Thrifty Thursday: Start Your Engines!

Start your engines!

I love how Disney is upgrading their ride lines. Remember how fun it was to walk into the line of Space Mountain to realize they had added the interactive gaming? It doesn’t solve the annoyance of waiting in a 120+ minute line, but it sure does ease the blow! The last thing we want after spending our hard earned dollars to be in WDW is to be bored waiting to ride an attraction. While we, as adults, can handle it with some dignity…the younger set of our parties may or may not appreciate it;)

Before heading off on your Disney vacation with your little ones, you’re going to want to have somewhat of a touring plan. You don’t have to have a strict one, but a loose guideline will help everyone. Know which park you are going to on which day, how you’re getting there, and have a copy of any reservations. There are many online services that offer touring plans for you to follow, but if you want to make your own, here’s a few tips for you. Read more

Wordless Wednesday: Disney Water Fun

There are a lot of reasons to go back to your resort every afternoon for a break. One great one is to take time to explore the play areas and pools! This new water play area at the Grand Floridian is a perfect example: what kid wouldn’t want to spend some time splashing and playing here?

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! You can find more of Karen’s photography on her site www.KPportraits.com.

Cast Member’s Corner: Does the Learning Ever Stop?!

Two weeks ago I discussed the education you can gain at the four major parks at Walt Disney World.  Did anyone think about the places I’ve left out?  Surely if you’ve been to Walt Disney World before you’ve noticed the attention to detail that they’ve put into every place on property.  If you look deeper you’ll also see that there’s lessons to learn at all these places as well.
