Meet the Henderson-Strickland Family
Meet Deandra Henderson and Brie Strickland, two busy moms and best friends who want to cater to their little girls' imaginations and ensure they get the princess treatment.
"My Disney Vacation far exceeded my expectations. The thing that I loved most was finding out that the Disney World theme parks had more to offer than just rides. I also like how different countries are highlighted at the "World Showcase". It gives you a chance to get some exposure to other cultures. I can't wait to return!" – Brie Strickland
"The most enjoyable part of my Disney Vacation was being with my daughter, my BFF, and her daughter, getting up bright and early each day, going to the various Disney Parks and watching the girls experience the magic. Watching DeAsia's eyes light up when she actually hugged and took pictures with Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Daisy and the rest of the characters. Watching her transform into a real princess at the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique, it was all surreal for me so I know she was in awe!" – Deandra Henderson

What do you look for in a family vacation?"When I take a vacation I look for "atmosphere" , meaning it has to awaken me visually before I book. I have to see the destination and yearn to be there just from looking at how tranquil, exciting, fun, inspiring and relaxing it appears. I also look for family friendly places , since I have a young child, it is important that she is stimulated and enjoying herself just as much as I am." — Deandra
"I look for a vacation that offers enjoyment and activities that involve everyone. I also look for convenience to things that we will need while on vacation (i.e.: restaurants at the resort)." — Brie
What challenges have you had in planning a family vacation in the past?"Biggest challenge I have faced is finding accommodations that cater to the needs of my family and not cost me a half of fortune, or when it does cost a great deal, it still lacks the accommodating qualities I am looking for. This vacation taught me a huge lesson, if you go to Disney stay on a Disney Resort. Port Orleans Riverside Resort was sooo catering and accommodating. It was amazing! I loved it." — Deandra
Please describe the most enjoyable part of your Disney World Experience?"The most enjoyable part of my Disney World Experience was having a front row seat to one of the most memorable trips my daughter will ever have. Seeing her reactions to some of the activities we planned at Disney World was the most enjoyable part for me. My happiness comes from her being happy." — Brie
What did you experience during this trip that you did not expect?"The whole convenience of staying at a Walt Disney World Resort. Having access to restaurants, shuttle buses, and even pharmacy delivery was phenomenal!" — Brie
"I did not expect to have so much unadulterated fun! I have been to Disney before, and I NEVER had so much fun going until this trip. Usually you go away for a week and you are like "yea, I have had a good time, but I miss home and want to go home". This trip I said " NOOO I wanna stay!" Here I am a grown women with obligations and a home to keep up. SO hilarious. and I was sooo serious! We had a ball!" — Deandra
Did the Disney Vacation meet or exceed your expectation?"The Disney Vacation exceeded my expectations by far! I have never done all the parks so thoroughly until this trip. I never saw the fireworks on the water at Epcot so close before, and that experience was breathtaking. I enjoyed every bit of this vacation. It was truly one to go down in my memoir of once in a lifetime fantastic moments!!!!" — Deandra
