Meet the Team – Carmela Poggemeyer began her love affair with Disney at a young age. Her family took frequent annual trips to California, where she first experienced the magic of Mickey at Disneyland. Since then, she has visited the Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort, countless times.
When Carmela isn’t talking Disney travel, you’ll probably find her in the kitchen. She attended culinary school at the prestigious Culinary Institute of America. There she worked as a professional cook. Since food is one of her passions, most of her family’s Disney adventures revolve around food.
Recently, Carmela began a personal shopping service at the Walt Disney World Resort, making her trips rather frequent. Sometimes she visits the Florida parks bi-weekly!
Carmela even attended this year’s Taste of EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival. While she was there she hunted down Orange Bird merchandise and rare finds for her clients.
