Allison Thommen is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist turned stay at home mom to two little girls, Aurora and Aubree. She and her husband have been married since 2015 and had dreamed of living in Orlando since they were in college. They moved from Detroit to Clermont in the summer of 2022. They are Disney World annual passholders and are in the parks almost every week. They are also Disney Vacation Club members, their love for Disney runs deep… did you catch that their first daughter was named after Sleeping Beauty? As a family they also love outer space, so they are excited about being so close to the Space Coast. 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, sew, watch reruns of The Big Bang Theory and binge watch new shows on Netflix! Allison moderates the Orlando Mom Book Club and the Village Facebook groups.
