Hi, We're The Pixie Packed Family

Welcome! We're so glad you're here.

The Pixie Packed Family

I'm Vanessa — a wife, mom of four, grandma, and full-time caregiver to our son Seth. In 2021 I stepped away from teaching to care for him full-time, and our family sold nearly everything to travel the country in a fifth-wheel camper. Then in March 2023, our first Disney vacation together changed everything — watching Seth's joy reminded us why we do this. We were hooked, and in 2025 we moved to Kissimmee, Florida, when my husband Troy joined the Disney team.

The Pixie Packed Family is everything we've learned along the way: honest planning tips, real gear we use, and a little pixie magic — so your family can spend less time stressing over details and more time making memories.

See you in the parks! — Vanessa
