About the Writer:
Hello Everyone! I am Kevin Carroll and I have been very fortunate to have many opportunities to visit Walt Disney World growing up, all in thanks to my grandparents. I remember each visit, running through the parks, grabbing Mickey pretzels, waiting for the parade, watching fireworks and experiencing my all-time favorite show/dinner party, the Hoop Dee-Doo Revue. As I prepare to provide my own son a lifetime of Disney, I hope that I can do the same for you! Let’s create some memories and magical experiences! kevin@diznvacations.com
