Find out how the FREE services of a Disney World travel agent can make planning your Disney vacation simple…and for a limited time, get a FREE Disney gift card when you book your trip with me! ($2000 minimum package cost)

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! You can find more of Karen’s photography on her site www.KPportraits.com.

Wordless Wednesday: Seeing for Yourself

Karen Disney Fun, Wordless Wednesday , , 0 Comment

I think this picture speaks for itself. It was taken in China at Epcot’s World Showcase. On your next vacation to Walt Disney World, remember to have as many experiences as possible! Regardless of what you may have heard from others. It’s always good to at least check out attractions once that you may have not in the past!

Wordless Wednesday: Big Savings at Value Resorts

Karen Disney Fun, Saving Money on Accommodations, Wordless Wednesday , 0 Comment

You can’t go wrong with Disney’s value resorts! Especially if you’re the type who spends 99% of your time playing in the parks. All of the value resorts provide a ton of larger than life decorations to check out! Kids (young & old) will love exploring the sights to and from the bus stop. It seems like each trip, you discover something new.  Keep your camera handy and have fun making memories!

Wordless Wednesday: The Whirl of Disney Trip Preparation

Karen Wordless Wednesday , , 3 Comments

I am thrilled to welcome Karen from KPportraits as our new Wordless Wednesday contributor! As a professional photographer….who loves Walt Disney World….we are honored to be able to share her wonderful vision of Disney with you each week. 🙂

Karen is also preparing to visit Disney World in a few days: hence her feeling just a little like the Tea Cups this week!

Preparing For a Disney Trip: If you are like me,  the excitement of Walt Disney World begins before you even arrive! The few days or even weeks before your trip it’s hard to think about anything else! There’s a lot to do to be prepared for your time spent in the parks. It can become overwhelming (especially those traveling with little ones)  A few things that have helped me in the past with preparing for a trip are to

  1. Bring snacks from home to have in the parks (granola bars, trail mix, etc.) 
  2. Make a list of “Must Do’s” and bring it with you! 
  3. Try to get as much sleep the night before your trip! You won’t want to sleep in once you are there!
