BEHIND THE Magic
Hey there! I’m MacKenzie, your go-to guide for all things theme park magic. If you’re anything like me, theme parks hold a special place in your heart. The rides, the food, the magic—it’s an experience that never gets old, and I’m here to make sure you have the best time possible, whether it’s your first visit or your tenth!
A Little Bit About Me
Ever since I was little, after my first trip to Disneyland (long before the California Adventure days—when I was only four years old), I longed for the day when I could return. Fast forward over 20 years later, I finally made it back with my own son grandparents in tow, and we’ve been hooked ever since! Now our family trips revolve around what theme park to explore, picking out our themed outfits, and honing in our ride strategies.
After visiting parks like Disneyland, Universal Studios, and Six Flags countless times, I decided to turn my love for theme parks into something more. So, I started this blog to help YOU get the most out of your theme park visits.
With years of experience exploring the parks, I’ve become a bit of an nerd on everything from the best time to ride Space Mountain and avoiding spending extra money on Lighting Lanes to snagging mobile food orders before time slots run out and making the most of every Disney day. Whether you’re looking for tips on the best Disneyland rides or the ultimate packing list for a Universal Studios trip, I’ve got you covered!
