Michele Atwood

Michele Atwood is a life-long Disney Enthusiast and fan who has turned her love of all things Disney into a full time job. Born in Michigan, Michele began traveling to Disney World with her family as a child, and started taking regular trips ever since. Michele has an educational background in Finance, and worked in the Investment Banking field until 2010. Michele also was self employed by making Disney themed accessories and worked the art show circuit for her business, Cindershella’s Boutique. With Disney at the forefront, she decided to share her love of The Mouse with others and create The Main Street Mouse back in late 2009. The idea for the site came during a trip to the Walt Disney World Resort with her husband Scott in 2008. The goal Michele had was to create a place for Disney Fans to congregate and share Disney Information, as well as their own personal memories and stories. Also, keeping in mind her two sons, Andrew and Aidan, who she also groomed to be Disney Enthusiasts, she wanted to make TMSM a place for Disney Fans of all ages.

In March of 2017, Michele’s first book, “Moving to Main Street, U.S.A.” was released and has done very well right out of the gate. After receiving feedback on the book and on her “Disney in the City, Confessions of a Grown Up Disney Princess” articles featured in The Main Street Monthly Magazine, the idea to launch micheleatwood.com aka Princess in the City was born. In this new lifestyle blog, readers can enjoy articles on home life, fashion, cosmetics, pop culture, life/mommy issues, current events, random ramblings and so much more!
