Lex Around the World

A blog about travel, especially locations that take us into our favorite fandoms and stories

About Me

Hey there! My name is Lex and I am here to help with all your questions before your next Walt Disney World vacation!

I grew up in Connecticut and got a marketing degree from UConn. However, my years in college made me realize that a typical office job was not for me.

I was lucky enough to spend three semesters abroad in Florence, Edinburgh, and Barcelona. I absolutely fell in love with travel and exploring new places. Even after my first program I knew that my future was in the tourism industry.

About Me- Florence
About Me- Notre Dame

Then I had a bit of an unexpected life change when I decided to enroll in the Disney College Program. The College Program was always a dream of mine, but I didn’t know it would completely change my life. 

Lex Around the World- about me

Working in the parks was so much fun that I packed up my bags and moved down to Florida to work for the mouse full time. I have spent the majority of my time with Disney working in a merchandise role and have been lucky enough to have had home locations of EPCOT, Typhoon Lagoon, Hollywood Studios, and Disney Springs. I have loved each location, and they have all shaped my Disney career journey. Now, I have grown to be a merchandise manager at Magic Kingdom!

I have always enjoyed helping friends and family with travel tips and planning, whether it be somewhere I have visited near home or abroad. Now, I have started this blog to help all of you prepare for your future trips!

Let me share my Disney and travel tips and adventures with you! Be sure to subscribe to my email list to stay up to date with my pots and follow along on social media for all things Disney and more!

Overall, I did actually enjoy the ride once I made Overall, I did actually enjoy the ride once I made it through🫣

🖤 So real talk I am a BIG baby (you will not see me at HHN).. so I wasn’t sure what to expect here. However, the land was really cool! I was nervous it would be “scary,” but no, it was truly just what the name says, Dark!

🤍 The land does a great job with theming and telling the stories of the different characters. I definitely have to come back and explore here more someday!

🐺As for Monsters Unchained, yes I did watch with my eyes basically closed, but it was actually really cool! I think next time I ride I’ll be a bit braver🙈

🦇 Leo was a lot braver and enjoyed this attraction! 

💚Happy grand opening to Dark Universe and all of Epic Universe! 

✨Share with a friend who is a weenie like me🙈😂 They’ll want to see that they’ll still enjoy this land!

🫧 The trail around the lake at Art of Animation & Pop Century Resorts is so fun and relaxing! I like that it connects 2 value level resorts with similar feels. You can check out all the larger than life characters!
