Scott Donahue (WDW Daily News Owner/Website and Newsletter Senior Content Editor) -

I am a 39 year old husband and father of two daughters under 12 years old.  I am a Middle School teacher & coach who was introduced to Walt Disney World by my wife (who is also a teacher) in 2003.  Since our first visit to Walt Disney World in 2003, our family has made 25 trips to the Orlando area and several to Disneyland.  By being teachers, our family can only visit Walt Disney World or Disneyland during the Peak Seasons. As a result we have been forced to use a little trial-and-error on each trip.  Throughout our vacations we have developed strategies that allow us to maximize each vacation, and to make it as stress-free as possible.  Believe it or not Walt Disney World would seem very weird to us if there weren’t crowds.  I guess it adds to the excitement for us.  I hope you enjoy our site and weekly newsletter and it brings some enjoyment to your life!

Hey everyone! I’m Matt, your typical Disney obsessed guy living in Jacksonville, Florida. I have been to Walt Disney World more times than I have kept track of, yet still haven’t made it out to Disneyland in California. WDW is like a second home to me – I’ve been going there since I could talk – and I’ll continue the tradition. Everything about WDW I love: the rides, shows, sights, smells, tastes, and sounds. It really is a magical place. When I’m not closely following everything “Disney”, I occupy my time with my second favorite thing: anything to do with technology. I am proud to be a Christian and am not afraid to admit it!  While you’re in the Disney mood, check out my blog WDW Central: with news, articles, tips, polls, planning info and more on Walt Disney World.

Hello world! My name is Adam and I am the author of the “My Corner of the World” column  in the newsletter.  Some of you might know me as disneyfanatic101 from different Disney forums around the net.  I am a HUGE Disney and Disney World fan.  We have been going to WDW for a while now.  We always go around Christmas.  When you combine my two favorite things, Christmas and Disney World, what can be better?!  I like all of the parks in WDW but the two that are my absolute favorite is the Magic Kingdom and Epcot.  I love to take pictures on my trip.  In fact on my last trip I took over 700 pictures!  So that is pretty much it.  My column was the first new column in the newsletter and it is basically my thoughts, tips, ideas, information, reviews, and more that are going on in the “Wonderful World of Disney” and other things that I find interesting. I hope you enjoy my column and as Mickey would say, “See Ya Real Soon!”

Hey Everyone! I’m Tiffany, I’ve been going to WDW since 1997, and have gone a total of 7 times. I took a Disney Cruise on the Wonder at the end of my 2003 Disney vacation, and can’t wait to do it again! I have also recently been to Disneyland in California, I went at the beginning of March 2009. I love Disneyland and Walt Disney World and can’t wait to explore the other Disney theme parks around the world. Besides my love of Disney I scrapbook. I have scrap booked all of my Disney trips and have done a few others as well. I also love Photography, I’m not the best by any means but I do think I do pretty well. I graduated high school in 2006, a year early. I worked hard to graduate early and I continue working hard towards my goals. I feel the harder you work the faster your goals get accomplished. I love traveling and hope to go cross-country by train from New York to Los Angeles just like Walt Disney did several times in his life. Also I like traveling the back roads of the country, just to see where it all got started.  Details are the greatest part of Walt Disney World and Disney theme parks I think, I love to look and point them out to new Disney travelers. My two favorite parks are Magic Kingdom and Epcot I could spend days in them both and not get tired of them. I hope you all enjoy my weekly articles, and so long!!

WOW!!! These are hard acts to follow……..I am so excited and blessed to be part of this group! The only thing I love more than Disney, is sharing my experiences with others. My family and I began our Disney travels in 1993 when our children were 8 and 6. I think my husband and I fell in love with the experience more than the boys did! I am nearly 50 years old and the magic still gets me going. I love the planning and research required to make a memorable vacation. We try to go 4 times a year now and every season is magical. Our sons travel with us once a year when their schedules allow. We still find it to be the best place to re-connect as a family. I even chaperoned a marching band trip to the World!! My sons are now in college, one is studying to be a teacher and one wants to be a chef. I am working toward my Black Belt in Karate, taking lessons from my son! Technology scares me, but photography has always been a hobby of mine…..I wish my skill showed how much I enjoy it! My husband and I are trying to plan our retirement……hopefully in sunny Florida!! Until then we will continue to travel to the Sunshine State as long as God blesses us with the opportunity!! And I will keep Sharing the Magic with you……Blessings!

Hi Everyone! I am so excited to be a part of WDW Daily News & WDW Newsletter. It has been a dream of mine for a long time to somehow share my love of Disney and the information I have collected with others. I am a 28-year-old mother of a little boy who wishes he could live at Walt Disney World. I had my first WDW trip as a child and always remember it fondly. My husband and I decided to take our first trip as a family in 2007 and have been hooked since, and go as much as we can. I hope I can offer some advice and tips to all of you who are planning trips to the most magical place in the world!

Beth Doda (Columnist of “Making Magical Memories”/Facebook Page Manager) -

I am so excited to be a part of the WDW Daily News team! I’ve been to Disney 12 times in my life, three of those as a mom, and I would consider myself a Disney fanatic, as would my friends and family! I was hooked my first trip in 1986 as a teenager. Every trip I have taken since then has been special, but my most cherished moments are those with my children, who are ages 5, 3 and 2. My son has been to Walt Disney World three times and both my daughters have been twice. I’ve traveled to Disney with them as infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Each trip taught me valuable lessons about planning a vacation that will be fun for all but not overwhelming. I look forward to sharing what I have learned on these trips, and some of my own Magical Memories, to help you plan a trip that will have many Magical Memories for you and your children!
