The other 3 are taking their own car because they have a baby. From experience or just plain knowledge could youvplease tell me which would be cheaper or smarter to rent. And keep in mind how heavy the luggage will be too.
( any tips for disney world would be great.)


Florida camping trip? Where is a good place to go?

Posted: June 14th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Camp Sites | Tags: , , , , , , , , , | 7 Comments »

We stayed on Daytona Beach last year and went to the amusement parks. My son (7) preferred staying on the beach and playing and going up and down quiet beaches looking for shells. We managed to get him to go to Sea World. The next three days were spent on the beach at his begging. This year he wants to go camping. We want Florida. Is there any place in Florida where we can plop a tent, go fishing etc.? Price isn’t an issue since it’s obviously going to be cheaper than a Disney Vacation.



How about a nice vacation?

If you are seriously considering taking one of those nice holidays then why not look into where and when? The thing is, it is has become very expensive to actually go away at the moment simply because the recession is hitting everyone rather hard. Where is the best place to visit if you have been saving for a long time?

All inclusives can sometimes be nice but the often lead to having to hang around with people you really do not want to. A hotel can be nice but a villa could be the way forward as it is yours for the trip. If the weather turns nasty at a villa there are often more things to do than you think, many come with pool tables, dart boards and various other things.


If you are thinking about going to Disney World or somewhere like that a hotel could be a cool place to to because they are so good. The hotels here are actually based purely on what Disney want so a lot of the time they will base it on something they feel the guests will love.if you are staying near a tourist site in Europe it could benefit you rather than annoy you. Although Paris can be very busy it is surprising to see just how many nice hotels are tucked away within the busy city, the one I stayed in was actually a very nice play to holiday in simply because it was right in the centre of Paris but also down a quiet road where you could never hear any traffic whatsoever.

If you are planning on going further then it is going to cost you lot more but then again your money is paying for a place that is very nice. Of course going to Africa on a safari is going to cost you a lot of money but it is worth the money to see the animals in the wild.

Take your vacation seriously this year and read a few travel blogs for ideas on a place that works for you.


Camping At Disney World

Posted: September 30th, 2009 | Author: | Filed under: Camp Sites | Tags: , , , , , | 219 Comments »

Did you know that Disney World offers campgrounds for you and your children? You can even bring your dog along on your Disney vacation. If you want to go camping, the Fort Wilderness Resort at Disney World in Florida might be the perfect vacation spot for you. The campground offers all amenities.

Features

Camping at Disney allows you to enjoy an authentic camping experience with none of the inconveniences. All Fort Wilderness campsites include water and electricity. Selected sites offer sewage services as well, and you can access the Internet or house your pet for an additional fee. The campsite is set on a 700 acre forest filled with pine and cypress trees, and certain animals such as rabbits and deer are free to roam the campgrounds. However, you are in no danger from animals such as wolves or bears, and Disney staff stays onsite to assist campers with emergencies.

Activities

Disney Fort Wilderness offers plenty for the entire family to do during the camping experience. You can go hiking on a forest trail or fish and swim in one of the many water canals on the campgrounds. You can also take your kids on a horse and wagon ride or to the archery range. In addition, every evening, you can watch a Disney movie under the stars in an outdoor arena.


You can do all this without worrying about where you are going to go to the bathroom or take showers. While camping at Disney, you have full access to private bathrooms and shower stalls and can even do your laundry if you so desire.

Transportation To Theme Parks

If you get tired of camping, Disney offers complimentary transportation for resort guests to each of its theme parks. There are six parks accessible by bus: the Animal Kingdom, Epcot Center, Hollywood Studios, Downtown Disney, and the Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach Water Parks. Those should keep the kids (and adults) happily entertained.

Golfing

You can also visit two golf courses and other Disney World Resort Hotels. Several of the parks are also accessible via walking trails, and if you want to see the Magic Kingdom, you can take a boat ride to get there.

Price

Best of all, camping at Disney is not expensive. You can rent a campsite for as little as $43 a night, depending upon your needs. Granted, that a bit more than camping in the backyard or a national forest, but you’re next door to the Disney experience when you are their guests.

Disney Fort Wilderness charges a nominal fee for pet privileges as well as for high-speed Internet access. With so much to do, however, you probably won’t have time for the Internet. In fact, I highly recommend staying disconnected during your visit.  Camping at Disney is truly an opportunity for the whole family to get away from their regular routines and just relax.

Other Options In The Area

If Fort Wilderness isn’t available during your vacation, or if you would like a less costly option, there are numerous other campground options in the area.  Many of them also provide free transportation to and from the theme parks.
