Can you tell me about Disney World and where can I get a book on Disney World? Do they have airport transportition to and from the airport? Where on the internet can my dad book a flight from Charlotte NC to Orlando International Airport? do you have any advice on the Star Wars weekends? How much are 2 tickets to Disney World cost?

disney does have buses that run from the orlando airport to the hotels and ones thattake you back to the air port. but you have to be there at a certain time and if ur not there at that time they will leave without you and the port orleans riverside is really nice so is the caribean hotels
2 :
You are asking for a lot of info. Best Hotel: Contemporary Hotel - right on the monorail, easy for transportation to all theme parks. Look for a book called Birnbaums's Walt Disney World ($11.53 on Amazon.com). Yes their is transportation - Disney's Magical Express from Orlando International to your hotel. Tickets depend on how long you stay. The longer you stay the cheaper the price per day is to attend the parks.

All the Disney hotels are wonderful! You can check them all out yourself on the disney website. Disney has buses called the Magic Express from the Orlando website. When it comes time to make your reservations you just have to call 1-407-WDISNEY and let them know your reservation number and flight number and you're all set! It's a great service and it's free! http://home.disney.go.com/travel/ The best book to get for tips and advice is Birnbaums Book - you can get it at any bookstore from Amazon. There are also alot of great Disney message boards. I like the Intercot boards, and www.mousesavers.com you can sign up for their monthly newsletter that will give you information about the Disney calendar, refurbishments at the park, etc.... Have a great time planning!

f I had the money, I'd choose a room at Animal Lodge overlooking the Animal Park or at The Polynesian with a veiw of Magic Kingdom fireworks. However I must economize and generally choose to either camp at Fort Wilderness or stay at The French Quarter. If you want to enjoy nightly dining in Epcot's World Showcase, then choose a hotel within walking distance of that park's "back door" entrance. A Disney bus will give you free transportation too and from Orlando International Airport. For information an cost of Disney lodging and tickets, go to the Disney page. It's easy to google up and easy to use. It's even easier to call the toll free number; the people at the other end can answer all your questions and really help you to plan a trip that fits your budget -- they don't push you to upgrade at all. With the cost of car rental, you may want to drive instead of fly. It's really nice to have a car so you can drive "off campus" sometimes. Believe it not, you can get kind of sick of Disney and want to escape to "real life" after a day or two -- especially if you need to buy something. Disney prices are a lot higher than out in the real world!

Hi, I love the Wilderness Lodge and the Polynesian Resort. But any of the Disney Resorts are great!! Have a great trip and check out the link below for loads of information.
6 :
I like Wilderness Lodge or Animal Kingdom Lodge. The best economic deals would be at Pop Century or Fort Wilderness though. Disney would definitely provide transportation to and from the airport and resort. They are there to provide you with the best vacation possible. Good luck and have fun!
7 :
There are three types of hotels- Deluxe Resorts Moderate Resorts Value Hotels and Rosorts I've only been to Deluxe resorts. I definently suggest the Contemporary. It is family friendly and has excellent dining and room service. There are two pools, a playground, a marina, three resturants; Chef Mickey, an Italian resturant on the 15th floor, and the Steak House. And it even has a mini-mall inside it.
8 :
Overall, (value, experience, rooms, fun, location) I'd say the Wilderness Lodge.
9 :
you can't go wrong with any disney hotels. the all-stars are nice if you are on a budget but for the money i would go with caribbean beach resort. it is awesome! disney runs the "magical express" which takes you to and from the orlando airport for free on a very comfortable bus. cost of tickets varies depending on how many days you want to visit the parks. it decreases on a per day basis the more days you go. for books you can get the " 2008 unofficial guide to disney world" on amazon which will answer all of your questions. best website for air and hotel deals is definitely http://www.travelcuse.com . the site is an aggregator so it takes offers from all the online travel sites and shows you the best deals. highly recommended. good luck!

personally I would travel as light as possible... airlines charge ridiculous fees for baggage these days, so id go with 1 bag. Id take1 pair shoes (on your feet) and flip flops, 5 pairs of socks, 2 pair of shorts, 1 dress outfit, 1 sweater, 1 pair jeans, a hat, a few t-shirts, sunscreen, bug spray and health and beauty aids...and swimsuit. If your going to buy this stuff before you go, you may want to think about buying it when your there, or if your staying in a hotel they'll have most all of the health and beauty aids for you. Eat a big meal before you get on the plane in ohio and wait till your destination to eat again cause everything in the airports are way over priced. try to avoid checking any luggage and just bring 1 carry on with no liquids. it will save you time while going through security and you wont need to go to baggage claim when you get to florida... its going to be humid, not sure how chilly or hot depending on where in florida your going to be...check the weather channel the week before you go and you'll be prepared. when you pack your clothes I would not fold them and pack them flat, fold them and roll them up tight to use up less space in your bag, and if your worried about getting rained on somewhere along the way and dont want your clothes in your bag to get wet, then line your bag with a trash bag or something like that before you put your stuff in it, that way your stuff wont get wet. skip the whole health and beauty aids thing, dont bring any,just wait till your there... Travel light. Travel smart. Have fun and i hope i helped!!!

