A suggestion from friends landed Rachel and husband Tony at the Magic Kingdom in 2018 after a looooong absence (... 2000 Grad Nite?). A growing number of subsequent trips has rekindled that Disney flame by bringing back fond memories and allowing her passion to bloom once again!
Rachel compares the adult Disney experience to that of a child... but with a budget!
Her home away from home is now Copper Creek Villas and Cabins at Disney's Wilderness Lodge.

Tony avoids Buffalo area theme parks like the plague and does not like crowds... full stop. Disney, however? The raw power of Disney magic changed his passionate disdain for amusement parks into a love for his family and going on vacation!
Tony is currently working on a plan to secure a lifetime supply of Dole Whip (mail order... underground pipeline... details still unclear). Donations are being accepted for a planned walk-in freezer at his home.
Speaking of home... his home away from home is also Copper Creek Villas and Cabins at Disney's Wilderness Lodge.
