"I’ve been to Walt Disney World Resort in Florida 43 times, the first time when I was aged one, and I even managed to get my husband on board by putting an annual Disney Parks visit in our wedding vows before we honeymooned in Disneyland Paris!," she said.
"I chose Disney as my specialist subject on Mastermind so you could say, I’m more than qualified to help guide the fans on their magical journey."
The final winner will be crowned with the title of UK’s Biggest Disney Fan in front of Cinderella Castle at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.
Speaking on the competition launch, Angelica Costantini, Vice President of Disney Destinations International UK and EMEA, described it as a "hugely exciting way for us to come together and share our Disney stories" to mark the anniversary.
