… will save you loads of money !

Many families get quite a shock when they calculate what it will cost them to have a Walt Disney World holiday.

You’ll need flights, accommodation, car hire/driving costs, food, passes to Walt Disney World (they are expensive - children are classed as ages 3-9 years old and costs not much less than adult prices), entertainment, and more…

I am going to show you how to have a budget-wise Disney holiday.

Tip # 1. Do it Yourself

Book your Disney World vacation online.

You will find the cheapest rates by booking each component separately yourself - air, accommodation, car hire and even theme park tickets.

You can book way in advance and still get the same savings as if you had booked last minute. The difference is that booking last minute can cause you stress. So Relax !

Take your own food and drink. If you’re taking a charter flight, you can pay far more than you want to pay for in-flight food and drinks. You might not even enjoy it.

Tip # 2. Rent Orlando Villas  direct from the owner.

Stay in a privately owned villa or vacation rental home within 20 minutes drive of Walt Disney World.

People in Europe have been holidaying in private villas for years. Many Europeans and North Americans now own villas in Orlando all within 20 minutes drive of Disney.

These privately owned homes belong to families just like yourselves. Because these families vacation in their homes as well, they are fully equipped with everything that you could hope for.

The price you pay is where the bargain comes in if you book directly from the owner of the property. Vacation homes near Disney  can start from as little as $89 to less than $160 per night for a whole family sized house. Price often depends on the season and quality, level of privacy and amenities of the villa that you want.

Your whole family could have room to themselves instead of cramming together in the same hotel bedroom.

Plus, you can have lounge, private pool, spa, game room, full kitchens and much more than I can mention here.

To make your holiday even cheaper, split the cost of your villa with another family.

Orlando has many huge villas that can sleep 2-3 families. Many have multiple master bedrooms. So each family can have a master bedroom and extra bedrooms for the rest of the family. They also have multiple bathrooms and multiple living/dining areas.

So if you don’t mind sharing with friends or family you could save even more money on accommodation.

Sign up for newsletters on Orlando vacation rentals websites. That way you can keep abreast of special deals available.

Look out for last minute deals from private villa owners.

Once you rent a private villa you won’t want to ever use a hotel again.

Tip # 3. Go Off Season

Prices plummet when the kids are back at school! You save more than 50% on flights, and at low season, Orlando vacation rentals are much cheaper.

Flights:

You would be amazed how much you can save in airline tickets if you go low season, especially if your family is large.

Sign up to newsletters with your favorite airlines to hear about the best flight deals first.

Seize the specials by looking out for bargain flight offers in good time.

Many websites specialize in finding air fare deals. Use farefinders. These are websites that search for cheap airfares.

Look out for newspapers that offer flight discounts that involve collecting tokens. Some have ‘buy one get on free deals’ on flights at specific times of the year.

Don’t fly at weekends if there are surcharges.

But, who wants to go to Walt Disney World when kids are Back at school?

If you are a bargain hunting holiday-maker, you might consider it if you realize the savings you could have.

Tip # 4. Spend Less on Your Family’s Food

Food is expensive in the theme parks without a doubt.

You can eat meals in your Florida Villa and save money. You get a fully equipped full-size kitchen. You don’t have to cook. You can fill the refrigerator with food from the Supermarket.

Bring snacks and drinks with you from your villa, to the Disney Parks, especially on hot and humid days when your kids need to drink lots of liquids all day long. Freeze drinks in a drinks cooler and take them with you frozen.

You and your family can return to your villa for lunch and a rest and go back to the Theme Parks refreshed and fed.

If you drive from home to your holiday villa, shop before you go. Bring your favorite items from home.

Have breakfast at restaurants that allow kids to eat free. They advertise this in their windows.

Look out for restaurants offering free kid’s meals.

Pick up money saving booklets from the local Supermarket. They are loaded with money saving coupons.

Look out for coupons that save you money at full service restaurants as well as your fast food chains like McDonalds.

You can find some good deals at Walt Disney World if you choose carefully. A family of four can easily spend $50 for little more than a snack.

A better option is for you to splash out once or twice in the Disney World ‘Parks on the ‘all you can eat character meals’ or on ‘fun themed restaurants’. This can make your holiday even more memorable and make for good photo opportunities.

