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 the special 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.
