Thrifty Thursday: Extra Magic Hours

When it comes to saving time at Walt Disney World, one of the best ways to do this is to take advantage of Disney’s Extra Magic Hours. If you are staying at a Disney resort during your Walt Disney World trip, then you will have the advantage of using Extra Magic Hours. These are extra hours available at various parks on certain days outside of regular opening and closing times. In the morning Disney resort guests can enter an hour earlier, and in the evening they can stay 2-3 hours after regular closing.  Read more

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!