Popular buffet restaurants with fairly good prices include character breakfast at Cinderella’s Royal Table, and the Polynesian Resort’s dinners where food is cooked at a firepit, games are played with the kids, and food is brought to your table time and time again. The Boma restaurant at Animal Kingdom Lodge has a huge selection.

Also, for a bit more than $50, you and your family could eat a full buffet at a fun restaurant such as the Crystal Palace in the Magic Kingdom, which has Winnie the Pooh and his pals in attendance.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets are $15-$29 per person. Kids have their own meal choices, plus a make your own sundae bar. There is a good selection for parents and your glass of drinks will be refilled to your content.

Tip # 5. Save money on Theme Park Tickets and General Entertainment

It’s always wise to spend some time developing an itinerary before you buy your Theme Park tickets, because the right passes for you depend on how you plan to spend your days.

Be sure to check all your options. You may be overlooking a special deal for which you qualify, such as Florida resident, military/civil service, and corporate discounts.

There are lots of legitimate ways to get discounted Walt Disney World passes.

Unfortunately, there are also lots of places where you can get ripped off.

So be very careful.

The WalMart at 4444 W. Vine in Kissimmee, has a travel agency called Wal-Mart Vacations that sells discounted Disney World tickets. The prices are discounted about 5%. But, they may not carry every type of ticket.

Pick up a money saving coupons booklet from the local supermarket. It is not just for food.

There are also money saving coupons in those booklets for admission discounts to places like Universal Orlando, Sea World, Busch Gardens and more.

Some popular events are also promoted at times such as Disney on Ice, “buy one get one” coupon.

You can even save money on adventures like go-cart racing, with free ‘buy one get one free coupons’.

Tip # 6. Free Admissions at Disney!

Visit Disney’s resort hotels (for example when you dine at Boma), but you do not have to dine.

Tour the grounds, marvel at the gardens and architecture, listen to the music, and mingle with the cast members.

If you do dine make sure you give yourself a lot of time before dinner, so that you have plenty of time to savor the sights in daylight.

Tip # 7. Car Hire Savings

Look out for car rental savings from almost all of the national car hire companies.

Tip # 8. Airport Parking

Book your airport parking in advance. It is much more expensive on the day.

 

Check your car insurance or roadside assistance membership for special offers on airport parking.

Some airport hotels offer one night pre-flight stays that include holiday parking.

Look out for other parking offers.

Book your cab/minivan in advance. Negotiate a deal with the driver to pick you up on return as you are giving them double business.

Tip # 9. Buy Low Cost Travel Insurance

Compare prices and make sure that it has what you need. If you’re going away more than once in the year consider an annual policy.

I always save loads of money whenever I go to Disney, and I still have a Disney holiday in luxury and style… you can too!

I’ve travelled to Panama at least a dozen times and stayed at countless <a href=”http://panamacitybeachhotels.blogspot.com”>beach hotels in Panama </a> on my travels. You’re probably going to need a little background information when you first travel to Panama before you go and even before you start looking for <a href=”http://panamacitybeachhotels.blogspot.com”>hotels in Panama </a> City. I believe Panama is one of those undiscovered tourist destinations which is only just now opening up to visitors. So it’s one of those undiscovered secrets that will rapidly change as more and more people from North America search for another sunny vacation spot apart from the traditional Caribbean islands such as Cuba, Mexico, the Bahamas, and Jamaica etc.

Location of Panama

Panama is officially known as the Republic of Panama. It is most southern country in Central America on an the isthmus which connects North and South America. It lies between two great seas, the Pacific Ocean in the and the Caribbean Sea in the North. The total population of Panama is about 3.1 million people but this number is expanding with the increasing number of retirees who are selecting Panama as a home.

The Economy of Panama

As far as the economy goes, Panama is the third biggest economy in Central America. It is the largest consumer of resources in Central America. The unemployment rate is about 7.2% and has a poverty rate of about 20%. However, its infrastructure and economy is solid and growing. For many tourists, it’s becoming a new vacation destination for travelers from North America who search for a place to escape the bad winter weather. Its industries are centered on the commerce, banking, tourism, private industry and trading benefitting from its privileged geographic situation. In Panama City, there is lots of construction going on and real estate is booming. Retirees are heading south to check out Panama as a retirement destination. All this will come as a surprise for those who don’t know much about Panama.

