Totally Disney – Totally Fun!

August 31st, 2011

This is the year– the year you take the kids to Disney World for an Orlando vacation. Why not make it more exciting–and easier on you, the vacation planner–by staying at a Disney hotel in Orlando? Disney World goes all out to please its guests, including offering a three-tiered lodging system designed to fit any family’s budget.

Deluxe Villas and Resorts

The highest tier is the “deluxe.” Deluxe villas and resort hotels feature larger rooms (some with kitchens or kitchenettes), full service restaurants with 24-hour room service, spas and salons,

themed pools, playgrounds and game rooms. Paid valet parking is available. For a fee (and with advanced registration) you can take advantage of supervised programs for children 3-12, which allow mom and dad to enjoy a date night, or just some quiet time. Each hotel is organized around a theme. Choose from Animal Kingdom, Boardwalk, the Wilderness Lodge, the Polynesian Resort, and others.

Moderate Hotels

Moderate hotels differ from the deluxe in several areas. You don’t have a spa, salon, or valet parking, and the rooms tend to be smaller. Depending on the hotel you choose, you may have access to childcare programs or a full-service restaurant, so choose accordingly. Moderate hotels are also theme based. You can stay in a cabin at Fort Wilderness, enjoy the beach at Coronado Springs, or immerse yourself in Creole culture in Port Orleans–among other options.

Value Resorts

These are the least expensive of the Disney hotels, and eminently affordable. Each features a food court, pools and game rooms, while the All-Star Music Resort provides suites which can accommodate up to six people–a plus when families with more than two children don’t want to pay for two rooms. There are five large value hotels: the All-Star Music, All-Star Movie, All-Star Sports, Art of Animation and Pop Century resorts.

Why Go Disney?

No matter which Disney hotel in Orlando you choose, you’ll receive the same great service. You’ll enjoy complimentary shuttle service to and from the airport and the parks. Souvenir purchases can be conveniently delivered to your room, your dining plan takes the guesswork out of meals and, with your resort id, and you’re entitled to extended hours at selected parks. Disney staff is renowned for their friendly, helpful, expert customer service; you’ll feel pampered and cared for throughout your stay. Make your Orlando vacation a dream come true and go Disney all the way!

Travel For The Disabled Can Mean That You Will Get The Level Of Care You Will Need

March 21st, 2010

Many people with disabilities choose not to travel away from places they know as they are worried they will not be catered for, or may have had a bad experience years ago that has meant they have not wanted to try again. Views towards those with disabilities have changed and travel for the disabled means that you can enjoy the holiday as much as everyone else.

With disabled travel you are able to get a service that will take you from your own door to the door of your hotel which is useful, especially to know all of this is planed out for you in advance. This will mean that the travel companies are aware of any special equipment you need to take with you so that you can relax about having all you need.

Wheelchair users constantly find that they cannot access some areas when they are on vacation. Things have gotten much better though so that you can travel to where ever you have always wanted to, anywhere in the world and be able to find activities that will meet your needs and have ramps or lifts so that you are able to join in with the fun and not have to wait on more level ground.

If you want to travel alone you are able to now travel with a disability. You will be able to make sure in advance that everything is there for you so that once your holiday begins you can enjoy it as you should be able to. In other countries although you may be worries that that language barrier will mean your needs are not catered for, the people you choose to book with will make sure that you are aware of the location of facilities and a point of contact in case you need something translating.

Package holidays with the disabled in mind mean that you are still able to make the savings that others do every day. You will have everything planned in advance for you, and you will only have the worry then of what clothes you want to take. When flying you should know that wheelchair users do not have to take less luggage because they are worried about being charged for going over the luggage weight limit, as equipment such as his is not taken into account.

You will then be taken via a taxi to the place where you are staying and from there the staff will take over to ensure your every need is met.

A room can be requested at ground level if you feel safer, you will find that many resorts put people with disabilities there as standard. The room that you are given will have everything you need at a level you can reach and bathing and toilet facilities will be big enough to fit your chair and have a seated shower or similar function.

You can also travel with peace of mind if you have medical needs, because even if there is no on site doctor you can request that you are located somewhere that is near to a hospital should you need any additional care, or run out of medication, should you need it.

Awesome Vacations For Families

March 18th, 2010

It can be very hard to find a vacation that suits every single member of a family but there do seem to be some out there that can be suited for everyone.

Disney

Disney had to be on the top of this list and the only reason it isnt the only thing on the entire list is because price has a lot to do with it and it can be very expensive indeed. I have to say that I have been to many of the parks across the world and the destination I would recommend is the one in Orlando, Florida and this is because it has the most on offer to a family. The thing is, you have the four main parks which are massive and then on top of all of this you have the two big water parks with loads of other activities on top of it all too!.

Villa
A villa is a great choice for a family because it is private and you can be as loud as you want which means plenty of pool time volleyball!. You can sit around and do nothing with the kids and just mess around with them for a couple of weeks.

Active holidays
There are a lot of parents out there that wouldnt be thinking on taking their kids on one of those walking holidays it is a really good way to spend time with the family. it allows you and your children to get to see things you would not usually be able to se.

 

I would at least consider this option and ask your kids if they would be interested in something like Costa Rica holidays.

So do not let yourself simply decided on the vacation you are going to take, consult the entire family before you jet off to another location.
