Disney Travel Tips: What to Know Before You Go

Author: Jamie Jefferson

Article:
It's hard to imagine a more exciting, magical, and eagerly
anticipated vacation than a Disney theme park adventure.

And because the prospect of the trip is so exciting, the
planning process can be half the fun. Here's how to get started
planning the trip of a lifetime - for a lot less than you might
think.

Order Your Free Disney DVD One of the first things you'll want
to do is take advantage of the free Disney Parks Vacation
Planning DVD. This official Disney DVD takes you on a complete
tour of both resorts. Go inside the parks and get a bird's eye
view of the Disney complexes in both Florida and Southern
California. Preview the water and roller-coaster rides and get
tips on where to go and what to do. The DVD also features
planning guides, information on affordable places to stay,
things to do, and upcoming special events. You can order it on
the official Disney Parks website. (Simply do a Google search
for "Free Disney Vacation Planning DVD.")

Hotel Deals The second thing on your list will be to find the
best Disneyland and Disneyworld hotel deals.

Keep in mind that you'll pay lower prices on both lodging and
park tickets if you book your trip during Disney's off season,
which runs from October through April.

Disney resorts have a number of on-site hotels, which bring lots
of advantages, including discounted ticket prices and, of
course, convenience. But the experience of staying in a resort
hotel comes with a price: as much as triple the cost of other
hotels.

If cost is the foremost consideration in planning your Disney
vacation, begin an online search for hotels near the resort
instead. Many of these neighboring hotels offer comfortable,
clean lodging and may provide a complimentary shuttle service to
the resort.

Accommodations range from value-priced to deluxe, with amenities
to match. Make a list of the features that are most important to
you and refer to them when deciding on a hotel. If you don't
mind parking your car and walking instead of using the valet, or
if you don't mind limited room service, then you don't need to
pay more for a deluxe hotel stay.

The distances to and from the park can differ, so be sure to ask
about the location of the hotel in relation to the park, as well
as whether the hotel offers complimentary transportation, such
as shuttle bus or monorail service. There are lots of choices
and you can find many different package deals depending on your
budget and preferences. The Internet has made it so easy to
compare Disney area hotels (and their amenities) at a glance.

Saving on Meals Disney does not allow you to bring food into the
park. But you can save money by having breakfast before entering
the park and eating dinner after you leave. Lunch prices tend to
be quite a bit lower than dinner prices at the restaurants
inside the park, so you can experience the magic of a meal in
the park for less.

You will be permitted to bring in bottled water, which is much
less expensive than buying sodas and bottled water inside the
park.

More Disney Travel Tips - Some hotels and travel agents offer
discounts to nurses, teachers and government workers, as well as
AAA, AARP and Entertainment Book members. - Make sure to
purchase your tickets before you get to the park, so you don't
have to stand in line when you get there. - Read your tickets
and passes and make sure you understand what you are paying for.
Remember, too, that some rides have certain height requirements
for children. - Walking the parks may be fine for the grown-ups,
but you may want to either bring your own stroller or rent one
for your child. - If you have a child who is too small for a
particular ride, take advantage of the Disney "Baby Swap"
option. All you need to do is tell the attendant. When you reach
the front of the line, one parent will be able to ride while the
other parent holds the child. When the ride is over, you switch.
That way, neither parent has to sit out. - The weather can be
unpredictable so don't be caught off-guard. Make sure to bring
an umbrella, ponchos and some cool weather clothing. Plan ahead
for rainy days by having a list of indoor activities you want to
do in the area, as well, just in case of an extended downpour.

Though a Disney vacation may seem overwhelming during the
planning stage, rest assured that a little bit of planning now
will make for a more relaxed, memorable - even magical -
vacation that you and your children will remember for a long
time to come.

