Walt Disney World Holidays - Tips For the Best Way to Plan a Disney Vacation at Christmas

Do you have a visit to Walt Disney World planned for this Christmas season? Are you visiting during the week before Christmas and New Years? If so, then this article is for you. Having enjoyed several Walt Disney World holidays in late December, my family has found that the Christmas/New Year's holidays at Disney can be magical, crazy, crowded, and if you do some careful planning, very, very fun.

At no other time of the year, is careful planning as important as it is during the Holiday Season. So my motto for the best way to plan a Disney vacation is always to plan, plan, and plan some more. While there are a lot of things to consider during a Christmas visit to Disney World, in our years of having visited during the week between Christmas and New Years, there are two very important things that we have found you definitely need to keep in mind...and plan for.

First is the weather. Let me just say that Florida is not ALWAYS sunny and hot. In fact, traveling at any point during the winter months can provide you with a very cold...and uncomfortable...surprise, if you don't check ahead. We have visited during the winter and been blessed with sunny days, temps in the 70s, little humidity...weather that is just delightful.

BUT, we have also had days where the temperatures never made it out of the 50s during the day, and were in the low 30s at night and in the mornings. And if you combine this with some humidity/dampness and a bit of wind...well it's actually winter-coat wearing weather!

So if an affordable Disney family vacation is your goal, then check the weather forecast before you leave home. If you need warm clothes, and did not pack them, you do NOT want to pay Disney park prices for sweaters, scarves and gloves.

The second thing to consider when planning a trip during the week between Christmas and New Year's, is that this is THE busiest week of the year for the Disney parks. It is typical for one or more of the parks to actually close for periods of time, during several days during this week. Disney typically does a staggered type of closing schedule where the parks are first closed to non-Disney resort guests, then to Disney guests who have not already been to that park earlier in the day, and finally, to everyone.

So keep this in mind, especially if you are not staying on Disney property: go early to make sure you get into the park of your choice. Have a plan to visit your most important must-dos (especially those that are very popular) first thing, and make very good use of Fast-Passes. Expect the big attractions to have all Fast-Passes gone for the day by lunch, and to have lines of several hours. Be flexible, and go with the flow. And have a sense of humor.

If you decide to leave any of the parks, make certain that you can live without necessarily getting back in. While crowds often lessen somewhat in the evenings, on nights like New Years Eve, that is not likely to happen. If you plan to ring in the New Year in one of the parks, then expect to make a very long day of it.

Having said all of this, the holiday season at Disney World is my family's favorite time of year. It can be a magical and wonderful way to create family memories....just be prepared!

Paris has all but pooped anything and everything that can practically be applied to any town. Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower at the time of sunrise, or at sunset and at night - have been portrayed innumerable times, as have the Seine and the subtle dissimilarity between the Left and Right Banks.

Paris has quite a lot of landmarks than any other town might be having in the world. Due to this reason the people who arrive in Paris for the first time have all types of prospect: of magnificent vistas, of academics conversing substantial matters in cafés, of relation along the Seine, of mischievous nightclub revues, of discourteous people who won't talk in English. But another move is to set aside the fixed ideas of Paris and to explore the streets and backstreets as if the angle of the Eiffel Tower or the spire of Notre Dame was not about to bang into sight at any moment.

Holidays In Disney World - How To Pay The Half Of The Price

Disney World has many of the dreams a little kid can ever dream about. From a child's point of view, to see his or her Disney film's world translated into reality is something that we adults possibly are not able to understand. But not for this reason we stop bringing our kids there, are we?

Well, to take holidays in Disney World, apart of being a tremendously enjoying experience, can be at same time a reason for Disney World's boss to fake a smile when looking at all the money that you are putting on his pockets.

The problem involved is not only the price for entering there but also all the things you need when spending your holidays in the place, from restaurants to hotels and extra services that will be offered to you taking opportunity of your lack of reality sense in this imaginary world.

After some time in my business, specialized in Traveling to Europe but also helping American families looking to travel around their country, I have been learning some clues on how to get the best deals out of Disney Land.

If it is one big thing, even if for some of you is possibly not a great deal, I would directly send you downtown for everything you need. From restaurants, to souvenir, to hotels. Prices out of the center of the parks can drop up to a 70% compared to the ones inside, and you will find almost the same thing.

At same time, when it comes to get the tickets, never follow the pages that appear in front of your search engine. Always go for the hidden ones. And let me repeat this, because it is very important: if you want to book in advance, which you should do, never book with the first pages that appear on your web browser. Precisely because they are up in front they can charge a higher price. Meanwhile, competence struggles to reduce prices in order to jump to the hall of fame.

