Imagine you are walking the path to Africa in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

Well maybe not but, if you stop at Pizzafari, you will not only get a good meal but an experience as well. As with all of Animal Kingdom the Imagineers left no inch untouched. Read more

Most travel guides will advise you to save money and time by visiting Walt Disney World in value seasons – times in which lines are lighter and crowds less dense. But sometimes school schedules, business obligations and life events prohibit such luxury. You may have to travel during peak, holiday or summer seasons or not visit Disney at all. We wouldn’t want that, would we?

So let’s make Pink Parrot Lemonade out of lemons and get the most out of the busy season. Read more

Wordless Wednesday: Using Your iPhone!


Do you love capturing your Disney World memories in the most convenient way? Cell phones these days have great cameras which makes it possible to leave the camera at home. Although there are Disney guests, like myself who could never go to the parks without my camera. It is amazing to see how many people are using phones instead of cameras. Which do you prefer?

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.

Editor’s note: I’m on vacation this week, so in my absence I am sharing with you a post that I wrote a while back…with some advice that is, I think, always worth repeating! Enjoy!! ~ Nancy

Chances are you may have noticed that those of us who are travel agents and members of the Disney blogging community tend to preach one thing when it comes to Disney vacations: PLAN! 🙂

Chances are also that you may have noticed that there are quite a few of us “out there” talking about planning Disney vacations. In fact, if you have found this blog, I’m pretty sure you have found other Disney blogs too, in addition to some Disney-oriented message boards, Disney podcasts and assorted other Disney information sites. And that doesn’t even count the many Disney books and magazines out there as well.
