Trip to Disney World and Then Short Disney Cruise

I dont know specifics,but I would encourage you to look into going to Disney world in Sept. My friend went this past year, during a time in Sept. when they offer a dining plan for FREE! That is a huge savings, and she said it was great food. Really nice meals, character breakfast..the whole nine yards. It goes on every year, because she heard about it from another friend who has done it several times. Major savings if you can go then! Have fun! ~A.~

Hi Mama. I've been to Disney a couple of times, but never on a cruise. I hear the Disney Cruise is wonderful, but pricey. Everything Disney is expensive though.

There are four different parks in Disney -- Epcot, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and MGM Studios. I would recommend reading http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/planning-guides/in-depth... here to get some information.

Also, October is a great time in Orlando! The weather is great and the parks are not that busy. Keep in mind that it is still hurricane season (until mid November). Also, the rainy season means that you will likely get a short rainfall each day. But, it dries up quickly.

I highly recommend a character breakfast or dinner. They can be expensive, but it will give your child the opportunity to meet many characters at one time. It can be exhausting and stressful to wait in many lines to meet different characters. Many of the character meals fill up quickly and in advance, so you will want to make a reservation. http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/restaurants/?sortBy=nG:h...

I would buy your tickets right on the Disney website or at the park. Do not be fooled by people offering free tickets. This is only if you attend a very long sales presentation where they try to sell you a timeshare. NOT FUN!!! I know from personal experience. If you buy them at the park, it can be a pain because there can be long lines. There are several different options for tickets depending on what you are looking to do.

I hope some of that helps!

Y.,
I am actually going on a Disney Cruise on the 23rd of this month. I am taking my 5 year old.

I am a travel agent in Southwest Fort Worth and Disney is one of my specials. I actually am in the process of doing a package for an extended family and have a high school group going this week so I am very familiar with what the different packages and combos are.

If you are interested in working with a travel agent, then please contact me and I can help plan the vacation of your dreams. It is no additional cost to you to work with me and my agency. My work email is ____@____.com and phone number is ###-###-####.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Y.,

Definitely look into the dining plan whether you have to pay for it or not, it's a great deal. We were there for 7 days, no cruise, and we went to every park. You can get great package deals that include any park for x number of days and that is really the best way to go we found. We stayed on Disney property since we only wanted to do Disney and it worked out great without a rental car expense.

Hope that helps - have a great time!
