I am a proud husband and father of 3 awesome children. I am a 4th grade teacher and high school boys basketball coach. We took our first WDW trip when our oldest 2 yrs old and have loved all things Disney ever since. We love to talk about Disney and look forward to our next trip when our last child will experience WDW for the first time.
