Well, we are less than 3 months out from our Disney World vacation and it can’t get here soon enough!

Choosing when to go to Disney can often be the hardest decision that has to be made when planning your vacation.  Aside from the obvious obstacles, (ie school, weather, cost) most people worry about the crowds.  My husband and I have vacationed at Disney World during each season and have enjoyed each for different reasons.  For us, just being at Disney World is an incredible and exciting time, so ANY time we get to go we’re EXTREMELY happy!  But we DO have our favorite time of the year to go and that is during the fall.  Let me explain and I hope that I can offer tips for you when that daunting choice of when to visit faces YOUR family.

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.
