http://www.streetdirectory.com/travel_guide/12178/disney_travel/planning_a_cheap_trip_to_disney_world.html go to that website and there is lots of information for inexpesive trips The first trick for the savvy Disney vacationer is to check on e-bay three weeks before the trip looking for park tickets. Never buy single day single park tickets. The park-hopper ticket is the way to go. This ticket will allow you change parks during the days of your vacation. You can leave one park and go to another to avoid the crowds. Get to the parks early in the day. Most families like to sleep in and enjoy a late breakfast. So even with the parks opening early in the day they are relatively empty first thing in the morning. Ride the park rides at the back of the park first. It may take a while to walk into the park but most other patrons stop at the first rides and ride those. As the park starts to fill they move to the back rides. Utilize this time to enjoy some of the popular rides at the back of the park and save your fastpass tickets. At the start of the day do not grab fast pass tickets, wait until the park starts to see more traffic. You need to be aware that there is a time limit on the frequency that you can grab a fast pass ticket. So you cannot obtain another fast pass ticket until the designated time, this time will be on your fast pass ticket. Use these sparingly to pick the choice rides. While you are waiting on your fast pass ticket time enjoy other areas of the parks. When you have to opportunity to pick up your next fast pass then do so immediately. Only at this point can you use the original ticket. Make sure that you carry a backpack with you into the park. This pack will serve you well during the day. You should pack in water, and drinks in amounts that are comfortable to carry. This will save you dearly during the day. The cost of drinks and supplies inside the park walls is extravagant. http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/index you can order a free cd directly from them to plan your trip www.cheapoair.com get information about booking the trip in advance. they have the best prices

The best time is to go around this time of the year but in reality there is no best time because Disney is always pack with tourist. A place I found out where you can get cheap ticket for Disney ,tickets to any other attraction around Orlando ,and best deal for shopping is by getting the info at the Orlando department of Tourism the web site is http://www.orlandoinfo.com/ there you will find good deals.

Best way to go through Airports
Best way to go through Airports?
I am flying alone for the first time in my life on Friday. I just want to know like what exactly getting on a plane entails, step by step. I'm going to the Newark Airport and I have a connecting flight from Charlotte, and finally ending up in Atlanta. I only have one bag, but in that bag is a wrapped jewelery box (late Christmas gift) and I was wondering if security would have problems with that (I'm also bringing a stuffed animal...which shouldn't be a problem)... Also, what should I bring...not bring? etc. Any information/tips/advice someone could give me would be appreciated greatly.

Please note that by entering an airport you have given your consent for the UNCONSTITUTIONAL TSA to search you and indeed remove ANYTHING from either your checked or carry-on baggage and you have NO say in the matter at all, they will probably unwrap the gift item you are carrying and inspect the contents. Note that we would not have TSA at all except for the MYTH that 19 suicidal hijackers took control of 4 commercial airliners and crashed 3 of them into buildings. This is a MYTH .... get a CLUE AMERICA! Arrest the emperor for INDECENT EXPOSURE!
2 :
First, you need to check in. If you only have a carry-on bag, you can check-in online and print your boarding pass yourself. This saves you time at the airport. If you plan to check-in a bag, allow extra time at the airport, check in at the counter of your airline, where you will drop off your bag, will receive a tag to track the bag (in case it gets lost) and where you can also get your boarding pass. It goes without saying that you should not check-in very valuable items. Bags do get lost or damaged occasionally, and the airlines only cover damages up to certain limits. So, take the jewelry with you on board. After checking in, you go to the security check-point. On most airports, there is some pre-screening where they will check your boarding pass and possibly your id, i.e. driver's license. At the security checkpoint, you will have to put all your bags on belt running through an x-ray machine, as well as shoes and jacket. Laptops also have to be put on the belt separately. There are limitations about liquids, etc. See the link below for details. Then you walk through the scanner yourself; make sure that you have no metal like coins or cell phones in your pockets, they will set off the scanner. In a few cases they may decide to search you more closely, which may include patting you down and/or opening your bags. After that, you walk to your departure gate. Up-to-date gate information will be displayed on monitors in many places inside of the airport. About 30 minutes before departure, boarding of the plane will begin. Boarding happens in stages, starting with persons who need assistance, such as elderly or families with small kids, then first and business class, then frequent fliers, and then coach class.
3 :
I just want to add, that they may make you unwrap the box: for that reason either use a gift bag or leave it unwrapped & take paper & bow with you. make sure your bag fits the carry one size designated by your airline (their web will say). Have a nice flight. (Ps: if you do not leave the secure areas in Charlotte (ie exit through the security gate) you do NOT need to re-do security).

Oh yeah...I had a situation pretty much exactly like this one. My solution was I went back to the bus station and sat in the mens' room for 20 minutes before my sister in law called and told me to trade my Ford Escort in for a Toyota Celica which made me super mad so I called my uncle who was baby sitting my 4 kids and told me that the oldest just called the baby a doody-head which made me even madder so I walked around in a circle for another 15 minutes before going to the pharmacy and buying some Pepto-Bismol for my upset stomach because I have digestive issues which my doctor told me was due to so much stress and could lead to an ulcer which made me really mad because my grandpa died from an ulcer back in '73 and I thought I would die from it too. wow, I thought I was alone!!

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.
3 :
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.

Overall, (value, experience, rooms, fun, location) I'd say the Wilderness Lodge.

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!

Trip Itinerary Advice! (; What to pack? Best answer gets 10 pts.?
I'm going to FL in April, and I want to know how to dress for spring in Florida! What's it like during the rainy months? I'm sure it's a lot different than in Ohio! Anyway, I'm 14 and I'll be on my own, on a connecting flight to Charlotte, then to Jacksonville. There's only a 45 minute or so lay-over. So basically, I NEED A LIST OF THINGS TO PACK FOR MY TRIP! That's where you come in(; It'll be a four/five day trip. Also include HOW to pack them (ex: shampoo in a 3 oz. container) please and thank you! Please feel free to answer this, however, if you want any sort of follow-up, you can email me at goalx30@yahoo.com . Thanks for taking the time to read this! Have a great spring break 2010! -Rachel

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.

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.
