Having worked in Magic Kingdom, specifically in Fantasyland, I think it’s fair to say I’ve seen a lot of guests both young and old, both experienced and first time visitors. All of these guests have something in common though: they all wonder what are the best things to wear and pack for their visits to the park. Read more
We all know that Disney pays great attention to design and detail….and yet we often are so focused on the “stars” of a ride or attraction, that it is easy to miss the background or scenery. Disney creates drama like no one else: staff are Cast Members, and they are not at work but are on stage. So next time you check out a ride or attraction, look beyond the main event, and check out the background: the stage that has been set for you is always quite amazing! Read more
While all the news at Hollywood Studios is Star Wars or Toy Story related these days, don’t forget that there are some GREAT rides and attractions that are neither. A true classic, and one of the most popular rides is Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith. Here you grab a limo on your way to a concert with the band…and hope you make it there in time!

Karen grew up in the Boston area and traveled to Disney World many times with her parents and sister. Always staying at the Fort Wilderness Cabins gave the trips a feeling of a home away from home. It also started the tradition of attending the Hoop Dee Doo Review on each trip! Somehow that show sparked her interest in the Disney College Program. Which she did in the fall of 2002, working as a hostess @ Captain Jacks in Downtown Disney. Now as an adult, Karen finds herself traveling to the parks on a yearly basis! Photography has always been a hobby of Karen’s, but over the past few years it has become her passion. It’s even taken her to her favorite place! The Make a Wish Foundation sent a family to Disney for a week and Karen was lucky enough to be their photographer of choice! She got to tag along and photograph their memories being made. She hopes to get that experience again someday!

If you have been to the Disney parks before, then you’ve certainly seen the amazing fireworks at the different parks. Each is unique and I love them all dearly but I have a soft spot in my heart for Wishes at the Magic Kingdom. Having been a Cast Member, I was able to do crowd control during the fireworks. I was lucky enough to be able to stand in front of the castle nightly to ensure guest safety and watch their faces during the fireworks. I was able to tell guests exactly when that loveable pixie would fly through the air, where the next firework would go off, and all the words to the songs.
A big question I got during my time working the fireworks was, “Where is the best place to watch the fireworks?” Unlike most people, I don’t have a simple answer. Read more
