I would like to give some tips to others on how to go about planning a vacation to the Happiest Place on Earth. First, before deciding anything else, you must decide which date you would like to be at the Disneyland Resort.The date is important, depending on what you would like to do while there.



The busiest times at a Disney park are Spring Break, summer, and the week between Christmas and New Years. While busy time periods cause longer lines, they also have fewer attractions down for rehabilitation, and more parades and shows will be scheduled. For the less busy times of year, the queues will be shorter, but entertainment may just be held on weekends, and more attractions will be down for rehab in the slow season.

All of this must be taken into account when you decide on your travel dates. If you want to see all of the entertainment, and ride every ride, then summer, Spring Break, or Christmas week would probably be your better choice.

Between Thanksgiving and Christmas the parks are less busy, but it is a great time to go because most entertainment and attractions will be up and running in preparation of the busiest week of the year. If your goal for a Disney Vacation is to simply be there, see and do as much as you possibly can in a short period of time, you may want to choose a less busy time of year.

Once again, a great time would be between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Disney is a totally different place in the Christmas Season, with all of the wonderful decorations. Spending a magical time like Christmas, at a magical place like Disneyland Resort is an incredible vacation.

By the first week of January the decorations come down, and the crowds stay light, but Haunted Mansion and It's A Small World are usually scheduled to be refurbished, to removed the holiday overlay. If rides and shows are not important to you, this is the perfect time to go on a Disney Vacation.The dream of a Disney Vacation is one which is in the minds of children and adults alike.

If you go without a plan, although you'll still have a relatively good time, you'll find that you spent much more time, effort, and money, than you would have if you had planned for that dreamed of Discount Disney Vacation. The plan doesn't have to be elaborate, but you should do your "homework" and "know before you go."

Walt Disney World, Orlando, caters for kids large and small, mom, dad and everyone else you can think of. Booking a vacation at a Disney resort is very definitely fun for all the family.And give you memories that will last a lifetime. Apart from the usual rides, shows and well-loved Disney characters, there are plenty of attractions designed to entertain adults. Disney is pretty good at arranging activities so that mom or dad - or both - can get time off to have a look around, so why not spend some time in the France pavilion. Disney's designers have lovingly recreated the streets of Paris for you to enjoy a real romantic break.

You can shop in chic boutiques, offering very nearly all the designer goods you would find on the Champs Elyses. And when you're exhausted after a busy morning hitting the cash registers, you can chill out at a variety of authentic Parisian cafes and restaurants. Those of an adventurous turn of mind could explore the possibilities for excitement presented by one of Disney's Kilimanjaro Safaris.

Disney's very own small-scale safari park is populated by genuine animals for the African savannas - take a guided drive to see the giraffes and hippos, and you'll be transported in an instant to the endless grasslands of the Masai Mara. Both these activities, of course, offer possibilities for the whole family.

If you're an independent and outdoors type, you might like to consider the Fort Wilderness campground.You can take your own tent or RV, or stay in one of the campground's self-catering cabins. The campground is a miniature vacation destination all to itself - there are activities for kids, trails to hike, and fun sing-along campfire evenings, for you to get to know your fellow campers.

If you want to stay in more solid accommodation the first level is one of Disney World's 'Value Resorts.' The All-Star Music Resort, for example, is a great hotel and entertainment center.Like all of Disney's resorts of all levels; it is themed - the theme in question being, of course, music.

The Disney Corporation takes its theming very seriously The All-Star Music Resort allows you to enjoy music of all styles from country to jazz, and even has a pool shaped like a grand piano Like all the Disney World resorts, Value Resorts are within easy striking distance of all the central Disney World attractions, and transport there and back is completely taken care of.

The next level up are the Disney Moderate Resorts.Rooms are a little more spacious than those at the Value Resorts, and the range of facilities on offer is a little wider. The Caribbean Beach Resort, to take an example, has some room service - there's none in Value Resorts - and a variety of other small perks and features not available to Value guests.

If you want to sample the very best Disney has to offer, you should book a place at a Disney World Deluxe Resort. Deluxe guests get the best rooms, world-class restaurants, concierge and bell service and access to spas, health clubs and even a business center and wi-fi internet access for those who just can't bear to be away from their desk.
