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.

Disney Fun from Around the World: Week of October 29, 2012

Greetings Disney Friends. I hope that all of you that may have been in Hurricane Sandy’s path, survived safely with little to no damage to your home and property. There is such devastation for so many that will last a very long time. If you have the opportunity, please consider a donation to the Red Cross who are doing such a wonderful job of helping those in need. You can also consider the Foodbank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties who are providing direct assistance to those on the Jersey shore and the New York City Rescue Mission who are doing the same for those in New York. Every little bit helps. Thank you!

And now, on with this week’s Disney news! 🙂

Thrifty Thursday: Affordable Snacks in Epcot – Future World

We’ve done some snacking in Magic Kingdom and in Epcot’s World Showcase so far, now let’s turn to Future World.  My family loves to eat, some of our best Disney memories are around a Disney dining table, or sitting down with a snack and watching people have a magical vacation.  Snacks can add up in Walt Disney World so we try to pick the most frugal of snacks while in the parks.
