Wordless Wednesday: Disney Singalong!

Take time on your Disney vacation to enjoy the unexpected. You never know who you might meet….even a barbershop quartet might be strolling down Main Street USA, singing a song….or playing a tune where, before you know it, you’re joining in!

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.

It’s kind of magical. But, at $20-30 for an adult ticket, it’s also kind of expensive. 

Enter one very magical solution: The Polynesian Beach! Read more
