I'm Liv, a mother of two amazing kiddos now aged 5 and 7. My favorite thing as a parent has been to experience the world through my children's eyes, and never have they twinkled brighter than when we took them to Disneyland for the first time. Stepping through those gates gave me freedom to experience that child like joy without judgement for the first time in a long time. We let go of our adult worries and were able to be fully present in the moment with the fun that surrounded us.
I never expected to want to return so soon, but trip after trip the joy never dwindled and it has become a family favorite destination year after year. As an overplanner I always made sure to dive head first into mountains of research to ensure we could get the most out of our vacations. Strategizing park days and setting alarms to get ADRs booked was of the utmost importance to me and it paid off. That knowledge and experience proved mighty helpful to friends who were embarking on similar journeys with their young families. After helping a friend with her recent trip she turned to me with awe and told me I needed to do this professionally. A spark was lit, and I never looked back. Now I get to share my knowledge and passion with clients as I help them plan magical memories to the "happiest place on earth". I couldn't have dreamed of a more exciting and rewarding job.
Okay so now a bit more about me and my love of Disney, Pixar, and all things Harry Potter. I grew up doodling over all of my school notebooks and loved copying characters and creating my own. I'm a child at heart, and I never aged out of the animation phase of movie enjoyment. In University I acquired a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a major in New Media and actually studied 3D animation and special effects. Sitting behind a computer screen in a dark room for all hours of the day wasn't my jam, it turned out, and I became a teacher where I got to work with young kids, sparking their creativity and love of theatre as an Art & Drama teacher. After battling infertility for years I decided my preference was to stay home with my children, soaking up the young years as fully as I could. I couldn't wait to introduce them to all my old favourites and over the years together we have gotten to experience and discover so many new films and characters together. Have you seen the new Inside Out 2 film? To say I felt seen!!! So with that, I'll leave you with a few of my "favourites" and until next time, never lose sight of the kid inside!