Currency of Panama

American dollars are used here mostly. The national currency is the balboa.

What to See in Panama

The tourist to Panama will find there are lots of delights to discover in Panama as well as the famous Panama Canal. Although Panama is most famous because of the Panama Canal, the country is famous for snorkeling, bird watching and hiking. The miles and miles of white sand beaches of the coastline are splendid and unspoiled.

Security Warning for Some Areas of Panama

You must avoid certain areas in Panama because of smugglers, bandits, Colombian guerrillas and paramilitary forces in Darién Province from the Columbian border along the Tuira River to Yaviza because they target tourists. Much of Darién National Park is okay, but be advised to take a travel guide with you or stay away from it altogether. Another area to avoid is the Madden Dam in Chagre National Park for the same reasons.

The Weather in Panama

When is the best time of the year to vacation in Panama? There are actually two different seasons, a dry season which starts mid-December and lasts to mid-April and a rainy season which starts from mid-April to December. On the Caribbean coast of Panama, it seems to rain all the time, but less so in February to March, September to October. Days are generally hot throughout the year, with an average of 32 degrees Celsius, (90 degrees Fahrenheit to approximately 22 degrees Celsius (72 degrees Fahrenheit in the evenings. During the rainy season, the humidity is quite high. If you are traveling to the mountains, it is cooler with a temperature ranging from about 10 – 18 degrees Celsius (50 – 64 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year.

So you have it now, a basic introduction to the Republic of Panama the place you have decided to explore for your next southern trip away from the winter storms of North America. Not a country to be missed.

Some of the best beaches in the world are located in the Caribbean Sea. For sure is the zone of the planet that has the best water, the most shining sand and the greatest hotel infraestructure in order to have everything resolve and just enjoy of the summer.

Some of the best beaches in the Caribbean are located in the multiple islands that this misterious sea has to offer. Once a shelter of pirate and thiefs, the islands of the Caribbean offer besides the incredible beaches, all the magic and ghost stories that the pirate world has given. In this context, the best beaches in the Caribbean are:

Los Roques, Venezuela, an amazing, unknown and wild place to enjoy some of the best views of the Caribbean Sea.

Tulum, Mexico, with spectacular Maya ruins, having the particularity that is the only place in the coast that the Maya culture has build one of their

Cancun, Mexico, the famous springbreak destination where you can find the calmest water and the craziest nights

Placencia, Belize, the most famous beach in Belize, and is in fact a peninsula of sixteen mile surrounded by the Caribbean Sea and the Placencia Lagoon

White Bay Beach, Jost Van Dyke, the tiniest island of the British Virgin Islands, has a population of 150 and his name came from a famous Dutch pirate that used to came to the island

With some of the best summer spots in the world, the Caribbean Sea is home of the most beautiful beaches in the world. There are several reasons for that, and one of them is that the Caribbean water temperature average is 27 °C and it does not change beyond 3°C. The Caribbean offers a wide variety of beaches, hotels, wildnights and summer activities like diving, snorkelling or just lying on the beach.

Whoa! What’s goin’ on?” I shouted. “Feels like there’s a volcano erupting in me!”

Wide-eyed, Jerry stared at me with dropped jaw. He’d swear I was just kiddin’ ‘cept my body was starting to bounce erratically up and down in the booth. We were enjoying blueberry flapjacks at a cowboy café in Cottonwood, Arizona. Then mayhem broke loose like a scared calf in his first rodeo rink. 

Maybe the trigger was the conversation? Not your usual country breakfast fare. I was reciting to Jerry all I could recall of the “I Have a Dream” speech of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., I had a very profound, visceral dream the night before of the electric atmosphere of the massive throng at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in 1963. Growing up in a white Detroit suburb and dropping out of school at 14 to play hockey, Jerry had never heard the speech. So, innocently, I was recounting King’s spine-tingling words when I began to shake uncontrollably.

