About
“I want adventure in the great, wide somewhere. I want it more than I can tell.”
Belle, Disney’s Beauty & The Beast
Hi and welcome! I’m Teressa, a wife and proud mama to an energetic little boy. My journey with Disney began during my days at the University of Oregon, where I proudly sported our Disney-licensed gear. Fun fact: our mascot, The Oregon Duck, bears a striking resemblance to Donald Duck—a likeness that even caught the attention of Walt Disney himself. In 1947, a verbal agreement between Disney and then-Oregon athletic director Leo Harris allowed our program to use Donald Duck as its logo. Unfortunately, this agreement expired in 2010, making U of O gear with Donald Duck rare these days.
Donald Duck has always held a special place in my heart, and I make it a point to seek out fun Donald Duck souvenirs whenever I visit the parks. I’d love to hear about your favorite Disney character and what makes them special to you!
My love for Disney deepened after graduation when I joined Walt Disney World through their College Program. Since then, Disney has been a constant source of joy in my life. I’ve made countless return trips to Walt Disney World, each visit filled with new discoveries and cherished memories.
EPCOT holds a special place in my heart, especially during the various festivals offered throughout the year. The International Flower and Garden Festival stands out as my absolute favorite. My son and I never pass up the frozen Violet Lemonade offered during this festival; he thinks it is so fun that it comes topped with an edible flower and actually eats it!
Visiting Epcot is always a highlight, I never miss a chance to visit my pal Donald Duck in Mexico and hop on the Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros. It’s heartwarming to see my son share my love for EPCOT, declaring it his favorite park. His joy is infectious, especially when he races to Test Track, his favorite ride.
In addition to Walt Disney World, my husband and I had an unforgettable experience embarking on a Disney Cruise for our honeymoon. We were thrilled when Disney pixie dusted us with a surprise upgrade from our oceanview stateroom to a balcony. Now, I can’t imagine cruising without a balcony! However, nothing can compare to the magic of witnessing Disneyland through my son’s eyes during his first visit at just two years old. He had the sweetest interaction with Minnie Mouse outside of Goofy’s Kitchen at the Disneyland Hotel—those moments are etched in my heart forever.
These moments inspire me to ensure every family I work with experiences the magic of Disney just like we do. Let’s plan your next Disney adventure together!
Aside from my love for Disney, I’m deeply passionate about exploring other destinations around the globe. My personal bucket list includes Tokyo for its vibrant culture, futuristic technology, and of course Tokyo Disney, Iceland for its stunning natural landscapes and northern lights, an Alaskan cruise to witness breathtaking glaciers and wildlife, and Turks and Caicos for its pristine beaches and turquoise waters.
Crossing off one of my bucket list destinations was a dream come true when I visited Egypt. The warmth and hospitality of the people were unforgettable, and standing before the ancient pyramids was a sight that left me in awe.
I find immense joy in helping families turn their travel dreams into reality, ensuring their trips are as stress-free as possible. Whether navigating the dynamic world of Disney vacations or planning an exotic adventure, I’m here to share my passion and expertise with you. I provide all of my clients with a daily itinerary for their destination, along with personal recommendations, tips, and tricks. I keep them on track with email reminders about important dates and create handy know-before-you-go and pre-departure packing lists. Let’s work together to create magical memories that last a lifetime.
