A Bit About Mary Lauren
Mary Lauren loves everything Disney, Universal, and cruising! She's always looking for the best deals so let her know how she can help!
First Disney Trip: My first trip to Disney was in 1995. I was 6 years old so I don't remember much about the trip. However, in 2002 my dad surprised us, and we went back when I was 13. I remember that 5 of us loaded up in my mother's Grand Marquis and drove 13 hours to the most Magical Place. We then went on to Daytona and spent a few days at the beach! We then drove back and got stuck in STANDSTILL traffic in Atlanta with all 5 of us in the car. It was a trip I will never forget.
Favorite theme park: My favorite theme park is Hollywood Studios. Mickey's hat was my favorite part of the park (RIP). Sorcerer Mickey is my favorite one so huge fan of Fantasmic. I love how they have added Toy Story and Star Wars. I bought a white 4runner because of how much they look like Stormtroopers :D
Rides I NEVER miss: I have my must rides at each park. Magic Kingdom - Splash Mountain (now Tiana's). Hollywood Studios - Tower of Terror (overall favorite ride). Epcot - Soarin'. Animal Kingdom - Kilimanjaro Safaris.
I am a huge Harry Potter and Minions fan, too, so I can't leave out Universal. The atmosphere is magnetic for someone who loves Harry Potter. My favorite rides there are: The Forbidden Journey and Minion Mayhem!
Restaurants I always recommend: This is tough. We are big breakfast fans over here. Anything with Mickey Waffles, I'm going. If I had to choose, Chef Mickey will always be on the list!
Best vacation ever: My mom and dad took our entire family to Gettysburg in 2012. My dad had a detailed itinerary for us to follow including stops to use the bathroom. We loaded up 4 cars and ventured 12 hours from Tennessee to Pennsylvania and spent a week there. It was really the last time my dad was able to travel like that before he got sick. We spent the first night in a small motel with nothing to eat except our sandwiches in the cooler and snacks from the vending machines. We all split up our food, played games, and just had the best time being all together.
Favorite vacation spot: Ft. Walton/Destin, FL, seaside of Maine, cruising, and of course, Disney and Universal.
My Bucket List Trip: Scotland and Ireland
My specialty: Disney, Universal, and cruising!
