Debra Martin Koma (aka dcdeb, not to be confused with Deb Wills, AllEars.Net founder) is a freelance writer and mom who has written about food, travel and lifestyle issues for a number of local and national publications, including the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Travel-Holiday magazine, and the airline in-flight magazine, TWA Ambassador. She fell in love with Walt Disney World on her first visit there -- when she was 34! She's returned to her Laughing Place more than four dozen times in the ensuing years, and enthusiastically shares her passion with readers of AllEars.Net and AllEars®. Deb is also co-author (along with Deb Wills) of PassPorter's Open Mouse for Walt Disney World and the Disney Cruise Line, a travel guide designed for all travelers to Walt Disney World who may require special attention, from special diets to mobility issues.

This is our collection of articles Deb has written so far for AllEars® and AllEars.Net. Enjoy her in-depth reporting on everything from Dining Reviews to the Theme Park Overlooked Attractions!
