Cast Member’s Corner: Goofy Guests and Magical Memories

Working at Walt Disney World I got to see a lot of things both behind the scenes and out among the guests.  Being a guest at Walt Disney World you can also see most of these things as well, which makes visiting the parks both fun and entertaining.  Disney provides a lot of visual stimulation in it’s architecture and decoration but sometimes that’s not even the best part.  Sometimes the guests themselves provide the entertainment while other times, it is those who come with them who are creating the fun.

Thrifty Thursday: Start Your Engines!

Start your engines!

I love how Disney is upgrading their ride lines. Remember how fun it was to walk into the line of Space Mountain to realize they had added the interactive gaming? It doesn’t solve the annoyance of waiting in a 120+ minute line, but it sure does ease the blow! The last thing we want after spending our hard earned dollars to be in WDW is to be bored waiting to ride an attraction. While we, as adults, can handle it with some dignity…the younger set of our parties may or may not appreciate it;)

Wordless Wednesday: Disney Water Fun

There are a lot of reasons to go back to your resort every afternoon for a break. One great one is to take time to explore the play areas and pools! This new water play area at the Grand Floridian is a perfect example: what kid wouldn’t want to spend some time splashing and playing here?

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.