April in Jacksonville is usually pretty warm - you can expect 70s or 80s most days, but you'll want at least a light jacket or sweater since nighttime temps can be coolish (tho probably not much past upper-50s at worst). The afternoon heat usually isn't enough to trigger the pop-up thunderstorms so prevalent in summer, so you shouldn't have to worry about unexpected rain - April isn't particular rainy in Jax...that's in more the fall. It should be plenty warm enough to hit the beach (tho water temp may be another story - if your hotel has a pool, it probably would be warm enough, certainly so if heated) - just might have to do your swimming in the afternoons or evenings once the sun's had a chance to warm the water up from the overnight cooldown. If your shampoos and such are in a carry-on, make sure that besides small bottles, you have them all in a plastic bag so they can be removed and sent thru the scanner separately.

Wow, well you guys will have a blast! I don't know much about "Darth Vader" and what not but im sure you can find out at www.disneyworld.com. Disney parks are amazing; there are four main parks. Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, MGM and Epcot. Depending on what your range for pricing for hotels is they have all differnt kinds to accomodate your familys budget. The lowest pricing range is the Value resorts. They are standard rooms with (im pretty sure two queen sized beds but you cant ask for whatever) and a tv. It's very plain and simple the standard room, but the hotels are colorful and fun. the value resorts are Pop Century, All Star Music, All Star Sports, and All Star Movies. The moderate hotels have a bit more to the rooms and there are the middle price for the hotels in Walt Disney World. This includes (Port Orleans, Saratoga Springs and many more). The highest end for hotels are the Deluxe hotels and they are the most exspensive. This includes Disney's Wilderness Lodge, The Grand Floridian, Animal Kingdom Lodge, The Contemporary, and The Beach Club (plus more). Your father can get cheap tickets which are hopper passes-- but it depends on how many days you are spending. Try jetblue.com for cheap airflight prices. You can probably but darth vader merchandise in MGM im assuming; i haven't seen any recently but if you ask the cast members im sure they can point you in the right direction. once again im not sure where you can get your picture taken with darth vader but im sure you can get it taken at the convention (if they even still have it) for tigger and pooh, they are around Crystal Palace (which is a resutrant in Magic Kingdom and you NEED reservations to get in, it's a character lunch so you will see more than jsut tigger and pooh you will see poohs whole gang!) Stitch you can probably find in tomorrow land. And finally of course you gusy will have fun, Disney is for everyone not just for kids, adults are kids to you know!

Hey there. First answer; the Star Wars weekends at Disney World for 2008 are the weekends(each Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) of June 6th through June 29th. Unfortunately there is no guaruntee that you will get to meet Darth Vader however, I'm sure the chances of you finding him somewhere around MGM park during Star Wars Weekends is high. :) As for Disney World's parks and hotels, simply go to www.waltdisneyworld.com and click on the parks tab or resorts tab. If you've never been before, you're sure to love it! If you want to stay at a resort, and need to find plane tickets as well, I recommend you go to that site(wdw) and find the place that says "Magic Your Way Package". It's a very simple way to plan your Disney vacation exactly the way you want it(including air travel). OR if you'd rather find out more about how to plan your trip, you should definately order the free DVD from the disney website that can be mailed to you to help you plan your vacation. I'm sure once you get to Disney's Hollywood Studios(or MGM park), you'll be able to find a store that sells all the Star Wars merchandise(including the Darth Vader shirt and hat). If you want to meet Stitch and Tigger, then your best bet is to also buy tickets to the Magic Kingdom(my favorite of the four parks at Disney World). Stitch can usually be seen in Tomorrowland(where you can meet and take pictures with him), and Pooh and all his friends (including Tigger) usually hang out near the front of the park. If not, then eat at the Crystal Palace Buffet (where all the Winnie-the-Pooh characters are). Be prepared to wait in line for your chance to take your picture with the characters. At Disney, they're the celebrities and kids of all ages are anxious to get their autographs. :) The best time to go to Disney World is in the off-season, because it's not so crowded. However Star Wars weekends take place in-season, in the middle of the summer. Everything depends on how much money you have in your budget, and how much time you can spare. If you go for a week, then experience ALL four parks and possibly one of their water parks too. If you only have a few days, then I'd recommend you go to Magic Kingdom and MGM since these sound like the two places you'd like to visit most. I hope you have a lot of fun on your trip to WDW! It's sure to be a magical experience. :)
