Something Interesting About Yourself: I have 7 younger siblings spread across the
country from Seattle, to Atlanta, Houston to Orlando. My sister who lives in
Orlando works for Disney World. We get to use her killer discount. BF and I are
taking our 4th trip there together this holiday. He loves it there
(I took him for his first visit and he’s been obsessed ever since.) I fancy
myself a bit of a Disney World planning expert, so if anyone’s planning a trip,
I’m happy to answer questions!
