As Walt requested of his staff, we are on a first name basis here at Disney Journeys. Hi, my name is Kim and I live near Hershey, PA. I grew up in Rochester, NY where I attended Hilton High School. After attending Syracuse University, I transferred to the University of Buffalo where I graduated with a Legal Studies degree. My first real job out of college was working for the law firm, Nixon, Hargrave in downtown Rochester, NY.

My love for Walt Disney World began at the age of 11 when I traveled to the Magic Kingdom for the first time. My grandparents introduced my Mom and I to this place of wonder. Ever since that first walk down Main Street U.S.A. with Cinderella's Castle growing closer, I've dreamed about moving into the Mouse's House. While I haven't set up residence, I have vacationed in Walt Disney World and Disneyland, sailed aboard the Disney Cruise Line, traveled to Disney's Hilton Head Island and spent countless hours helping families, friends, neighbors, teachers, and other acquaintances plan their dream vacations.

In 2007, I was planning my next Disney vacation. We were traveling that Thanksgiving to Disneyland. I saw an interesting ad that WDW had launched a "nationwide search for moms who have mastered the art of planning a Walt Disney World vacation." This description jumped out at me and before I knew it, I was quickly typing out 3 essays. My husband came home from work and I told him that I applied for "this Disney mom thing".

Then, as I was getting ready to hang up my Ears (but never the tiara), I was invited to stay on the WDW Moms Panel for another year. Now, I answer questions devoted to the Disney Cruise Line as well as any WDW questions that are posed directly to me via my Bio page.

I've experienced delightful journeys both personally and professionally. I hope to share those with you here so that your family can find your own magic when vacationing with Disney.