Furthermore, many people does not know that it exists exclusive discounts on 5, 7 and 10 day park hopper tickets and ticket upgrades that can be for free if you follow certain rules. Also when it comes to fly there, you will be surprised that the most famous airlines are again some of the most expensive and having an alternative list of airlines can save you some big bucks.

There are many ways in which you can save money with those dream vacations and to gain insight in all of them will bring here a very long article and I will be copying the job that somebody has already done writing an e-book that I have always used when I need to deal with Disney World trip planning in my business.

Written by a worker of Disney World, she offers all those knowledge that you can only get from inside. Best recommendations for restaurants, souvenir, hotels and flights, and even tricks in order to avoid the longest queues telling you which time of the day is best to visit each park and whether to choose the right or the left line when waiting for a ride.

After all, going to Disney World has to be an enjoyable experience, but you do not need to leave all your year savings behind. Instead, what about keeping the half with you to repeat next year?

Secrets That Will Make You Want to Purchase Discount Disney World Tickets


Image : http://www.flickr.com


If you think that discount Disney World tickets are not worth fighting for, then you're wrong. In fact, there are a lot of things that may interest you when you go to the theme park. Admission may be expensive but buying one is definitely worth it. Aside from the new attractions and the hidden Mickeys, there are things that people need to look out for in Disney. For sure, if you hear about it, you'd like to go to the park to check it out for yourself.

Did you know that Disney World has a ton of resident cats? You may not see these but during the night, stray cats roam the park to hunt for rodents. It all started in the past when rats seemed to infest attractions. The problem may have been solved thanks to the army of cats, but what is Disney doing about felines? Now, there are tons of stray cats found in the park. Because of the cozy environment given to them, they find it difficult to leave. So the next time you see a stray, remember: they're on Disney's side.

Disney World may be fun and magical on the surface but underground, it's a different place. Did you know that in order to get around the park, staff and personnel pass through underground tunnels? It's pretty cool once you think about it. One minute you look at an empty space and the next, a Disney character is waving at you from that same direction. As you can see, tunnel exists are scattered all over the park. Try to observe employees coming out of random places.

Main Street may be one of the best places to be in this Disney paradise. But did you know that this street can play tricks on you? Notice that if you look towards the direction of the castle, it seems like the street is never ending. Well, it's an optical illusion. You might say, "big deal!" But for sure, you'll be wondering about this yourself. The next time you go to Main Street, try to look at the windows of the structures around you. The ones on the upper floors are smaller than those on the first-this creates an angle perspective.

Since you've heard these, you'll have more reasons to check out Disney World. Who knew that this place had secrets of its own too? Now, the problem lies on your budget. Don't worry! Once you buy admission passes, everything else that comes with a price will no longer be a problem. Cheap Disney World tickets can be found anywhere, especially online.

Buildings of Chelsea and Kensington

Perhaps like me you are off to Chelsea this summer, then you might be looking for something new to do and see. Well if so, stay tuned. I have scanned the internet to bring you three great places to visit before you leave.

For all of you culture vultures out there you may find that a trip away to a beach leaves you lacking information and a respect for the place in which you have stayed. Chelsea will be right up your street. With so much choice and things to do there will be many options grabbing your attention, but if you only have a selected amount of time, I suggest the following.

Start off with Kensington Palace. You don't have to be a fan of the royals to really appreciate the overwhelming design of this building. It was commissioned by William the third to Christopher Wren to extend the property and has seen several improvements by royals over the centuries. Queen Anne altered the gardens and added an Orangey in 1704, George the first added 3 grand state rooms and queen Caroline added a broad walk around the pond. This is a stunning house that has evolved along side our culture and provided a stunning home for royals or many generations.

Second stop on the tour should be Leighton House. Once home to Lord Frederic Leighton (1830-1896) this great classic painter and president of the Royal Academy loved this home. Built between 1864 and 1879 this stunning building is located at the edge of Holland Park and is considered by many to be one of the most exquisite buildings of the nineteenth century. This was a man who knew what he liked and allowed his art to spill into his private life. Every corner of the building shows great attention to detail and each room leads seamlessly in to another increasing you curiosity into what might be in store next.

No visit to Chelsea would be complete without a visit to the Albert Memorial. Located in the Kensington Gardens opposite the Royal Albert Hall this building represents a great take on ornate Gothic architecture. The building was designed by George Gilbert Scott and erected in 1872 as a tribute to Prince Albert, the German husband of Queen Victoria after his death.

This should provide you with a simple over view of why you should be stopping in on Chelsea to make more of it's culture and to absorb its heritage.
