This is an older blog post from Meltdown Free Disney, but I found it especially relevant to a conversation I was having with my husband. We received one of the coveted PIN codes yesterday (our second in two months!) and were discussing if it really was a good deal. (I decided, no) Read more
The single reason I booked my trip to Walt Disney World back in January, 2011 was to be inside the Magic Kingdom on the day it turned 40. I had been looking forward to this trip so much and it was well worth it. It means so much to me that I got to be there and I wanted to share it with you all, so I hope you will enjoy this pictorial journey of the celebration.

Preparing For a Disney Trip: If you are like me, the excitement of Walt Disney World begins before you even arrive! The few days or even weeks before your trip it’s hard to think about anything else!

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.
