Terrific Tuesdays: Is it Real or is it Disney-Made?

16487543_10154436163596234_1149501505731170487_oIf you have spent a lot of time in Walt Disney World or even read a lot about the “Most Magical Place on Earth”, you know that not everything you see or encounter is real, much of it is man-made. How else would incredible trees stand higher than most buildings in Florida and still have a theater below them or support the Swiss Family Robinson’s amazing home! Read more

Wordless Wednesday: Spaceship Earth

It’s kind of hard to miss that “giant golf ball” at the entrance to Epcot. And while you may be rushing past it on your way to Soarin’ or Frozen Ever After, Spaceship Earth is an attraction that you shouldn’t miss if you’ve never been to Walt Disney World! Even if the line looks long, it moves very fast and it’s a nice, cool, relaxing ride everyone should try! (And remember: if you can read this, thank the Phoenicians!)

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!

With the first snowfall coming down in central Indiana as I type, I have never been more ready for a trip to Walt Disney World. This time around, we added the Water Park Fun and More option to our Park Hoppers. We will be visiting in September and I know from experience it will still be blazing hot down in Lake Buena Vista that time of year. What better time to try out the 2 Disney water parks on WDW property, Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach? I’ve never been and neither have my little boys, who will be 6 and 7 by then. So, what do the water parks have to offer our family? Today I’m sharing with you what I’ve learned so far about Typhoon Lagoon.
