Here is a fun fact about Shawna that you might not know — she’s a huge Walt Disney World fan. She loves WDW for the quality of everything they do – from taking care of guests to honouring the past with little touches all around the parks to the completely immersive experience of being there. One of her favourite quotes is by Walt Disney, “It’s kind of fun to do the impossible” — we think that’s fitting based on her track record of getting results!
