A DISNEY-LOVING Barnsley College student hopes to make a living planning dream trips for travellers to the most magical place in the world.

Unlike most youngsters, Evie Prior gets just as much enjoyment out of planning her holidays as actually going on them.

As a super-fan of Disney, it’s safe to know the Redbrook-based teen knows the ins and outs of the resorts, located in Florida and Paris.

Having gone multiple times herself, Evie admits the glittering getaways can be frustrating to plan an itinerary for.

Never one to back down from a challenge, the young entrepreneur has immersed herself in all the need-to-know tips and tricks to get the most out of the resorts - hoping to pass on her knowledge through an inventive business plan.

The travel and tourism pupils’ Disney-themed travel agency will give prospective travellers painstakingly crafted itineraries, topped with insider knowledge to get the most out of their magical experience.

While she has to wait for her 18th birthday for the green light to officially unveil her business, the inventive teen is raring to go.

Evie’s inspiring entrepreneurial spirit has earned her a well-deserved Young Champions nomination.

Despite her mature and organised demeanour, Evie lives with a little-understood illness that at times can be debilitating.

The 17-year-old had her life transformed by at just four years old by the illness that has caused her to wash her hands ‘until they bleed’.

In her younger years, Evie began to show signs of paediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections (PANDAS).

The condition is supposedly caused by streptococcal bacteria, a common cause of sore throats - which causes a person’s antibodies to attack themselves and inflame the basal ganglia, the part of the brain responsible for movement, behaviour and emotions.

Evie’s battle with PANDAS started after a bout of chicken pox, when she began to exhibit worrying symptoms.

Evie presented with OCD-like symptoms, separation anxiety and temper tantrums, which her mum, Helen,, said were out of character for a usually bubbly little girl.

Evie said: “It’s been really difficult.

“I’ve previously experienced separation anxiety and disordered eating.

“It was moreso the fear of food, I was worried the food would hurt me.

“It’s contamination anxiety and it does limit job opportunities for me.

“I wouldn’t be able to work in a restaurant and empty bins and stuff.

“I really love travel and I’m good with customers, but I’m better working behind the scenes rather than a hands-on approach.

“I actually also make Minnie Mouse ears for my cousins as a side hobby.

“I love studying at the college and learning about different destinations.

“Disney is a real passion.

“Everything I watch and read is focused around Disney, it really helps me.”
