As a child,
Robin was lucky enough to visit Walt Disney World and
Disneyland more than a few times. As an adult, she lived
in Tampa for 11 years and had the opportunity to visit
WDW often as well. However, her love for Disney grew
even more special when Robin and her husband took their
first born child to Disney when he was only 1 1/2 years
old. There was nothing more special than seeing Disney
through the eyes of her child and she was impossibly
hooked! Since her son's 1st visit in 1999, her family
has grown with the addition of two daughters, and their
love for Disney has grown as well--they have returned to
WDW 15 times since and have even been on a Disney
Cruise! So far, she has stayed at 10 of the onsite
resorts, experienced many of the extra activities
outside of the parks, attended several of the special
event parties, visited during the holidays, peak season
and off, and has even experienced much of what Orlando
and Tampa have to offer. Over the years Robin has
enjoyed sharing her experiences and expertise with
family, friends, and travel message boards, and she is
happy to finally be living the dream of spreading the
magic professionally, as a Disney Destination Planner
with Magical Travel.
Robin is a graduate of Concorde
Career Institute in Tampa, Florida and was a Dental
Assistant for years before leaving to start a family and
be a Stay-at-Home-Mom. Now that her kids are all in
school, she has re-entered the work force and is a
graduate of the Disney College of Knowledge. Robin is
also a Marriott Hotel Specialist.

Hi! My name is Rebecca
Schwesig, and I’m from St. Louis, Missouri. My love
affair with Disney began at a very young age when my
family lived just minutes from Disneyland in California.
I’ve been a fan for as long as I can remember. As an
adult I’ve formed a new appreciation for Disney after
seeing it through the eyes of my children. I just can’t
get enough – we find ourselves going back year after
year! I feel very lucky to have a wonderful husband and
two daughters who share my enthusiasm.
I didn’t
start my career in the travel business; in fact, I’m a
former high school art teacher. But after several years
helping family and friends plan vacations to the
“Happiest Place on Earth,” I knew I’d found a calling!
