Allison Thommen is a Registered Dietitian by day and a mom to two little girls by night. Allison and her family have lived in Florida since 2021 and living close to the theme parks and the Space Coast are some of their favorite things about life in the Sunshine State. They are Universal & Disney World annual passholders - they are in the parks almost every weekend. They are also Disney Vacation Club members, their love for Disney runs deep… their first daughter was named after Sleeping Beauty! Allison’s favorite place in the whole world is the beach at the Polynesian Village Resort and could sit there for hours (with a Dole Whip in hand of course). In her free time, Allison loves to read spicy books (with the occasional mystery or thriller thrown in there). She prefers audiobooks in this season of life - because anything to make laundry and cleaning fun is a win in her book! Allison moderates the Orlando Mom Book Club and the Village Facebook groups.
