Planning a Walt Disney World Vacation

So, you and your family want to go to Disney World for vacation. That is wonderful news! Disney World has inspired the dreams and fantasies of children and adults for decades. One of the most fun things about planning a Walt Disney World Vacation is actually making the decision to go, and then making the plan.

We all have heard someone’s horror story about how terrible their Disney World Vacation was. Please, try to be subjective and try to learn from others mistakes. Millions of people have enjoyed their Walt Disney World Vacation, and you can too. The good news is that you are doing your research before you head to Orlando. Making a plan will give you peace of mind of what to do next and will help focus you vacation on enjoying your time away from the office and with your friends or family. With this in mind I would like to give four tips on Planning a Walt Disney World Vacation.

- How will you get tickets?
- What is the best Hotel?
- What about Food?
- Are there Other Ways to Save?

-How will you get Tickets?

The easiest way to get tickets is to simply buy them from Disney World. You can log on to the Disney World Website and purchase tickets right on the website. There are also a few Disney Authorized Ticket resellers. You can do an internet search for the Authorized Ticket Resellers and it may save you a few dollars. I do have a word of caution, BEWARE of ticket sellers outside of the Walt Disney World Resort who want you to purchase a used ticket from them. There is simply no authorized way for a Disney Ticket to be resold after it has been used. Buy new tickets and stay away from back room deals to get “cheap tickets.”

- What is the Best Hotel?

In my opinion, the best hotels for a Walt Disney World Vacation are on Disney Property. They have a lot of free perks that make your Walt Disney World Vacation so much more enjoyable. You will be completely immersed in the Disney Magic. You will have the quality that only Disney can supply. You will have reliable and consistent transportation to and from the parks.
This perk is worth it, especially if you have little ones. All of the beds I have ever had inside of a Disney Hotel were top notch. This is welcome relief after a long day at a Disney Park.
You can stay at a cheaper hotel outside of the Walt Disney World Resort. This is somewhat subjective, if you do, I recommend finding a quality hotel with quality beds. You can find rooms just outside of Disney as cheap as $29.00 a night; however the beds, rooms, comfort, and quality will all be in question. Consider this, if we both leave the Magic Kingdom right after fireworks for our rooms, Say that I am staying at the Pop Century Resort on Disney Property and you are staying at a hotel which is advertised as “just minutes away from Disney.” We both exit out of the same turnstile at the same time. I will arrive at my hotel by the time that you arrive at your car at the Ticket and Transportation center, and then you will have to drive 10-30 minutes to get back to your hotel. (Have you ever seen the traffic getting off world drive on to 192 west bound right after the Magic Kingdom closes? I have, it’s not just minutes, and it can be a long time)
If you like being able to escape Disney, then staying outside the park is a good option, just be prepared to wait longer times to get into the park in the morning, and to get out of the park in the evening. However, I highly recommend Staying inside Disney Property for the convenience.

- What about Food?

There is no way to really sugar cote it. Food at Walt Disney World is expensive. If you are on a tight budget, then I recommend what is called the counter service restaurants. These restaurants are basically fast food restaurants and they are the cheapest way to eat inside the parks. However, Disney has many “table service” food options. I recommend exploring theWalt Disney World website for all the restaurant options.
I have heard that Disney will allow you to bring a small cooler into the park. This is good news if you want to bring drinks, PowerBars, sandwiches etc. The Bad News is that you have to keep up with a cooler all day.

- Are there other ways to save?

In a word YES YES YES. How you might say? If you purchase a Vacation Package from Walt Disney World you can purchase your tickets, food (remember the expensive food?), and your hotel accommodations in an all in one package. The biggest savings can come from adding the dining package. To your trip, it sounds expensive when you first get the quote but it will save you BUNDLES OF CASH and you will eat better. Typically adding the dining package will provide you a counter service meal, and a table service meal, and a snack every day of your trip. I highly recommend this. I have saved 30-40% on dining alone.
A Disney World Vacation can be the best vacation of your life. If you will remember these tips you will be on your way to planning a Walt Disney World Vacation and enjoying the time that you will spend with your family and friends.

Built to Last $29.99 This is not a book about charismatic visionary leaders. It is not about visionary product concepts or visionary products or visionary market insights. Nor is it about just having a corporate vision. This is a book about something far more important, enduring, and substantial. This is a book about visionary companies. So write Jim Collins and Jerry Porras in this groundbreaking book that shatters myths, provides new insights, and gives practical guidance to those who would like to build landmark companies that stand the test of time. Drawing upon a six-year research project at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business, Collins and Porras took eighteen truly exceptional and long-lasting companies — they have an average age of nearly one hundred years and have outperformed the general stock market by a factor of fifteen since 1926 — and studied each company in direct comparison to one of its top competitors. They examined the companies from their very beginnings to the present day — as start-ups, as midsize companies, and as large corporations. Throughout, the authors asked: What makes the truly exceptional companies different from other companies? What separates General Electric, 3M, Merck, Wal-Mart, Hewlett-Packard, Walt Disney, and Philip Morris from their rivals? How, for example, did Procter & Gamble, which began life substantially behind rival Colgate, eventually prevail as the premier institution in its industry? How was Motorola able to move from a humble battery repair business into integrated circuits and cellular communications, while Zenith never became dominant in anything other than TVs? How did Boeing unseat McDonnell Douglas as the world’s best commercial aircraft company — what did Boeing have that McDonnell Douglas lacked? By answering such questions, Collins and Porras go beyond the incessant barrage of management buzzwords and fads of the day to discover timeless qualities that have consistently distinguished out-

Christianity and the Mass Media in America $84.95 The mass media and religious groups in America regularly argue about news bias, sex and violence on television, movie censorship, advertiser boycotts, broadcast and film content rating systems, government regulation of the media, the role of mass evangelism in a democracy, and many other issues. In the United States the major disputes between religion and the media usually have involved Christian churches or parachurch ministries, on the one hand, and so-called secular media, on the other. Often the Christian Right locks horns with supposedly liberal Eastern media elite and Hollywood entertainment companies. When a major Protestant denomination calls for an economic boycott of Disney, the resulting news reports suggest business as usual in the tensions between faith groups and media empires. Schultze demonstrates how religion and the media in America have borrowed each other’s rhetoric. In the process, they have also helped to keep each other honest, pointing out respective foibles and pretensions. Christian media have offered the public as well as religious tribes some of the best media criticism — better than most of the media criticism produced by mainstream media themselves. Meanwhile, mainstream media have rightly taken particular churches to task for misdeeds as well as offered some surprisingly good depictions of religious life. The tension between Christian groups and the media in America ultimately is a good thing that can serve the interest of democratic life. As Alexis de Tocqueville discovered in the 1830s, American Christianity can foster the habits of the heart that ward off the antisocial acids of radical individualism.

Mainstream media and Christianity will always be at odds in a democracy. That is exactly the way it should be for the good of each one.
