Get to know us

Behind the Wish was born from a lifelong love of Disney and a lot of quiet encouragement I ignored for far too long.

For years, friends and family have come to me for help with Disney trips.
“How do I book this?”
“When should we go?”
“Can you just look over our plan?”

And almost every time, someone would say, “You should really do something with this.”

I always laughed it off.

Not because I didn’t love it but because I didn’t think I could. I convinced myself it wasn’t realistic, that I wasn’t qualified enough, that it was easier to help everyone else than take my own advice. Looking back, I realise I was very good at creating my own roadblocks.

Behind the Wish is me finally stepping around them.

It’s the result of years of Disney knowledge, countless conversations, and a decision to start listening to the same advice I’ve always given others, start small, be intentional, and trust what you already know.

This space isn’t about selling the dream of “doing everything.” It’s about understanding how Disney actually works, behind the scenes, behind the timing, behind the moments that quietly shape the experience.

I believe the best Disney trips aren’t the busiest ones. They’re the ones that feel calm, considered, and somehow effortless.

Behind the Wish is where I share:

  • Thoughtful planning without overwhelm

  • Honest tips that respect your time and energy

  • The small, often-overlooked details that make the magic feel real

This is Disney through a slower, smarter lens. Built on love, experience, and finally taking my own advice.

Because sometimes the biggest step isn’t making a wish.

It’s believing you’re allowed to follow it. ✨

Our team

Behind the Wish isn’t a big operation, it’s just me. For years, I’ve been the person behind the answers in those support chats, helping untangle bookings, explain the systems, and make Disney feel less overwhelming (yes, one of those replies was probably mine). Everything I share here is the same advice I give to friends, family, and use for our own travels, thoughtful, honest, and genuinely rooted in experience. It’s not about selling magic; it’s about quietly supporting you so the magic has space to happen. ✨
