About

Hi, I’m Gemma!

Walt Disney World (WDW) has been part of my life since I was five years old. I’ve celebrated so many milestones there, from our Disneymoon, to big birthdays, to taking my little boy on his first trip at 6 months old, and most recently as a toddler. For me, it truly feels like home.

I’m a natural planner (some might say Type A!) and I love researching, organising, and making every trip magical. While we travel widely, Disney holidays are my absolute favourite to plan. Friends and family often come to me for advice, and creating this guide felt like the natural next step.

Even when I don’t have a trip in the diary, I stay up to date with Disney World news, system changes, and insider tricks. It’s my hobby, if I were on Mastermind, “Walt Disney World” would be my specialist subject!

Fun fact: I have a terrible sense of direction anywhere else in the world… but in WDW? I can get us to the next park, restaurant, or ride (with the best snack stop en route) without missing a beat.

I hope my guide helps you feel confident and excited as you plan your trip, it has decades of experience, research, and planning distilled for you into easy to navigate chapters. And if you’re travelling with little ones, don’t miss my specialist toddler & baby tips, plus my printable park planning sheets (included with the main guide) to capture every must-do moment.

As they say in WDW, 'have a magical day'!
