Jessie is a former educator with years of experience penning prose for various individuals, organizations, and online publications. She's a life-long lover of Disney animation and storytelling and a frequent visitor to Disney Parks with her family. As an East Tennessee girl, Walt Disney World is her home resort, and she enjoys experiencing a different resort hotel to the fullest each time she goes. Simple Disney pleasures are where it's at for her - like watching the Electrical Water Pageant from a resort beach, or enjoying a frozen treat from Sunshine Tree Terrace while soaking up the Adventureland atmosphere. Her favorite attractions include Pirates of the Caribbean, Living With the Land, the PeopleMover, and Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, among many others.
