Meet the Magic site began out of the love for Disney and the want for meeting others in the Disney community that shared as much passion for Disney as I do. I have many great memories from hours spent in theme parks throughout my childhood. Living in Nashville, I had always had Opryland U.S.A. as a local theme park for summer fun. However, the park closed many years back. As a result, I began to look to other places for theme park fun. I visited many parks trying to find the best match. Opryland had always been a place where parents felt their children were safe. The rides were all well maintained and the park was kept very clean. Other parks I had visited closer to my house did not mirror these same attributes. In fact, nearly the only place I found this level of comfort was Walt Disney World.
After college, my family and I began taking regular vacations to Walt Disney World. From there it just went crazy! I began finagling multiple trips to Walt Disney World throughout the year. My Grandfather lived about an hour from the theme park and made for an even better vacation; a visit to see Granddad and a visit to the theme parks! A wonderful combination that I wish I could recreate now.
Five years ago, I introduced my son to Walt Disney World. I love spending hours in the parks with my son in hopes he will find some of his own wonderful childhood memories there in the parks at Walt Disney World. I find that during our time in the parks, he and I enjoy spending time with the other people while standing in line or while eating a meal who are enjoying the parks as much as we are. My son loves to sit with people on the bus and discuss his fun he has had that day while inquiring as to their favorite part of their day.
In planning for our vacation about a year ago, I decided I wanted to see if there were others who would be vacation at Walt Disney World at the same time as our upcoming trip. The search was not a quick one. In fact, I was not able to find anyone! In the months to come, I began a mission to find other that were as interested in Walt Disney World as I was. They do exist, right?!? Soon after, I began my blog at Meet the Magic where I discussed our vacation fun had, plans for vacations to come and the like. What I found were Disney peeps! I was so excited to find people who were interested in Disney as much as I was!
Now that the site is several months old, I have been able to meet loads of people who bring me magic daily! The site now includes several contributor: Cooking with Mickey, who shares various food and dining articles, Aussie John, who provides vivid articles on a variety of Disney travel topics, DisneyNine, our British correspondent who shares her favorites while visiting Walt Disney World, Krystal, who shares her inside information on being a past cast member, and Julia, who discusses important details behind planning your trip to Disney World.
These contributors have helped to make Meet the Magic a wonderful place to meet! In addition to these wonderful articles, Tuesdays I write the Strategies for Paying for Disney articles. I am a CPA by trade, thus thinking of money on a regular basis comes natural! I had had so many people over the years question me on how it was that I afford my vacation to Disney World so often. To help address these questions, I began writing my weekly Strategies for Paying for Disney articles where I detail the various strategies I have implemented for myself to help me pay for my trips. I have had a great response to these articles and hope you will also enjoy reading them!
I hope you will come over to Meet the Magic and spend some time with my wonderful contributors!
