Rica, and Mexico! I've created so many memories with friends and family through traveling, and I would love to help you do the same!

Samantha
Hi, I’m Samantha! Born and raised in Florida, I grew up as an Annual Passholder to both Disney and Universal. I work full-time in the NFL and special events, so I never have a dull moment! I have traveled to both Disneyland and Disneyland Paris, and planning to finish all parks by visiting China and Japan next year! I’ve had so many amazing trips at Disney, but my most favorable was when I took a solo day trip to ride Guardians of the Galaxy and shop (because why not)!
When I’m not working or at a theme park, I enjoy spending some downtime at home, at the pool, or traveling to a new city. On top of my bucket list of visiting all the Disney parks, I hope to attend a game at all MLB parks one day!
Currently I have visited 7/30!
Disney is one of my favorite places to go, and I hope to help make your trip just as magical as you imagine.
