For those of us who have been collecting the refillable mugs from the Disney resorts, we will now have to find something else to collect. Walt Disney World has released it’s new “Rapid Fill” program. Back in 2011 they started testing RFID technology to better control their beverage cost. The testing put the RFID sticker on the bottom of the paper cups at some of the resort food courts. It would only be able to be filled a certain number of times in a specified time frame. They tested it at the ALL-STAR resorts but nothing was finalized until now. Read more
Disney Vacation Tips
Disney Vacation Planning: What to Pack
Once you decide the time of year to visit Walt Disney World, your next step is planning what to pack. My first and foremost important thing is shoes. You will be spending countless hours on your feet and walking several miles a day. Make sure your shoes are comfortable! Better yet, make sure you have 2 pairs that are comfortable. Switching back and forth will give your shoes time to air out and your feet a break. Most people chose tennis shoes as their primary pair, with maybe walking sandals as your back up. Crocs are also popular, but don’t use your trip to wear them for the first time! Both pairs of shoes should be some that are relatively new, but also broke in. Read more

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.
