About Me

My name is Mary Anderson. When I started planning our first family trip to Walt Disney World, I was overwhelmed. There are four theme parks and each has dozens of rides, shows, and attractions; where do you start? I found the internet is full of conflicting information. It was left to me, a few spreadsheets, and hours of work. On vacation, I was still frazzled trying to manage expectations with reality.
Since that first trip, I’ve learned Walt Disney World tricks to avoid the crowds, to jump to the front of the lines, to plan your meals, and how to save money.
