Kristin: Co - Blog Coordinator - Hello all and thank you for checking out Our Mousecapades! My love for Disney started at the age of 3. I still remember (albeit vaguely) the feeling of pure elation I experienced the first time I met Pluto face to face. The joy I experienced being introduced to my favorite childhood celebrity was over whelming. To this day, every time I enter the Walt Disney World property, I experience that same joy. Walt Disney World vacations have become an institution in my family. I have laughed and cried there; in a lot of ways, I grew up there. From the first time I rode a roller coaster to the first time I experienced a rum caused hangover, some of my best memories were created in the world that Walt built and I look forward to sharimg my experiences, opinions and knowledge with you all!

Michelle: Co-Blog Coordinator - Hi everyone! Thanks for visiting our blog. Unlike Kristin, I have no memories of our first trip to WDW (I was only 18 months old), but I do remember always loving the place. As a child, WDW was a magical wonderland where I could play all day, eat as much ice cream as my little stomach could handle, and watch some pretty fantastic fireworks. As I got older (and grew out of that terrible, angsty, pre-teen mindset), I learned how to appreciate the intricacies behind the fantastic, in your face rides, attractions and displays; the concepts and fabrication of the Walt Disney World attractions became just as important to me as experiencing them. Now that I'm an "adult," I can not only relish the experiences I have in the restaurants and bars, but I can also relive my childhood memories. The nostalgia that WDW induces makes me feel like I'm 8 years old and I'm tackling Splash Mountain for the first time all over again.
Favorite Disney Character: I also have two - Cinderella and Donald

Sue: Author of "Mommy's Thoughtful Spot" and blog contributor- Hi, I'm the mom! In 1989, our family took its first Disney vacation and we have never looked back. I have traveled with my children from when they were very young (ages 6 yr., 3 yr., and 18 months), through the "lovely" teen years, and as adults. From the many wonderful uses of the zippered storage bag, to where almost every bathroom in every park is located, to where you can find a quiet place to take five and have a cool drink, I've experienced them all. I even know the perfect way to sneak in a little "you" time when your family is driving you crazy! Vacationing in Walt Disney World has taught me many useful things and strategies to traveling with a family and I can't wait to share my experiences. I hope you find them helpful. Have a Disney Day!
