Hello! My name is Mrs.
Abuyo. You're probably wondering how a girl from Willard, Missouri (don't
worry, no one knows where it is) found her way to Kansas City, via Orlando,
FL. Well, here's the story.
About the age of 5 I
always knew I wanted to work for Disney. I didn't care what I did, I just
wanted to work for the "Mouse". Throughout high school, while the rest of my
friends were deciding what they were going to do for the rest of their
lives, I was deciding how I was getting to Walt Disney World. I began
college at Southwest Missouri State (it's MSU now) and decided to major in
Elementary Education. Disney History was not an option. I soon discovered
something called the "Walt Disney World College Program." In '98, I took off
a semester and began working for Disney. I worked at Sega inside Epcot. You
guessed it, I played video games all day long. While working there, I had
the pleasure of meeting a man that would later become my husband. I went
back to school but continued to spend my summers working at Walt Disney
World. After graduating in 2002, I made a permanent move to Orlando. Instead
of going back to work at Walt Disney World, I decided to focus on my other
passion, helping kids love what they're learning. After three years of
teaching at Three Points Elementary, my husband applied for a transfer back
to the Midwest and here we are. We live in our house in Raytown with our two
dogs, Yoshi and Oscar. They have their own page. Click here to learn more about them.
While teaching, I
developed a love for children's literature. Recently, I obtained my Master's
Degree as a Media Specialist from Florida State University.
