Tara Hodgins • Disney Travel Advisor

Simple, I love Disney. I wanted to share all my great experiences of Disney to give other people the same opportunity of having amazing, memorable vacations that they will never forget and forever cherish!

My personal connection with Disney started really young. I remember getting so excited to watch the Disney Movie of the week that would air every Sunday at 6pm. This is where my love for Disney first began, growing up completely immersed in the magic of its movies and the worlds they brought to life. Then, at just six years old, I was blessed to experience my very first family vacation to Walt Disney World, where the magic I had grown up watching on screen suddenly came to life before my eyes. It truly became one of the most magical memories of my childhood. To this day, somehow I still remember it like yesterday. That first experience left me wanting to return again and again, and with every visit, my love and passion for Disney only grew stronger.

From February 2014 to February 2015 I worked at Epcot as a Server and Server Trainer. The first day I stepped "on stage" working for Disney it was just so magical. I have visited Walt Disney World over 100 times, including Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, Typhoon Lagoon, Blizzard Beach and Disney Springs, and I have done the Wild Africa Trek at Animal Kingdom.

I genuinely care about each client's experience and take the time to listen to what matters most to them. From there, I use what I've learned to create a vacation that feels truly unique and personalized, while guiding them through every step of the journey from start to finish. I also believe my clients have an extra advantage when working with me because I've actually worked at Walt Disney World. I've experienced the magic from the inside and know the parks like the back of my hand! I'm able to share firsthand knowledge, personal insights, and tips that can help make their Disney vacation as seamless, memorable, and magical as possible.

My favourite destination is Walt Disney World Orlando. Every time I drive through the main entrance gates, it feels like the weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders, I can just relax and have fun!

I have experience navigating through Disney with my own 2 children who have Autism. I know how to set up DAS (Disability Access Service) passes and can help you through this process as I have done it myself.
