Unfortunately they don’t take us to Downtown Disney. My uncle doesn’t want to go into the theme park, but would rather walk around. How would he get there? Is there a bus, Disney shuttle, or tram that will go there?

Being a former Disney World dining agent, most of the incoming calls I received were guests wanting to book for a character meal. So what’s the big fuss about them? Well, Disney World has made it to where guests can dine with and be entertained by the Disney characters. The characters are offered for breakfast, lunch and dinner at certain restaurants. The only bad part is the amount of effort it takes to get a reservation. Because of the popularity of the character restaurants, they tend to book up quite fast. At the time of this writing you can book your dining reservations up to 90 days out.

Located in the Castle in Magic Kingdom, Cinderella’s Royal Table is one of the most popular dining locations in Disney World. For breakfast and lunch, Cinderella and friends will meet and greet with you at your table. You get to dine while each character comes by your table and talks to you. They are available for pictures and autographs as well, so be sure to have an autograph book handy. Photo packages are also available. Some kids love to dress up when they dine with Cinderella. I mean what little girl doesn’t love Cinderella? For dinner, only the Fairy Godmother is available, so it’s a bit less of a character dining experience. The Fairy Godmother doesn’t meet and greet with you, she just kind of floats around. However, Cinderella is available in the lobby. Anyway you choose, this location is a great dining experience for the whole entire family.

Another great restaurant in Magic Kingdom is the Crystal Palace. Armed with Winnie the Pooh & Friends, this dining location is a great experience for the little ones. These adorable characters are available for breakfast, lunch and dinner. So, you get around the clock fun from the 100 Acre Wood friends. Pooh, Tigger, Piglett, and Eeyore walk around, meeting and greeting with the guests. Give hugs, take pictures and have a magical day!

Lilo and Stitch invite you for a character breakfast at ‘Ohana, located in the Polynesian Resort. Did you know that ohana means “family” in the Hawaiian culture? Lilo and Experiment 626, better known as Stitch, extend their hospitality to you and your entire family. The decor is inspired by the South Seas – wood carvings, stone tikis, and Polynesian motifs. The autographs, pictures, food and hospitality, makes you feel like you’re part of their intergalactic ‘ohana.

Join Mickey, Pluto and Chip & Dale at the Contemporary Resort for a fantastic breakfast or dinner at Chef Mickey’s! Minnie and Pluto may even make a surprise visit. You never know who might show up. This dining experience is certainly one you don’t want to miss, especially if you have little ones. The characters walk around, meeting and greeting each table in the restaurant. Chef Mickey’s even cooked up the 2004 Disney Magazine Reader’s Choice Award for best overall Walt Disney World Resort restaurant for kids! Join Mickey and his pals for an experience that you’ll remember for a lifetime.

At the Tusker House, located in Animal Kingdom, Donald, Daisy, Mickey and Goofy invite you to Donald’s Safari Breakfast. Only breakfast has the characters at this location. This is an African themed restaurant in the Harambe village. Kick back, have fun and don’t leave without a picture and autograph from one of the famous characters.

Goofy and friends, which may include a special guest appearance by Minnie Mouse, can all be seen at the Cape May Cafe. Located in the Beach Club Resort, this restaurant offers an all-you-can-eat breakfast and dinner buffet in a lively beach-themed environment. The characters are only offered during breakfast hours. Catch the characters in their nifty beach attire while they walk around to each table greeting guests.

Hollywood & Vine, located in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, is the restaurant to visit if you have little tikes. The character breakfast and lunch buffet includes: JoJo & Goliath from JoJo’s Circus and June and Leo from Disney’s Little Einsteins. Enjoy sing alongs from familiar Playhouse Disney tunes, dancing and playing. There’s no doubt that your little ones will have fun at this lively restaurant!

