Disney Vacation Planning: The Magic of Wishes Fireworks
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
Why We Need Disney Today, More Than Ever
This has been a horrible week. While there’s no need to get into all the details, as everyone at this point pretty much knows them all, it’s not a stretch to say that it’s been devastating, heartbreaking, and emotionally draining for those of us watching…..and beyond that and so much worse for those whose lives were directly affected.

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.
