STEPHANIE SHUSTER

I’m a life-long Disney devotee, living in Hamilton, Canada and dreaming of WDW every day.
For me, Disney is more than a vacation destination - it's my home away from home, a place to
create treasured memories, and a lifestyle. As the Director of Operations for WDW Magazine
and Dad’s Guide to WDW, I have the best job in the world - sharing Disney love, all day every
day! If you’d like to connect, follow me on social media!

Dave Shute by day is a business strategist and on nights and weekends writes
yourfirstvisit.net, which Lee Cockerell, former Executive Vice President of Disney World’s
Parks and Resorts, calls “astonishingly helpful”

Hi. My name is Carl Trent and I have the greatest job in the world. As the Publisher of WDW
Magazine and Dad from Dad’s Guide to WDW, I get to spend all my time thinking about and
writing about, and dreaming of Walt Disney World. It just doesn’t get any better than that."
