Jacqueline has thoroughly embraced her Disney mid-life crisis! Over the last four years, this autism mom, long-time teacher and runDisney enthusiast has made multiple trips to the most magical place on Earth. After the events of 12/14, in need of pixie dust, Jacqueline booked a spur of the moment trip to Disney World for her family of four. They had the time of their lives and couldn’t wait to book a bounce-back! With family trips and runDisney challenges on both coasts, Jacqueline is most certainly channeling her inner Minnie Mouse! Jacqueline is a Type A planner who is passionate about vacation spreadsheets, Dole Whips, and maximizing photo ops with her family. She lives in Southbury, CT with her husband, two children, and extensive collection of mouse ears.
