Disney vacations
The least crowded
time to visit is from Labor Day to Thanksgiving and from the week
after President's Day (mid-February) to the start of Spring Break
(mid-March).
You
can definitely make the most of your vacation by staying at one of
the Disney World hotels. If
you do, you will enjoy special benefits such as Magic Hours, discounts
at six Disney
World golf courses, and Walt Disney World quality and service.
But if you choose to stay at one of the many hotels
near Disney World, you can still visit all of the Disney properties
to enjoy the atmosphere, have a meal, or shop. You may be charged
for parking, but you can get validated for up to one hour of parking
for each $10 you spend while you're there.
Some
of the lesser known deluxe priced resorts include
Walt Disney's
Beach
Club, BoardWalk
Inn , Contemporary
and the Yacht
Club hotels.
Disney
sells theme park tickets on their website, but you can not print the
tickets, meaning you must order early and have the tickets mailed
to you. You can also buy tickets through
your local auto club, Disney Store or through a school or work activities
office. Many offsite hotels also sell Disney passports at the front
desk.
I suggest researching
Disney ticket prices in advance,
and buy your pass before you get to the park. No sense wasting the
first hour waiting in line at the ticket booth.
