I just got back last night, I had a great time. I took advantage, of the Package deal, they offer this time of the year, which included the Dining Plan, the Park Tickets. I stayed at the Disney Music Resort. They made me air fare arrangement, and I must say even that went well. No delays, coming or going at the airport.

Next year, I plan on taking the Disney Cruise.

Have a magical night.

I’ve vacationed around the world and been to many, many places. I can honestly say that Disney is still one of my favorite places to go. It is just never ending fun, the food is good, it is just a great time.

If you love Disney World, you will have an absolute blast on the Disney Cruise. All the magic and fun of Disney World, but in a more relaxed environment. The service is great, just as good if not better than some of the higher end cruise lines, great food, tons of fun, the best shows at sea. Plus, if you are traveling with kids, the programs are great and there is really something for everyone, so if you aren’t traveling with kids you don’t have to worry about the boat being filled with kids. The kids have so much fun in the kids programs that they tend to stay there.

Just as a heads up, the further out in advance that you book with Disney Cruise Line, the lower the cost. I know your plans are not set yet, but if you can book something now, you will more than likely save money, if a lower rate would come out it can be changed. Disney raises prices as the ship fills, so the closer you get to sailing, the higher the price is… Just wanted to let you know!

I purchased tickets at a Disney store in Alabama for Walt Disney World.My tickets do not expire and I have a couple of days left. Can these tickets also be used at Disneyland?

Here is your answer! Good Question though. Your answer is yes because people here at Disney do anything to please their guests. Either way the Park is making their money so they would just void those tickets and give you disneyland passes instead.

I want to take my 2 kids to Disney Land over spring break, are there any discount tickets for this type of vacation. I want to give this to my kids to make 2010 better than 2009. They lost an uncle, grandfather and great grandfather this year. It’s been rough and I want them to start having fun again and stop grieving.

I’m sorry you have lost so many family members this year. I just lost my Mom and I know it can be hard. You may want to check out the specials at www.disneyland.disney.go for current deals. Have fun!

I am looking the best compnay who is providing the cheap and best services for worldwide tours, but it shud be UK based company.

I hope someone can help me out… I am looking for discount airline tickets, because I have heard that some people know some "secret," but legal ways to get them. Anyone want to share any ideas?

To answer the question "I am looking for discount airline tickets" you are going to have to dig deep. of course you can find great deals from travel agents, and some promiment travel websites.

However, the secrets you are talking about involve getting deals from a current or former airline employee. That is how people fly for so cheap, and it is the exact method that I have used.

A guy named Tony Morrison can hook you up with his method, that is what I would suggest. That is how I have gotten some great deals.

Many people want to start a business and possibly own a franchise. Promoters advertise many types of franchises, claiming the industry they discuss grows tremendously each year and you should own a franchise in that industry.

The travel industry never wanes. Even in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks, consumers continued to look for family vacation packages. Getting away together strengthens the bond between families while making priceless memories.

Many people who take the step to own a franchise fail within five years and many fail sooner, according to small business experts. With a franchise that promotes family vacation packages, the one who decides to own a franchise promotes a product sought after by consumes.

Whether families seek a cheap Hawaiian vacation package or a closer-to-home Texas vacation package, they want the best deal available.

Entrepreneurs who own a franchise that features cheap vacation packages will successfully do business with these families.

When consumers find a great family vacation package, they will want to take that vacation again. Those who own a franchise need repeat business for continued success.

Those who own a franchise can take advantage of the family vacation packages. This gives the franchise owner knowledge about the product he or she promotes. This also benefits his or her family when they own a franchise as many people say great vacations create great memories.

The entrepreneur who decides to own a franchise may do so for many reasons. They may want to start a home based business to spend more quality time with their family.

Perhaps they want to avoid travel agents who charge high fees to book family vacation packages. They may just want to make money and own a franchise.

Those who own a franchise need support. Those who sell family vacation packages often rely on a coastal vacation sales center. The employees of the call center support the person who decides to own a franchise by handling calls and explaining travel packages to interested buyers.

The coastal call center does not take away clients from the person who owns a franchise, but closes the sale. This gives the franchise owner more time to look for consumers who want to book a family vacation package.

Those who own a franchise may find they can reach the prospects but cannot “seal the deal” The coastal vacations call center gives those who own a franchise a full-time professional sales staff that gets consumers to sign on the dotted line.

Those who own a franchise need to remember that any job requires hard work. Just because they use a coastal call center to close the sales, does not mean they should not pursue their business hard.

Consumers want family vacation packages and franchise owners who work hard can make a lot of money by pursuing the market actively. Those who own a franchise work smarter, not harder.

No one should delay his or her desire to own a franchise. Home based travel agent opportunities exist and produce lucrative profits for those willing to work hard and smart and own a franchise.

Whether or not the franchise owner sells family vacation packages or specializes in Bahamas timeshares, hard work and ingenuity gives franchise owners personal and financial freedom.

Shopping for airline tickets has come a long way since the days of calling the airline companies directly to reserve your itinerary. The advent of the internet has given everyday consumers the ability to book airfares without the assistance of airline customer service representatives or travel agents. Here’s some information that will make you more knowledgeable about how to get the best deal when booking flights yourself online.

