Wordless Wednesday: Disney Cast Members

Karen Disney Fun, What to Do at Disney World, Wordless Wednesday , , , 1 Comment

Disney cast members play a huge role in your vacation experience. They’re allows happy to help and truly enjoy being part of the show! Visiting The World Showcase at Epcot is an excellent opportunity to chat with people from all over the world. Some of these cast members are away from their homes and families for over a year to bring a truly unique experience to all Disney guests. Don’t be shy to ask questions about their culture. It’s always fun to learn a thing or two on vacation!

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:  I am so happy to welcome again,  Lisa Battista, author of Beyond the Attractions: A Guide to Walt Disney World with Preschoolers. An expert in planning Disney vacations with little ones…and a budget…in mind,  Lisa just returned from a Disney World research trip for the next edition of her book….and had the chance to try out something new at World Showcase! Thank you Lisa for sharing today! 🙂

The Disney Phineas and Ferb: Agent P’s World Showcase Adventure in Epcot’s World Showcase was testing this past weekend. I narrowly missed my opportunity to play on Sunday but luck was on my side the following day. On Monday I made a beeline for the recruiting station soon after World Showcase opened and success.

An Out of the World Summer: Disneyland Paris

Tina Disney Vacation Planning , , , 1 Comment

Editor’s note: I’m thrilled to introduce a new series today, on another wonderful piece of Disney that many/most of us may have never been privileged to visit: Disneyland Paris. Thanks to Tina (lucky girl!!), we will have the benefit of hearing all about what it is like to visit a Disney park in another country, and learn as well, of course, how to do it as affordably as possible. So if you have plans to visit Disneyland Paris….or simply are dreaming about it, follow along with Tina this summer and learn along with the rest of us! 🙂

 I love Paris!  I have been twice, once in 2003 and then again in 2008.  I also, of course, am in love with all things Disney!  So what could be BETTER than Disney IN Paris?  I’m not sure there is anything better!  There are people out there that say, “Why waste a day of Paris in Disneyland,” but those people aren’t crazy about Disney, like us, so we just ignore them 😉

This summer, my husband and I are taking an-almost-2-week trip to Europe.  Being the Disney fan I am, I have to try out “Euro Disney” this time around!  I am happy to share how we are doing this, and all the logistics that go along with planning a (and hopefully saving some $)  trip to Disneyland Paris .
