My first visit to Walt Disney World at the age of 5 launched a lifetime of travel to the most magical places on earth — and even beyond to a galaxy far, far away. As a diehard Disney and Star Wars fan, I couldn’t have wished upon a star for a better job — my career in theme park journalism takes me on epic voyages to the Disney theme parks, resorts, and even the high seas aboard Disney Cruise Line. When I’m not visiting Disney destinations for work, I’m there for fun, accompanied by my husband and 7- and 10-year-old Padawans.

And that’s why I’m so excited to share just some of the upcoming 2024 events at Disneyland Resort — from the opening of a new hotel to run weekends and dozens of celebrations. I keep readers up to speed on all things new and notable in the world of Disney travel and entertainment and share tips and tricks to help people plan Disney vacations with the precision of an X-wing pilot and navigate the theme parks with the prowess of a Jedi.
