Meet Disney Gal Heather AKA Disneymomtojohn (Twitter)

I am Heather from Buffalo NY!  I am a wife, mom to John (2 years) and Sophia (5 months), Oncology nurse, Christian, and Disney fanatic!  I literally eat, sleep, and breathe Disney! 

My real love affair with Disney started about 8 years ago.  My family took our first ever vacation to Disney!  It was August 2004 and 3 hurricanes tore through Florida making it impossible to fly.  Our family of 9 hopped into a van and made the 24 hour trek!  The day that we arrived was one of the best days of my life!  My boyfriend (at the time) had made reservations at Cinderella's Royal Table.  We had a great dinner and dessert.  Wishes had just started over the castle and the waiter brought us our check.  He offered to take a picture of the two of us.  As I handed him the camera, my boyfriend was down on one knee and asked for my hand in marriage!  I was so excited!  I of course said yes!  We received a standing ovation from the entire restaurant!  That trip was so magical!

Meet Disney Gal Beth

"Earning my ears" at Animal Kingdom!

My name is Beth Elliott - so nice to meet you! I'm a Midwest girl, born and raised. Today, I make my home in St. Louis, along with my own Mr. Incredible (my husband of 15 years, Ryan) and our three sons (ages 13, 10 and 4).  By day, I work in finance and admissions at a university, and by night I'm usually busy planning our next Disney vacation.  I also love to cook and am a novice runner.

This is the earliest known photo of me (that's my brother in the front with Grumpy, me with the curly hair and blue outfit, and my sister sporting the purple in back).  

My love of Disney parks started with a family vacation to Disneyland when I was five years old.  In addition to Disneyland, I've checked Walt Disney World, a Disney Cruise, and two runDisney events off my personal bucket list...and can't wait to plan what's next!  When I'm at Disney World, you can probably find me eating one of the great restaurants, screaming my way through a thrill ride, enjoying a cocktail, or crying at Wishes.

Meet Disney Gayle aka DisneyGal @Snshine123 on Twitter

In 1955, two events happened that changed the world -Disneyland and I were both born. Five children, four grandchildren and millions of visitors later, I am happy to report that Disney and I are still going strong!   Hi, I’m Gayle from beautiful Northern California. I am a mom, Grammy, teacher, director of a free after school theater program and I am a Disney a Holic. I cannot remember a time when Disney was not a part of my life. My first trip to Disneyland was November 1955. I can still vividly see my mom trying to hold me while balancing on her too high for walking heels as we boarded the World Famous Jungle Cruise. To this day, it remains my all-time favorite ride. Someday, when I grow up, I am going to be Captain of the Jungle Boat. To say I’ve been to Disneyland more than a few times would be an understatement.  I can remember the Matterhorn as scaffolding, and a time gone by when the showpiece of Tomorrowland, the TWA Moonliner was the tallest structure in the Park, even taller than Sleeping Beauty Castle. I rode donkeys (yes real, not animatronic) and traveled by stagecoaches pulled by horses through the trails of Frontierland. Disneyland and I have certainly transformed and changed over the last half century, but every time I walk through those magical gates, it’s as though I am experiencing it all for the first time.

Meet Disney Gal Kelly

Hey all!

My name is Kelly and I am from the South side of Chicago, along with my husband, three children, 2 cats, 2 guinea pigs and a lazy beagle. It's a loud and crazy house to say the least! I was lucky enough to leave my "real" job as a Financial Analyst to raise our children. Now I have been able to start my own cake business, coach my daughter's softball team, be VP of our middle school PTSA, and talk everyone's ear off about all things Disney.

My obsession with Disney started when I was a preteen and my family drove cross country to Disneyland. I vividly remember standing in a crowd, staring up at the fireworks, when a young boy standing next to me reached over and held my hand. It was pure magic. Even though I have grown up since then, I still find that magic in every visit.

Meet Disney Gal Judy

Hi, I am Judy and I live in Chicago (yes really in Chicago) with my husband Paul and our two rescue dogs Caleb, who kind of reminds us of Pluto (he is a bloodhound) and Claudine who is a Bluetick Coonhound. 

I am not sure if my husband knew what he was getting into when we got married, but my love of Disney started when I seven and my family took a cross-country trip in a VW Bus from Chicago to LA and Disneyland! I got to go again when I graduated from 8^th grade, because my Uncle lived in southern California.  As I did not have a lot of money back then the only thing I could really afford where a couple of small plates with Mickey Mouse on them.  Then my Grandmother moved to Florida, not too far from Walt Disney World, and we were able to spend summers with her and we would go to Disney and I added to my plate collection.  When we got married our first real vacation together and my husband’s first ever plane ride and vacation not near his home, was to Walt Disney World, and so I now have him “hooked” on Disney too.  We have more than those small plates, but it is also a mutual enjoyment of all things Disney.  We have attended quite a few special events at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World and enjoy taking the tours that are offered at all the parks.  I have helped quite a few people plan there Disney vacations and I am a member of a local moms group and have help quite a few of them too. 

Meet Disney Gal Tricia

Greetings from New Jersey!


My name is Tricia and I live just outside Ocean City in southern NJ with my husband Scott and beautiful daughter Makena. I am a self-proclaimed Disney groupie but I am also a full time Detective in Cape May County, NJ so I like to joke that my investigative mode never gets a rest because when I’m not investigating criminals, I’m investigating Disney.

My family and I travel to Walt Disney World at least two times per year and we and I were so confident that we would be coming back so much once our daughter was born that we decided to become DVC members in 2009 and haven’t looked back since. We have stayed at nearly every resort in WDW and have a wide range of experience that I would love to share.