Have you ever seen the prices for a flight fluctuate drastically in the same day? This is because most airlines use robust, database driven software that factors historical purchase data along with current ticket supply and demand to determine ticket prices. For example, if a flight is selling out too fast compared with past flights for that same route, ticket prices will rise and vice versa. Prices are updated multiple times a day and even real-time in some systems.

Are you a business traveler? Airline companies are well aware that businesses are willing to pay more for airfares then the average consumer, so they commonly implement the “Saturday Night Stay Over” requirement to capitalize on them. If you’re a non-business traveler try to incorporate a Saturday night stay over to avoid this fee. If you’re on business, show your employer how much they’ll save by letting you stay the weekend, if you so desire.

What are the most inexpensive days to fly? Tuesdays and Thursdays are historically the cheapest days to fly, with Wednesdays and Saturdays being a close second. Fridays and Sundays are the most expensive. This all goes back to the aforementioned ticket demand data that helps determine ticket prices. The same holds true for seasonal popularity and “times of day”. Flying red-eye during non-peak seasons is generally cheaper because those flights have less demand.

When is the best time to book my flight? Prices on last minute airfare can be highly volatile so try to book in advance. At the last minute, airlines know you’re desperate and are willing to pay more. However, occasionally the airlines are desperate to fill seats, so prices might decrease. For travel during popular holidays (i.e. Christmas, New Years, Thanksgiving) and internationally try book at least three months in advance. Most travel sites recommend booking 7, 14 or 21 days in advance, but in my experiences the rates associated with these intervals usually get bought up way before then. So, even for domestic flights I start looking several months in advance.

One of the most important things to consider when traveling is to try to resist mainstream travel patterns. If you can avoid traveling during peak seasons, “days of the week” and “times of the day” you can experience substantial savings. If you can think “outside the box” when planning your trip, you can find the discount airfares the airlines were forced to mark down to ensure a sold-out flight.

im looking to buy 2 tickets to go to these theme parks for
Thurs-Frid-Sat-Sun-Mon for when my boyfriend and i go to fl.

Magic Kingdom
Animal Kingdom
MGM Studios
Epcot
Universal studios / Islands of adventure(same day)

i was looking at the magic your way package and was wondering what parks does that include & how it works.

is there a way i can buy tickets to the parks only?
for a deal where we can go to one park each day?

thnx in advance.

please no stupid comments.

You may buy Magic Your Way tickets only from Disney. The basic ticket will allow you to go to any ONE Disney park of your choice per day. You may also purchase an additional add-on option called the park hopper, which allows you to "hop" between parks, visiting multiple parks in the same day.

Disney’s tickets include admission to any of Disney’s four parks, which you named. They are not park specific, so if you bought a four-day ticket, you can use it however you want. You can go to Magic Kingdom three days and Epcot one day. Or you can go to one park per day. Whatever you want to do. All parks are the same price. On the basic ticket, you are allowed to leave the park and return later that day to that same park as many times as you wish. You can purchase tickets from Disney’s website ahead of time if you wish, but there is not a discount. It just saves you time in line. If you happen to be a member of AAA, you can save a little bit purchasing from them.

Universal tickets are separate and cannot be purchased from Disney. They do make something like Disney’s hopper, where you can visit both of Universal’s parks in one day. Their tickets are posted on their website, http://www.universalorlando.com and you can save a few dollars by ordering them online ahead of time.

Edit: Ok, the guy below me just COPIED my answer! Jerk!

Hi all Disney World and Star Wars lovers. I need some good feedback for Walt Disney World. Where can my dad find 2 cheap Disney tickets for a good price? Also I still need info on the Star Wars weekends!!!!! Can somebody tell me when is the Star Wars weekends and who is going to be at the Star Wars weekends???? Also my dad needs to know where can he get a guildebook on Disney World? Because we never been to Disney World before and I need to know can my dad book a disney world trip package plus Disney’s Magical express with US airways???? Is Anakin Skywalker going to be at the Star Wars weekends this year?!? Because I want my photo taken with Anakin so badly!!!!! : ) Please answer this question!!!! Should I start planning my Disney World trip out right now? Please post some good feedback on here so I can pass this info to my dad!!! I am going to Disney World after I gruduate from High School this year for a Star Wars weekend! Thanks for your help!!!! Do you like Anakin? I do!!!! Thanks!

You have asked this same question several times. But let’s see if we can put this a bit different way that may help you understand.

The biggest thing for you is the dates and guests for Star Wars Weekends are NOT Confirmed. If you are looking for a specific actor you are going to have to wait until the official schedule is published. Until then you will be unable to do any bookings. Any travel agent is going to need to know exact dates of travel before they can give you an actual cost. But if you want an approximate cost you can go to the reservation link below and put in one of the weekends in June to get an idea.

Now, if you just want general information. You can go to your local book store. They will have entire sections devoted to Walt Disney World in the Travel section. The other thing you are going to have to decide how many days you can be there for. If your only concern is SWW then you probably can get away with a 2 Nights Hotel/3 Day Ticket. I would still get the "Park Hopper" option so that you can go to other parks if you decide to. Keep in mind that the way Disney does their pricing, the cost per day goes down the longer you stay. So it may not be that much more to spend 3-4 nights than it does for 2.

The links below will get you to some Disney/Star Wars Fan sites that will probably be one of the first places you will hear about the official schedule. Along with the Disney Reservations if you want to get an idea for costs.
