Disneyland: What’s NOT at Walt Disney World?

One of the great Disney debates is which park is better—Walt Disney World in Florida or Disneyland in California. I cannot pick a favorite of the two. Instead, I like to point out what is the same and, most of all, what is different between the two parks and let people choose for themselves.  Read more

Disney Moderate Resort Fun Facts

A few weeks back we focused on fun facts of Disney value resorts. Disney likes to add extra elements of magic throughout the Walt Disney Resort. Today we are going to focus on the moderate resorts.

The differences in a value resort to moderate resort is the more elaborate theme, larger accommodations, an onsite restaurant, a swimming pool with a slide and a bit more on-site recreation.

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.
