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!

Terrific Tuesdays: Character Meets

I have never been one to go out of my way to meet the characters. I am just fine seeing them as a walk around each park. However, on this last trip with 2 grandkids, I was on the lookout for characters for them to meet! Read more

Disney World Deliciousness: Boatwright’s Dining Hall

We have stayed at Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside Resort many times over the years – it is our very favorite resort – but we had NEVER eaten at the restaurant there, Boatwright’s Dining Hall, until our last trip in September. Now that we have, I can say that we absolutely LOVED it!!!  Read more

Disney with Special Needs: The Road Trip Edition Part 2

Have you mapped out your journey and picked out some milestones yet? I hope so, because it’s time to really dive in to our road trip to Disney, starting with packing. I know there are some of you out there that are like— but isn’t that something we do right before the trip? To you I say – NO! Packing for a road trip to Disney is not something you can just throw together at the last minute, especially if you are traveling with a family who has one or more members with special needs. Your packing can seriously make or break the success of your trip. Besides…it’s a lot of fun. No? Just me? Read more

Thursday Thoughts: Saying Good Bye to an Old Friend

One of Walt Disney’s guiding philosophies as he built Disneyland (and the Disney brand in general) is that the Disney company should always be ready to “try something new”. In fact, one of my favorite Walt Disney quotes speaks to just this:

“We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”

I think it is safe to say that this continues to be one of the missions of the Disney company – whether movies or theme parks – there is always something new. Of course, that is a big part of what keeps us going back to the Disney parks, because there is ALWAYS something new to see or do!  Read more
