Hello, I'm Katie D.

I’ve always loved Disney, but my magical mania kicked into full gear when I became a Cast Member at Walt Disney World in the summer of 1999.  I loved that summer so much that I came back to Disney the following fall on the Disney College Program, where I earned my Ducktorate from Disney. I was lucky enough to continue my employment with Disney after moving back home as a Disney College Program Campus Representative, helping other young Disney-obsessed college students become cast members.  My love for the magic has blossomed now that I get to see Disney through the eyes of my two children, Dominic and Amina. Whether you’re looking for a Deluxe Disney Dream Getaway or you’re looking for ways to save at the Parks, I happy to share all my secrets and I look forward to planning your recess from reality.

My favorite Walt Disney World restaurant:  Ohana and Boma are both on my favorites list. But my favorite food  is a hot dog from Casey’s Corner on Main Street.
My insider tip:  Disney Photopass Cast Members will take multiple pictures of your family - so don't be bashful!  Get in front of the lens!
My favorite Disney character:  Mary Poppins
The first thing I do when I arrive at Disney is:  I love to start our trips with a character dining reservation with Mickey Mouse!  It is a great arrival day activity to get you ready for all the theme park excitement that is to come!