The character restaurant which is looked over most of the times is the Garden Grove, which is located in the Swan resort. Because most guests want to dine with the main Disney characters like Mickey and Cinderella, this dining location is sometimes forgotten. If you’re not able to dine at the more popular restaurants, you may want to look into the Garden Grove. On selected days, this restaurant gives you Rafiki & Timon and Mickey & Pluto. Not a bad combination right? Two Disney characters appear nightly and on Saturday and Sunday mornings. The Garden Grove has an unbelievable decor. So, if you find yourself out of choices for character dining, let the Garden Grove be an extra choice.

Gather for an enchanting dinner with Cinderella herself at 1900 Park Fare. Located at the Grand Floridian Resort, this dining location offers breakfast which features Mary Poppins, Alice in Wonderland, Mad Hatter, and WInnie the Pooh & friends. Dinner offers Cinderella, Prince Charming, Lady Tremaine, Anastasia, and Drizella from Cinderella III A Twist In Time. This a dining location that the whole family can enjoy!

Located in The Land in Epcot, the Garden Grill is a rotating restaurant which allows you to look out the windows and enjoy scenes fron the Living with the Land attraction. The characters at this dining location include Mickey, Chip & Dale, and Pluto. Don’t worry, the spinning restaurant won’t make you dizzy. You’ll be too distracted by the fun you’ll be having while dining with your family and the characters. Bring your camera and autograph book if you want physical memories that you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

The character dining locations in Disney world aren’t to be missed. There’s simply too much fun and excitement to go around. Make sure to grab your reservations in advance if you want to dine with Disney World’s most memorable characters.

Disneyland Paris – The Family Guide


$11.65

After his success of ‘Orlando: The Family Guide’, Juz has now written about another perfect family vacation destination – Disneyland Resort Paris. This has become a firm favourite with the author who is now a committed annual pass holder and shareholder of this European Disney Jewel. Rather than the usual books of Disneyland that also cover Paris and further a field, Juz concentrates only on the Disneyland Paris Resort and surrounding hotels. The book covers all the attractions and rides; each with a family age and fun rating. Juz also turns his attention on where the best places to eat are within Disney Resorts and how to meet your kid’s favourite characters at meal time rather than having to endure the scrums in the parks. ‘Disneyland Paris: The Family Guide’ helps you get the most from your vacation both in terms of fun and cash saving ideas. This book is designed to be a helpful companion and Tour guide to use before and during your vacation. >>Read More

The Official Album: Disneyland/Walt Disney World


$84.95

Though it’s neither as comprehensive nor as elegantly presented as The Music of Disney: A Legacy in Song, this compilation is an enjoyable sampler of music from Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Naturally, the music’s good for reliving memories of the parks, but when listened to at home, the best selections reveal previously unnoticed complexity. The oldest recordings, like “The Tiki Tiki Room” and “Grim Grinning Ghosts” (from the Haunted Mansion ride), are seamless show tunes that grapple inventively with the limitations of analog and mono. And the Main Street Electrical Parade theme song is a freaked-out Moog marathon that must be heard to be believed. This disc offers one of the best uses yet for your CD player’s “program” function–pick out the songs like you’d pick out a ride, and never wait in line! –John Sanchez >>Read More

Vacation Education destination Epcot

$14.99

Take your family on a virtual trip around the world. This book is more than a what to see and where to stay touring plan; it is the guide book that will bring the exhibits to life for you and your children. Take your family on a trip to Norway to see the Viking ship, but first study Viking history. Did you know that the Norwegian king was given the Gospel on a trip to England, which led to the end of the Viking era. But, what would the worlds greatest shipbuilders and sailors do for a living if they weren’t Vikings? They used their skills to build churches, some of which are still standing today. An example of a Stave church can be seen in the Norwegian pavilion. Take your family on a trip to Mexico and shop for your favorite pinata in the marketplace, but first study the history of this game. Spanish missionaries arrived to find the Mayans playing a game that they then used to help illustrate Biblical truths. Did you know? Try it! Get into hands on activities while making pretzels together (recipe included), while you study German foods, then try even more authentic recipes at the Biergarten. Moms: Use this book of unit studies to impress dad. It was researched and written by a Christian home schooling family and would be a great asset to any curriculum, with or without a visit to Epcot (although that would be a world class field trip to top off the school year). Dads: Buy this book for yourself and read it before you go. Impress your family with your expertise in every pavilion!

