She's worked in the travel industry for over 17 years and owns Storybook Destinations. While Tammy's favorite way to travel is on a cruise ship, she's never turned her nose up at a vacation.

Tammy lived in Europe for five years as a military brat and has been a military spouse for over 30 years, living in almost every corner of the United States. When she isn't traveling, you can find her enjoying her family, buying camera equipment, and planning her next trip.

Len Testa is coauthor of the Unofficial Guides series, covering Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Las Vegas, Universal Orlando, and Washington, D.C. While Len has published works in travel, computer science, and endocrinology, it's widely acknowledged that he's just the pretty face for a group of people way more talented than he is (and "pretty face" is a stretch at best). Len sends love to his daughter, Hannah.

Erin Foster was a charter member of the Disney Parks Moms Panel (now the planDisney panel). She has been on many sailings of the Magic, Wonder, Dream, Fantasy, and Wish, including the Wish's maiden voyage in 2022. Erin is a regular contributor to the blog at TouringPlans.
