Embrace the Squiggle
From Pediatric Nurse to Professional Disney Expert with Leslie Lowry of Addicted to the Mouse
Have you wanted to merge your passions with your career but aren't sure how to make the leap? This episode covers how Leslie leaped from her comfortable full-time job as a nurse into the business of Disney!
This week on Embrace the Squiggle Colleen and Kristine, speak with Leslie Lowry who you may know from her business and podcast, Addicted to the Mouse.
She started her career as a pediatric nurse and got her masters and became a nursing instructor. It was during this time that Leslie took her family to Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL for the first time. Seeing her two small sons' faces light up during that week, Leslie knew her true calling was to help as many families as she could make those same magical memories.
Leslie became a part-time Travel Agent Specializing in Disney Destinations in 2015 and hasn't looked back. In 2020, after the world began reopening from the pandemic, Leslie and her husband Dan decided to open their own Travel Agency and share their passion for planning memorable vacations with as many families as possible. They have a team of professional travel advisors that all contribute to a wonderful supportive culture, where they collaborate on new ways to "make magic." They co-own Fantastical Vacations, a concierge travel agency, specializing in Disney Destinations
Her podcast, Addicted to the Mouse, which she and her husband Dan began in 2017. And you can watch their adventures on their YouTube channel of the same name. They publish two podcasts and two videos per week and love every minute of it.