Princess Cruise Lines

Traditionally world cruises lines aimed their marketing efforts toward adults and seniors in particular, but today cruise lines have felt the need to cater to the vacation needs of families as well. Princess has organized special event dinners; where the kids eat together, pajama parties, tours of different areas of the ships, treasure hunts and they even have a teen center where kids can enjoy video games and movies. Princess has ramped up its kids attractions by offering many special events for kids, such as wildlife exploration which they will love. The age of the kids will determine which attractions they can participate in, but with the standard amenities, special events and attractions just for kids, they will have a great time on the cruise.

Disney Cruise Lines

Among world cruise lines who can be better equipped to provide for the vacation needs of families then Disney Cruise Lines. Besides offering discounts for kid’s fares, they have provided internet cafes, science workshops and a private lounge for the teens. Kids can even participate in a special Mouseketeer workshop while on the cruise. Disney also staffs the ship with trained and dedicated counselors to supervise the kids during their time away from Mom and Dad. Special exhibitions, tours and classes throughout the ship are made available to the kids as well. Parents are always able to communicate with the kids by cell phone or specially issued beepers provided by Disney when they board the ship.

Norwegian Cruise Lines

As luxury world cruise (http://www.amttravel.com/cruise-lines/luxury-world-cruises.html) lines get on board with the trend of providing more attractions for families and specifically more for kids, Norwegian is providing more for their younger passengers also. By providing a safe and supervised environment with trained counselors, kids aboard for the cruise can participate in many peer lead activities. With Norwegian’s freestyle cruising program, families can sit down and dine together at a time that is convenient for all of them; not just for the galley. Special events, exhibitions, movies, or arts and crafts classes are provided throughout the cruise itinerary. Teens can also enjoy special dances, pizza parties and contests that round out the activities.

Royal Caribbean

With world cruise lines desiring to attract more families to their cruise lines it was inevitable they would have to build more kid friendly activities into their ship’s infrastructure. Royal has gone all out with their ice skating rink, rock climbing wall and teen youth center. Educational opportunities for the kids are made available as well. For the younger kids supervised activities are made available that let the kids explore ocean science, animal exhibits and participate in organized water events together. Royal has provided the perfect itinerary for adults to relax while the kids also have fun.

Carnival

When upscale world cruise (http://www.amttravel.com/cruise-lines/world-cruises.html) lines provide reasonable fares like Carnival they will naturally attract more families seeking to take a cruise for their vacation. Carnival keeps it ear to the ground and provides the younger passengers with plenty of activities to ensure their stay will be full of excitement and energy. Offering the kids creative activities such as cooking classes, talent competitions or arts and crafts has proved successful in providing an enjoyable cruise for the kids. The cruise line also organizes events just for teens such as dances, pizza parties and special shore excursions. Special itineraries throughout the cruise help to make family vacation time fun and memorable.

When planning a holiday, all of us hope for it to be fun and exciting, and so a trip to the USA is not complete without visiting the Walt Disney World. You must have heard it from almost everyone who’s been there and haven’t stopped raving about the place and their affordable Walt Disney vacation. Just like a visit to China or Great Barrier Reef in Australia is a must do, this is also one such place.


Ever since we were small, we have enjoyed the make believe world where teapots could talk and bears licking on honey or maybe the little mermaid singing while sitting on the rock. Wouldn’t it be one amazing vacation to watch all of this in real and see how the theme park comes to life with the fireworks show and the Mickey Mouse parades?


