Who does your family consist of? Husband, Son and myself.
What is your occupation? Order Coordinator.

How long have you been a member of MFL? About a year.
If you have a MFL title, how did you get it? I don't think I have a title.
How many times have you vacationed to a Disney destination? At least 15 times.
Who is your favorite Disney Character and why? Well I am a Villain fan, because without them the story would be boring and there would be no need for a hero. My favorites were always Cruella and the Evil Queen, but my son was concerned that people would think I was like that. So if I was to be most like a villain character, I would be Madam Mim. She's crazy, she wants to have fun and it's all a game ("I win, I win").
What is your most embarrassing Disney Moment? Having to tell people that I broke a bone in my foot by hitting my foot on the bed leg. What a drag. My family made fun of me for the rest of the trip because usually I walk so fast that they have trouble keep up with me. I was walking with one of those shoe type boots, my foot hurt and I was having trouble walking. My family enjoyed saying things like "do you need for us to wait for you?"
Do you consider yourself to be a Disney expert or novice? I'm not sure I would call myself an expert, but I do feel that I'm pretty knowledgable.
What is your best tip for saving money on a Disney Vacation? I buy an annual pass, even though I don't get to Disney more than once a year. We usually stay for 2 weeks, so the discounted room rate that I get from being an annual pass holder is well worth it.
What is your favorite attraction at a Disney park? My favorite ride is Splash Mountain at Magic Kingdom. My favorite show is MGM's Fantasmic and my favorite parade is Magic Kingdom's SpectroMagic.
Besides Disney, what is your favorite pastime? My son and I go to a lot of movies. I also like to play with my PhotoShop to edit my Disney photos. After all if I can't be at Disney, at least I can remember my time there.
If you were stranded on a desert island, what would be the one thing would want with you and why? My son, because he's my best friend.

What is your favorite food? Fast food: Pizza Meal: Turkey with gravy.
If you won the lottery, what would be the first thing you would do? Easy, take my whole family to Disney.
What is your favorite Holiday or time of year? My favorite time of the year is Fall. I live in the North, and I love the colors of the leaves changing.
What would people be surprised to know about you? People are always surprised to know that I am the oldest of 10 kids. They are also surprised to realize that I am a disneyaholic.
What is your favorite aspect of MFL? I enjoy being part of the MFL Group, because I love everything Disney. And if I can't be at Disney, at least I can talk to other people about it.
