Hi! I’m Elizabeth—an elementary art teacher turned Disney travel planner with a deep love for art and travel.

After spending 10 years as an art teacher, I decided to follow my heart and help other teachers experience the joy of a well-planned Disney vacation. I know firsthand how hard educators work and how much they need and deserve a little pixie dust. Whether you’re planning a family trip over spring break, a solo recharge over the summer, or your very first visit to the parks, I’m here to make it simple, stress-free, and spectacular.

I created Chalkboard Castle to be a go-to space for teachers who love Disney as much as I do. Here, you’ll find trip-planning tips made for real educator schedules and budgets, creative packing guides, discount advice, sample itineraries, and a whole lot of sparkle.

When I’m not planning vacations, you’ll find me crafting Disney-inspired projects, organizing themed park bags, or researching the latest updates from the parks (yes, even the snack menus).

So whether you’re a first-grade teacher dreaming of Main Street USA or a high school counselor hoping to unwind at the Polynesian, welcome! You’re in the right place—and your dream trip starts now.

Let’s make your Disney vacation as magical as your classroom.
