About Joshua Powell

From the moment I first experienced the magic of Disney as a child, I've been hooked, and that love has only grown stronger over the years. Now, I have the incredible opportunity to share that enchantment with my wife, Jaimie, and our children, Ben and Ava, as we create new Disney memories together. I'm truly blessed to combine my passion for Disney with my love for writing by contributing to MagicGuides.com, where I can help others turn their Disney dreams into reality by sharing my family's firsthand experiences from the parks.
