Thrifty Thursday: Bringing Some of the Magic With You

My family really enjoys having a good time. The last thing we would want to be called is ‘party poopers.’ For parties where we are invited to dress up but the invite says you don’t have to, we always dress. To us, that makes everything more fun. Read more
Wordless Wednesday: Happy New Year!

One of the fun things to do at Epcot is to try some of the beverages from different countries! France is an excellent spot to grab a yummy drink and to get a souvenir cup! Sharing drinks is one way to stretch your dollar and to have room for other yummy things at The World Showcase. Cheers!

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.
