With our first trip to Disney World, just about two years ago, and our quick escape just last week, we started a family love of the whole magical phenomenon revolving around Mickey. Ok, maybe some of us are more into it then others, but everyone is coming around to the idea that Disney is a wonderful escape from reality. We’ve worked with Lauren and Joanna, otherwise known as the 2 Disney Chicks, for both of our trips. We wanted to get to know them a bit more, so we asked them if they would indulge us by answering a few questions. Here is what they had to say!
How did you both come to be travel agents specializing in Disney?
We had both experienced several Disney destinations and thoroughly enjoyed the level of service that Disney provides their guests. We also both booked our vacations with Ears of Experience and found the process very simplified. We knew that it would be the right fit for us.
What do you love most about what you do?
We are very detail oriented and enjoy working with our clients from start to finish during the planning process. Each family is unique and we love that we can help create special memories that they will cherish for a lifetime.
Do you still have fun planning your own families Disney vacations?
Planning for our families is always fun! We both involve our families in the planning process. And we always like to try something we have never done on a previous trip.
What are your favorite Disney destinations to visit?
Lauren:
The Disney Cruise Line. Aboard the ships, you receive Disney’s high level of service, but in a more relaxed atmosphere. There are things to do for the entire family, from the kids clubs to adult only restaurants. We really enjoy being able to see the world and different cultures.
Joanna:
Walt Disney World. Visiting from childhood with my parents, to adulthood with my own children, there are so many memories that I cherish. As the parks are always changing there is an opportunity with each trip to make new memories.
What are your favorite experiences at Walt Disney World?
Lauren:
My favorite thing to do is to walk down Main Street. I love seeing the excitement on everyone’s faces.
Joanna:
Currently Epcot is one of my favorite parks, especially exploring the countries during the Flower and Garden Festival. Spring is always my favorite time to visit WDW.
Are there any little known facts or secrets you might share with our readers?
It isn’t a secret, but Disney is always changing, and that is part of the fun! We love searching for Hidden Mickey’s and the newest attraction, Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway has the most hidden Mickey’s than any other Disney attraction or area in the world! You might be able to get a “Paw”tograph at Tony’s Town Square…ask a Cast Member at the restaurant podium. Play A Pirate’s Adventure-Treasures of the Seven Seas and complete at least 2 missions; and you may receive a free FastPass+ for Pirates of the Caribbean.
What are some places that you enjoy visiting when you aren’t doing Disney?
Lauren:
My family is spread out across the United States, so when we are not traveling to Disney, we enjoy visiting our loved ones who reside in Florida, Arizona and California.
Joanna:
My family loves to travel! We tend to lean toward active vacations. Alaska and London are top on our list where we got to experience some unforgettable experiences.
What are some of your favorite local places to visit?
Kettle, White Dog Café, Argyle Boutique, Posh, Ruthie’s Eyes
While a Disney vacation isn’t something most of us can swing on a regular basis, talking about Disney sure is fun! Getting to know Lauren and Joanna has kept the magic going a bit longer for us as we come off of our most recent, very quick, Disney getaway.
