About Anne Fitzgerald

My love affair with Disney began in 1977, while on my first trip to Walt Disney World Resort. I've really enjoyed visiting over the past 3 decades, but my appreciation grew as I began traveling with my tots. Experiencing a Walt Disney World Resort vacation through the eyes of little ones is pure magic!

When I'm not changing diapers and reading books, I love providing travel tips and tricks for folks heading to many destinations, especially Walt Disney World Resort. Whether it's a visit to a local museum or travel to a tropical destination, my passion is in easing the stress and paving the way for smooth sailing.
