Welcome!

Hi, I’m Alishia Egenhoff the crazy Disney fanatic behind Disneyland Dreaming and this is my family the Egenhoffs.

 
My husband, Richard, and I grew up in rural Oregon and met in a very small town that most people probably haven't heard of while we were still in high school. After high school we took the typical path of going to college, getting married, finding good jobs, buying a house, and starting a family. Happily ever after!

But wait, life throws curve balls, and we will let “happily after after” be saved for the Disney movies. I’m sure you all remember what happened in 2020? Well along with the world, our lives took a detour. Having worked in the medical industry for over a decade it was time for me to move on. Having a marketing and operations background I started working at a local marketing agency. Except something still didn't feel just right. I was exhausted from burning the candle at both ends going from working semi part-time to full-time and still trying to keep up with allll the things. I wonder if Disney villains feel the same way. Maybe that's why they are so cranky! 😆

That's when an idea came to me! I left the 9-5 gig and ventured down the path of entrepreneurship opening my own marketing agency focused on social media. But, in the back of my mind, I knew there was a project of passion brewing. That year we had visited Disneyland a total of three times. Every time we loved it even more! Part of the idea came from the constant flow of friends and family asking me how we "do it", what was our best advice, where should they stay, etc. You get the point. The other part was out of passion. I loved that people wanted to ask me for advice and I loved sharing our tips and tricks even more. I believe that every family should have the opportunity to visit Disney while their kids are still young. Why? Because it is literally the only place I'm aware of where I can be a kid with my kids. It's like being in a magical bubble.

 
So every time we tell our friends and family "we are going to Disney", they probably think we are insane, but we love it and want to share our love of vacationing at Disney with you!
