Find out how the FREE services of a Disney World travel agent can make planning your Disney vacation simple and stress-free!

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!

It was my family’s last day in the theme parks and we spent the morning at Epcot before returning for a relaxing afternoon of packing, baths for the kids, and my preschooler’s nap – or so we thought. I logged onto Facebook and everything changed in an instant.  The New Fantasyland was soft opening! Baths could wait and packing could be done in the wee hours. My mom and I hopped a bus with my first-grader to the Magic Kingdom while my husband stayed back with my sleeping son. Read more