You can choose from the range of Disney vacation club locations to pick up out a time slot perfect for you or stay in a private resort that is all yours. These are within driving distance from all the key attractions like The Magic Kingdom and Cinderella Castle and the Epcot Park. If you have had enough of the rides, you can relax at the entertainment centers showing Arabian Nights while you enjoy a lovely dinner at one of the restaurants. And for those who want to get away from it all for a while, they can take a drive down to any of the beaches, like the Cocoa beach, which is less than an hour’s drive away from Disney World, to refresh, rejuvenate and come back for more.


If you hate standing in long lines, waiting for your turn and then be told it will take another hour before your turn comes, you will require a Fastpass. This concept called Fastpass which is available for almost all the rides, and if you want to avail them you need to check the counters and timings mentioned on them. This is one way of cutting across long queues and getting to your ride directly. But you cannot pick up more than one Fastpass at a time, so read up before you pick a pass. Also make sure everyone in your group fits the bill, regarding height and health conditions to enjoy your affordable Disney vacation in all it’s glory.


While visiting the Magical Kingdom section of the park, you can make a bee line for the Big Thunder mountain railway. If you have your Fastpass, you will get a seat on the roller coaster ride right away. In case rockets are what hold your fantasy, head straight to the Tomorrowland and get lost in Buzz Lightyear’s space ranger spin where you shoot at the lightening bolts. And if you have been dreaming of Pirates of the Caribbean the whole time, its time to visit Captain Jack Sparrow’s Pirate class for a game of sword fight or lessons in Pirate’s language. And when you spot the boat ride next door, that is where the Jungle cruise starts.

Vacation Education destination Epcot

$14.99

Take your family on a virtual trip around the world. This book is more than a what to see and where to stay touring plan; it is the guide book that will bring the exhibits to life for you and your children. Take your family on a trip to Norway to see the Viking ship, but first study Viking history. Did you know that the Norwegian king was given the Gospel on a trip to England, which led to the end of the Viking era. But, what would the worlds greatest shipbuilders and sailors do for a living if they weren’t Vikings? They used their skills to build churches, some of which are still standing today. An example of a Stave church can be seen in the Norwegian pavilion. Take your family on a trip to Mexico and shop for your favorite pinata in the marketplace, but first study the history of this game. Spanish missionaries arrived to find the Mayans playing a game that they then used to help illustrate Biblical truths. Did you know? Try it! Get into hands on activities while making pretzels together (recipe included), while you study German foods, then try even more authentic recipes at the Biergarten. Moms: Use this book of unit studies to impress dad. It was researched and written by a Christian home schooling family and would be a great asset to any curriculum, with or without a visit to Epcot (although that would be a world class field trip to top off the school year). Dads: Buy this book for yourself and read it before you go. Impress your family with your expertise in every pavilion! Then, you can pass the book on to the kids when you get home from your vacation, so they can do the hundreds of activities in this guide book, and learn even more. Not only will they learn more, the vacation experience will be extended throughout the year, as you say, remember when we saw this?… let’s learn more about that. >>Read More

Building A Better Mouse: The Story Of The Electronic Imagineers Who Designed Epcot


$19.95

On October 1, 1982, The Walt Disney Company opened its EPCOT Center to the world, heralding changes that would take the Disney property in Florida from a mere theme park to a world-class resort destination. Authors Steve Alcorn and David Green were there, as employees of Disney’s WED Imagineering. “Building a Better Mouse” tells the tale of the “hundreds of mostly young, mostly bright and all embarrassingly idealistic people” who worked on Epcot, and gives a unique insider’s perspective on what it was like to be in the trenches as a Disney Imagineer in the early 1980s, from pixie dusting – when new employees are indoctrinated into all things Disney – through the craziness of the engineering design process, right up until the last frantic dash to opening day. It is a breathtaking, breezy, E-ticket ride of a book, required reading for both hard-core Disneyphiles and people interested in the business side of themed entertainment. >>Read More
