Alexx continued her love for Disney by implementing it into her classroom as a former High school English teacher. Now being a mom of two, Alexx continues to share her love for Disney with her two children. She designed her children’s bedrooms and playroom to reflect the magic of Disney.
While Alexx loves going to Disney, one of the things that excites her the most is planning all of the little details of the trip.

Becky Sass
Becky’s Disney travels found themselves in a revival when she planned her honeymoon, which was spent with her husband at Walt Disney World followed by a Disney cruise (“Disney by land and by sea,” as she called it). Because she worked with a travel agent who had no Disney experience, Becky had to quickly learn on her own what was valuable in creating a memorable Disney vacation for a happy couple.
After a few other grown-up getaways to WDW (once with her mother and then again with her brother!), she wholeheartedly agrees with Walt’s words: That’s the real trouble with the world. Too many people grow up. While Becky loves working with families, she’s also available to help plan your Disneymoon, bachelor/ette celebration, graduation trip, or other adults-only getaway.
Becky lives just outside of Chicago with her husband, Brian. She also works as a academic counselor for a college in the heart of Chicago.
