Disney’s Fast Pass Plus

Guess who will be in Disney this weekend!? Me!! Guess whose family was chosen to be part of a test group for the new Fast Pass Plus? Yep, you got it…our family!! Yipee!!

I thought I would write about what I know of the process so far, with a little “before” the trip post and then follow up with an “after” post to see how the whole thing goes. Read more

Wordless Wednesday: Toy Soldiers


If you don’t get a chance to attend Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, you can still get your picture taken with these adorable toy soldiers right at the beginning of Main Street at the Magic Kingdom!

Find out how the FREE services of a Disney World travel agent can make planning your Disney vacation simple and stress-free! And during the month of December, YOUR vacation can help one of 8 wonderful charities! Ask me how!

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.

Celebrating a Disney Birthday….and Paying it Forward

Just over three years ago I had this crazy idea to start a blog about Disney World….because I love to write and love Disney World more. At that time, who would have ever thought that my little blog would introduce me to thousands of “Disney Friends”, and ultimately open the door to being able to follow my dream of becoming a Disney travel agent! Some days I have to pinch myself when I think about working at something that I truly love, and having the honor and privilege of being able to assist hundreds of folks in creating magical Disney vacations….

So this is a very special time of the year for me, as I have the opportunity to celebrate this birthday, just when the Holiday Season gets underway. It seems appropriate somehow to celebrate something that gives joy to others, during this Season of Joy.

With that in mind, I am marking this birthday in two very special ways….and I hope that you will share in the celebration with me. Read more

Wordless Wednesday: Crystal Palace

Terrific Tuesdays: The Haunted Mansion

 

The Haunted Mansion has always been one of my “Must-dos” when in Magic Kingdom. I am not a horror film or haunted house type of person, nor do I like to be scared so Haunted Mansion is definitely up my alley. I have heard more than one child or adult for that matter say, “but I don’t like scary things”. Unless they are really afraid of the dark, I highly recommend riding this. Even my granddaughter, who at age 4, kept saying, “I don’t like the dark”, still really enjoyed it, well, except for the darkness. Read more
