Hi I’m Morgan! I’m a Disney Destinations Expert, Disney historian, and lifelong Disney fan who believes there is no one right way to do Disney.
I’ve spent more than 10 years working with Disney including time spent working for Disney Destinations, I have also been a Disney Vacation Club Member for more than 30 years, and have been an Annual Passholder for more years than I can count. Along the way, I’ve had the opportunity to work on projects you may recognize, including Disney Food Blog and AllEars.
One Man’s Dreamers was created to share what I’ve learned through all those years, from honest reviews and practical planning advice to the stories and history behind the parks.
Whether you’re planning your first Disney vacation or your fiftieth, my goal is simple: to help you create the Disney trip that’s right for you, not someone else’s version of it.
As a dedicated Disney historian, I have a deep passion for the stories, vision, and evolution behind the parks (check it out on Instagram and Facebook).
And remember, there is no right way to do Disney. I want to help you create the trip that’s right for you.
