As a lover of all things thrifty when it comes to Disney, I always include being thrifty with time.  When we visit Disney World, we want to fill our days with as much magic as possible.  Of course, one can never do ALL that Disney has to offer in one trip, but that doesn’t stop most of us from trying.

One way I love to save time in Magic Kingdom, not to mention the footsies in my family, is by using the train, the Walt Disney World Railroad.  There are many reasons to ride this scenic attraction.  First, if you aren’t familiar with MK, it’s a great way to orient your self and figure out the lands and the layout.  Second, it really is a pretty ride with great views of the castle, some green, and attractions.  Third and thriftiest of all reasons, it saves time getting from one part of the park to another.

Wordless Wednesday: An Alternative to Disney Thrills

Karen Disney Fun, Wordless Wednesday , , , , 1 Comment


If you’re not into the thrills of Space Mountain or Tower of Terror, the teacups in Fantasyland are a great alternative! And if you don’t like riding the teacups, then enjoy walking around and taking in the scenery.

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.

On Friday, she shared Part One of her experiences. Today she provides more details! 🙂

My family was in Walt Disney World when the New Fantasyland was in dress rehearsal. We rushed over and sure enough it was still open when we arrived late in the afternoon. Read more
