My family recently saw “Finding Dory” and since we’re friends now I don’t mind admitting to you that I cried for a good portion of it. Without giving away any spoilers for those of you who haven’t seen it yet, it really hit close to home and spoke to me like I wasn’t expecting. There were parts of it that were like watching myself in fish form and it was tough. By the end, though, I felt that shimmer of super hero pride again and was finally able to help my little one understand me a little bit better. See Dory —- that’s like Mommy. Read more
Thrifty Thursday: Grazing Your Way Around Epcot’s World Showcase
When traveling to Walt Disney World we seem to go against what so many other people do: while I love all the different restaurants Disney has to offer, filling our days with ADR’s, Advance Dining Reservations for the novice, takes more time then we want to spend and doesn’t always fit into our budget. Fast food restaurants in World Showcase have so much more than the typical hamburger fare. While these counter service locations do not have the fancy silverware, the linen napkins, or the attentive server; we find the more relaxed atmosphere suits us just fine. We can choose where we eat and when, since most days, two meals is the norm. Read more
Wordless Wednesday: Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
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.

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!
