Few things say Christmas quite like a light display in front of a house. In fact, many neighborhoods have competitions now – who can have the biggest or best display. If you have a light display contest in your neighborhood, you can’t miss the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights – you’ll never quite see Christmas lights in the same way again! Read more
First an update on our 14 day Disney trip in September…
Close, yet so far away…..that’s how we feel about the countdown to our Disney World vacation!! It’s all we can do to keep from pulling the suitcases out and start packing! We HAVE made our “things to pack” list…and have checked it twice…okay…more like 50 times…and we’ve bought a few things here and there for the trip just to make ourselves feel better about the wait! Just knowing there is a little pile of “trip stuff” in the guest bedroom makes the waiting easier to bear! We go over our itinerary at LEAST once a week…tweaking it here and there…and sometimes changing it back to the way we originally had it…LOL..but this makes us feel like we are doing SOMETHING Disney related on a regular basis…to help us get by until we head out to our favorite destination…Disney World!!

Guess what?!?! News about the 2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival is starting to trickle in … and I’m starting to get excited!
We all know that eating around the World Showcase during Food & Wine can be a thrifty way to enjoy lots of little bites for a small price, and this year will be no different … except you’ll be able to enjoy a taste of Scotland, too!! Read more
Quick service restaurants are very popular throughout the parks. To avoid the crowds, try to eat earlier or a little later. Peco Bill’s in The Magic Kingdom can get extremely busy, unless you eat lunch on the earlier side. You could have the place to yourself!

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.

We started reserving character meals years ago when my children were small. To keep costs down, we only incorporated one or two into our trips. One of the best things about receiving the free dining promotion for the past couple of years has been the opportunity to dine at many more character meals. I wanted to share a pictorial review of one of our favorites — Cinderella’s Happily Ever After Dinner in the 1900 Park Fare. Read more
