I got a call from a photo agency in California asking me to work with a beautiful Brazilian actress at a few Orlando locations in August 2013 for the Brazilian magazine Quem. The magazine had set up times and locations to meet up with Disney media relations cast members at the Magic Kingdom and at the Mall of Millennia.

I met Natallia Rodrigues at the Hilton at Bonnet Creek, just outside of Disney property. Quem writer Giulianna Campos was also there to lead the way, and provided great artistic direction. Since I knew that Portuguese was the primary language of Brazil, I also asked my friend Jason Crane to come along. Jason travels to Brazil for work as a real estate agent, and has picked up the language.

Two Disney shuttles escorted us to the Magic Kingdom, where Natallia spent some private time with Mickey Mouse! Next was a quick stop at Gaston’s Tavern for LeFou’s Brew, a frozen apple drink. We then rode a few rides, including Goofy’s Barnstormer Roller Coaster, Mad Tea Party and Dumbo. The Disney safety team had a special harness for me to wear, so my cameras wouldn’t go flying on any of the rides we went on.

We then traveled to the Mall of Millenia in Orlando, where Natallia shopped at Carmen Steffens for shoes and purses.

Natallia loved her visit, and even went back to Disney the following day… without me. :( She loves the photo app Instagram, and posted several photos during our day.

I had a great day with Natallia and wish her the best!