A wave of ecstasy swept through my body—and through my being. Some church folks would call it “the rapture.” All I knew was I was quaking so wildly that I popped out of the booth and onto the floor—where my movements resembled all the signs of an epileptic fit. I saw the cashier pick up a phone—no doubt to call an ambulance. Luckily for me, Jerry had the heft of the former Detroit Red Wing hockey stud that he was. He easily lifted me onto his shoulders and whisked me out of the café before some good-intentioned doc could pump me full of drugs.

Once I was in the safety of my truck, I realized that I was filled with spirit—specifically the spirit of Martin Luther King, Jr. I felt blissful, afire with joy. I wasn’t frightened or even perplexed—simply amazed and filled with awe. I was most definitely in a state of grace. I took hours to gently—though reluctantly—return to a more normal sense of my being. And then Jerry and I took off for our fourth day in a remote canyon near Sedona.

Jerry and I were on a mission. A calling to lift the ancient veils cloaking our true spiritual identity and nature. After years of running from the awareness of who we really are and our real power, we decided to isolate ourselves in a secluded canyon wilderness for as long as it took to unmask the truth! Far from the distractions of modern society, we prayed that we could intuit—or better yet, directly experience—our true connection with our real Selves, each other, God—and St. Germain and Jesus, our two closest spiritual mentors.

For the first three days (daze!) not much realization arose. We meditated, swam, wandered in the wild—and had little insight to show for it. But on the fourth morning, after my energizing rendezvous with Dr. King, we were both finally opened enough to receive our aspiration for the journey.

After clearing the air with an angry verbal exchange fueled by our joint frustration, Jerry and I found ourselves face-to-face with Jesus. We could see, feel and hear our friend in his spirit form.

Directing us to sit in the crystal-clear, spring-fed stream, Jesus shared with us for hours many powerful ways to shift our creating attention, and open our heart and other charkas. Every so often he would lift a handful of water and pour it over our heads. I realize now that he was casually baptizing us with this natural holy water—washing away the old and flowing in the new.

Jerry and I began to radiate warmth and light from deep within our bodies. We felt blessed and inspired. As dusk drew near, Jesus bade goodbye, inviting us to share with others what he had shared with us that momentous summer day. Being a seminar leader my whole life, I whispered, “What shall we call it?” Jesus replied, “The Dream.”

Jesus suggested we offer the tools he gave us in the spirit of “The Dream—a Gathering of Equals,” invoking a space in which people come together as equals in love, power and wisdom. A time dedicated to empowering each other to own their inherent compassion, strength and knowing.

Shortly thereafter, Jerry and I invited our closest friends to Sedona for the first Gathering of Equals. Thirty folks came from around the world. Together we intuited how to proceed each day for four days. Of course, it was very magical, fun and effective. On the second day, an old friend of mine all the way from Vermont sensed that I was on to something fresh and exciting. Lydie called to see what I’d discovered. She gathered our second group two weeks later in New England. And for the last fifteen years, the gatherings have come together by word of mouth, funky flyers and the sacred whimsy of synchronicity.

I’m inspired to write about the origin of my Dream at this time in our collective Earth journey when there is a renewed sense of cooperation and common purpose in our country. In the spirit of my adventure, I suggest at this time, “Gather your dreams. Gather your power. Gather our de-light-full shared destiny!”

Ok i’ve been looking up research on caribean Islands cause i am planning on going all inclusive in a couple months what is the best island right now St. Lucia seems the best is there one nicer ?

St.Lucia is not a bad choice but it would all depend on what you are looking for in a vacation.
Rising like an emerald tooth from the flat Caribbean Sea, St Lucia definitely grabs your attention. Glossed over as some sort of glam honeymoon spot, this mountainous island has much more to offer then just posh digs.
Who says the Caribbean is all about lying on the beach? If that’s all you do in St Lucia you’re missing out. The rainforest-choked interior is made for hiking; a canopy of green covers the island like a haze.

Barbados is a beautiful island. Lots of lovely scenery and so much to do, morning noon and night. You can never get bored because there is something for every type of person to take part in. Barbados is also romatic. Activites for kids and older ones…you will not regret visiting! The island has great beaches and is wonderful for shopping too! In Barbados you can also swim with Turtles. Wonderful sandy beaches with clear blue waters.Why not make this your destination?
