Best Kept Secret…

Disney has so many things to offer guests that to try to list them all would fill a book. Oh, wait… there are several books filled with information on how to enjoy Disney. Several Travel and Tourist Guides have been written on how to enjoy Disney with tips and insights. We’ve seen them in the hands of guests many times as we visit the parks. Personally,  have been fortunate that we have learned and experienced most of our Disney Memories all on our own… each new experience adding to the excitement of discovery. Several of the  Disney entries on my blog touch on the different Disney Hotels… all having their own unique flavor, style, and heritage that takes you to another place… From the Wilderness Lodge that not only gives you the flavor of Old Faithful Lodge in Yellowstone… but refines and magnifies the experience on a Grand Scale! Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge gives you all the flavors of Africa. The Grand Hall, the decor, the sights & sounds, artifacts, heritage & customs, and the African animals that are just outside your room window on the savanna… well… takes you to another place by immersing you on a total sensory experience. Disney has 20 Resort Complexes that fit everyone’s desires or taste… totaling around 25,800 rooms in all. They are not just rooms, but a total “themed” experience. Each has it own unique flavor. One of our favorites, aside from the two Lodges, is Port Orleans Riverside… it has the flavor of old plantation mansions along a scenic river. Magnolia trees, weeping willows, gardens, gazebos, flowers, and vine covered foot bridges…simply beautiful. Just to refresh your memory, some of the most memorable Disney Resorts also include the Contemporary, Polynesian, Floridian, Coronado Springs, Saratoga Springs, Caribbean Beach, Beach & Yacht Resorts, Boardwalk, Key West, and the Fort Wilderness Campground… just to mention a few. Than there’s all the benefits of staying with Disney… aside from the themed resorts… there’s special dinning programs or appreciation programs for  Disney Resort Guests, free transportation to Disney attractions (so there’s no need to drive and pay parking fees), and the relief of being right on Disney property close to all the action. After a long day or for a short mid day break, it’s super easy to return to your resort without the hassles of getting to your car and driving. Another plus is free package handling to your resort… don’t worry about buying what you want and having to carrying it around all day and back to your resort… there’s free package delivery to your resort for easy pickup later at your convenience.

Oh… the Best Kept Secret? … That’s Disney’s Vacation Club. It’s kinda like Disney’s version of a time-share in how the basics work… but that’s where the similarities end. Kinda like comparing a nice 20 ft cabin cruiser to a 100 foot yacht… so much more in benefits and amenities… plus there’s the Disney Magic that makes it all the more special. So, if you get the time to check out all the advantages of Disney Vacation Club Membership… check it out. Like most things, it may not be for everyone… but if it’s a good fit for your families future vacation needs… you may find a Diamond in the field of ruby’s… all nice, but one’s certainly a cut above. Must be a wonderful opportunity for many families wanting years of Disney Magical Vacations with a wide selection of Wonderful Disney Themed Resorts… with all the Disney Magic. So why do I say “must be”? Well, in the sluggish  economy of the past several years everyone is looking closely for real valve… Disney keeps building more and more huge Vacation Club Resorts to accommodate new members… Guess that says something positive!  Offers change from time to time… but one of the offers that was being made was a package of Disney Fast Passes… to compensate you for your valuable vacation time… they would give your family a package of Fast Passes for one park’s most popular attractions… so the time you invest in seeing the Vacation Club Program Benefits to you and your family… you get that time back in time savings in the park with the fast passes. So rather than spending your time waiting in lines… see a great vacation program that just may bring years of Disney Magic & Memories for the whole family… than use the fast passes to almost walk right onto favorite attractions. Just see any Vacation Club Kiosk for details… and Let the Memories Begin!
