✨ Day 1 of rehearsals is officially in the books! 🎭
There’s something so exciting about the first day of a new contract—the nerves, the energy, meeting new castmates, and taking those first steps toward bringing the magic to life. Every rehearsal gets us one step closer to opening night aboard the Disney Wonder.
I’m incredibly grateful to be back doing what I love and can’t wait to share this entire journey with you—from rehearsals in Toronto to life at sea and everything in between. Here’s to eight months of making memories, creating magic, and seeing where this adventure takes us! 💙✨
What’s something you’d love to see behind the scenes during rehearsals or ship life? Let me know below! 👇

Every contract brings new challenges, new memories, and another chance to do what I love. I’m so excited to take you behind the scenes—from rehearsals in Toronto to life onboard the Disney Wonder.
Thanks for following along on this journey. This is only the beginning! ✨

✨ Chapter 3 begins today. ✨
Today marks the start of my W52 Disney Cruise Line contract, and I couldn’t be more grateful for another opportunity to do what I love.
The next several months will be filled with rehearsals, performances, unforgettable ports, incredible castmates, and plenty of adventures. Leaving home is never easy, but I know this journey will help me grow both on and off the stage.
I’m making it my goal this contract to share the behind-the-scenes moments, performer life at sea, travel adventures, and everything in between. Thank you to everyone who’s supported me and followed along on this journey—it truly means the world.
Here’s to new memories, new friendships, and a little Disney magic. See you onboard! ✨🚢💙

Pack with me for 8 months as I head out on my 3rd Disney Cruise Line contract! ✨🧳
Trying to fit my life into just two suitcases is definitely a challenge, but it’s all part of the adventure. From rehearsals to life at sea, I’m so excited to share this journey with you—from the packing chaos to the magic onboard. 🌊✨
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to live and perform on a cruise ship, you’re in the right place. Follow along because the adventure is just getting started! 🚢💙

Soooo… what a way to celebrate our 3rd anniversary! Thank you @adventuresbymaps for being my rock, my motivation and my love! I am so grateful for you each and everyday and minute of the year! Thank you for saying yes, and for coming to a drag bingo 5 years ago! ⭐️

Also- yes we just happen to be on the same flight, going to two different places! We didn’t plan this nor did we plan our seats! This is how the universe aligned it today!

Ahoy, mateys! 🏴‍☠️✨ Pirate Night on the Disney Wish is always an adventure, but sharing it with the one and only Captain Jack Sparrow made it unforgettable! From swashbuckling fun to unforgettable memories under the stars, this is Disney magic with a pirate twist.
Now... where’s the rum? 😉⚓️

One last taste of home before I set sail on my 3rd Disney Cruise Line contract! ❤️⚓️
There was only one place that felt right for my final meal—Rocky & Carlo’s—surrounded by my amazing family. And of course... I had to order the legendary Muffaletta. 🥪
I’m soaking up every moment before this next adventure begins. Here’s to new memories, incredible experiences, and another chapter at sea. See you real soon, Disney! ✨🚢❤️

Some shoots just feel like magic…⭐️
@cherylannsanders absolutely brought this vision to life, and these mirror/ water reflections created some of my favorite images! I love finding a creative way to turn simple elements into something that feels artistic, dreamy and unforgettable.

What photo is your favorite? 📸

Some people collect souvenirs... I collect towel animals. 🛳️🐘🐒 Every time housekeeping worked their magic, it made coming back to the stateroom feel like opening a little surprise gift. Which one is your favorite? I don’t think I could possibly choose! 💙✨
Disney really knows how to make even the smallest details feel extra special. These little creations brought so many smiles throughout the voyage on the Disney Adventure!

✨ 24 hours after LASIK... and I still can’t believe this is real! 👀
Yesterday I trusted the process, and today I’m waking up seeing the world in a whole new way. It’s amazing how quickly things have changed, and I’m so excited to keep watching my vision improve over the next few weeks.
No more reaching for glasses first thing in the morning. No more contacts. Just... waking up and seeing. 🤯
Huge thank you to everyone who checked in on me and sent well wishes. Here’s to clearer views and new adventures ahead! 💙

😂🍗 I was NOT prepared for the cashier’s greeting at Raising Cane’s! It caught me completely off guard and had me laughing before I even placed my order. 🤣 Customer service like that definitely makes the experience even more memorable!
Have you ever had a cashier greet you in a way that totally surprised you? Tell me your funniest fast-food experience below! ⬇️
