Kim’s experience with Disney Destinations began with an Orlando family vacation in 1980, when she first fell in love with the Magic Kingdom. She then traveled to Disneyland with her high school marching band and performed in Walt Disney World’s afternoon parade with Syracuse University’s Pride of the Orange marching band a few years later. She became a Walt Disney World Cast Member right after graduation and remained with the company for 11 years.
Kim’s Disney vacation experience is extensive as well. Her trips to Walt Disney World have ranged from the romantic (guess where she got engaged?) to the young family getaway while on a budget to the multi-generational Grand Gathering. She is an expert at exploring “the World” while accounting for the unique needs of infants, toddlers, preschoolers, school-aged children, young adults, pregnant women, active adults, and adults with mobility difficulties. She has stayed at most of the Disney Resorts (Value, Moderate, Deluxe, and Deluxe Villa categories) and is a member of the Disney Vacation Club.
As a relatively new runner, several of Kim’s most recent visits to Walt Disney World and Disneyland have been centered around the events of Disney’s Endurance Series. She is now the proud owner of medals from the 2008 Race for the Taste, the 2009 Walt Disney World Half Marathon, the 2009 Disneyland Half Marathon, the 2009 Coast to Coast Challenge, the 2010 Walt Disney World Marathon and the 2010 Disney’s Princess Half Marathon. She even took time out of her latest Disney Cruise Line vacation to complete the Castaway Cay 5K! She hopes to add the coveted Goofy medal to her collection upon completion of Goofy’s Race and a Half Challenge in January 2011.
As a graduate of the College of Disney Knowledge, Kimberly Oehrlein is a Disney Specialist, which indicates an individual who has attained a special knowledge of Disney Destinations (not an agent, affiliate or employee of Disney).
