She was a contributing editor for DISNEY MAGAZINE and has been to Disney World with her own kids, Leigh, age 15, and Jordan, age 11, over 25 times--so most of what she knows she learned in the trenches.
Kim and her daughter Leigh are the co-authors of WALT DISNEY WORLD 4 TEENS BY TEENS.
Disney is said to have spent $25,000,000 to develop and outfit the island, topping the $16 million spent by Holland America on Half Moon Cay, and the lesser efforts of other companies.
Like Disney resorts the island follows a theme, that of a castaway community with carefully planned buildings made to look as if they had been improvised after a shipwreck.
However, all the facilities are spotlessly clean, like the Disney theme parks, and the many shops accept the DisneyDollar as in the theme parks.
