About Vanessa Parrish

I am a born and raised Florida native, and naturally, a fan of all things Disney, as well as a Disney Vacation Club member. When I am not writing about Disney or sharing all my tips and tricks for planning with friends and family, or working in my full time job, I love spending time with my wonderful Disney princess, my little Disney pirate and my husband. I am always planning for my next trip to Walt Disney World or on a Disney cruise or my next runDisney race.
