Meet Samantha
Sammy was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA, but her heart belongs in Orlando! For as long as she can remember, Sammy has traveled to Orlando to visit Walt Disney World and Universal Studios Orlando with her family. These travels started when she was 4 and have continued every year even into adulthood when she now takes her daughters and husband to Orlando at least once to twice a year (it’d be more if the husband was on board).
Having been visiting Orlando almost every year for over 25 years, Sammy has watched the theme parks and resorts grow,and even remembers the opening of Animal Kingdom and Island of Adventures. On top of taking too many family trips to count, Sammy has also performed in Disney World twice with her middle school show choir. This experience gave a magical look behind the scenes of Disney. All the trips to Orlando have created a deep Disney love and also a soft spot for all things Harry Potter.
In recent years, Sammy has been able to tie in her love for Walt Disney World and fitness together by participating in multiple runDisney events since their return post pandemic. With experience with planning stays, registering for the events, and all transportation needs, Sammy is a wonderful resource to aim for the most streamline runDisney experience – and man, is it an experience!
In between all the trips to visit Mickey and Minnie or hang out with some dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, Sammy has traveled to various tropical destinations such as Jamaica, Mexico, the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas. Traveling to a sunny beach with crystal clear, blue water is another passion of Sammy’s and has some great suggestions on local cuisine and expeditions that are a must!
With all the Orlando knowledge, Sammy has helped plan trips for family and friends heading down to Orlando and cannot wait to help you plan your next magical vacation whether it’s to find hidden Mickeys throughout Magic Kingdom or cast some spells in the Wizard World of Harry Potter!