Disney Movie High School Musical 2 Debute this Friday

Author: Jeffrey Lumpkin

Article:
I am an adult; admittedly not a "teenager" or "tweener". Still
it is hard to avoid all of the hype concerning the debut of the
new Disney movie "High School Musical 2" this Friday on the
Disney channel. When the original High School Musical came out
early last year, it became a hit movie within the industry. Not
many people, beforehand, could have predicted the influence that
this movie had all across the United States. Unlike most movies
which when re-aired on television have their Neilson ratings
diminish over time, it was not the case with "High School
Musical." The ratings actually grew with each airing on the
Disney channel. Indeed, just like the "Titanic" movie phenomenon
in the late 1990's when teen aged kids, (girls especially)
flocked to the theater to see Leonardo DiCaprio repeatedly, many
kids have watched "High School Musical" again and again. Disney
even began airing the movie with the song lyrics appearing on
the screen so viewers could sing along to the music. It also
allowed the two lead actors of the movie, (Zac Efron and Vanessa
Hudgens, pictured above) to become idols to adolescent fans all
over America. Indeed Efron, appeared in another hit musical this
summer "Hairspray", and I am sure that many 14-18 year old girls
went to the movie just to see Mr. Efron. Another actress in the
movie, Ashley Tisdale, (who is known for her appearance in the
Disney television show "The Suite Life of Zach and Cody")
released her debut solo album. The "High School Musical" CD
grossed the most sales of any album released all of last year in
this country. Disney broke the bank with sales of clothing
merchandise, videos, toys, and dolls bought by "tweener" fans of
the movie. High School music programs all across the United
States produced theatrical performances of this movie. Who would
have "thunk it", as the saying goes?

Actually with the power, clout, and influence that the Disney
network has, especially with kids under 14; perhaps it is not so
surprising that the "High School Musical" phenomenon spread like
a virus across this country. Disney is known for producing
movies that are suitable for kids. Parents do not have to worry
about their children watching anything on the network that would
prove to be embarrassing; graphic language, even the hint of
sex, racy dialogue, violence, etc., are strictly off limits,
naturally by the network. The original "High School Musical"
theme, which merged the influences of music, sports, dancing,
and a g-rated love story between two high school kids, had a
very important message which everyone can relate to. This
message was that if you have a dream in life, do not allow
anything to prevent you from striving to achieve those dreams.
Zac Efron's character was a star basketball player for his
school's team. His father was the team coach and demanding of
his son in his athletic pursuits. But Efron's character also
yearned to sing, and to be in the high school's annual musical
production. The young man was even willing to place his position
as a character in the musical production ahead of his role on
the basketball team; much to the chagrin of his father/coach. I
believe the message was that a person, (a 16 year old high
school student in this case) has to have as much believe in
himself, (or herself) and be willing to follow his, (or her)
dreams); without being swayed or influenced selfishly by others.

As I stated above, it was interesting to note how the original
"High School Musical" movie had such an influence, even amongst
high school students in this country. In an era in which many
high school kids throughout this decade have been known to be
fans of rap and hip-hop music, (along with their profane lyrics
and degradation of females), the USA Today newspaper several
weeks ago ran a front page story about the Disney musical/movie.
This article discussed the positive influence that the movie had
generated in America, and how the original CD released last year
had dwarfed the sales of all other rap and similar music of that
genre. Indeed rap albums released during the year 2006 had
dropped substantially as many high school aged kids chose to
invest their money in an album from a Disney movie. I hope that
I am not naive in believing that perhaps teen aged kids are
sending a message to the "50-Cent's" of the world. The message
is that many 12-17 year old adolescents are suddenly being
turned off by X-rated rap, foul-mouthed lyrics, and words to
music that portray women as sexual objects; and for these women
to be used and abused by men.

For that I say: Go "High School Musical"!! Even as an adult, I
will probably have my television tuned to the Disney Channel
this Friday at 8 pm. - when the "High School Musical 2" movie
debuts. I'd watch that anytime over a rap concert in which the
featured artist spews every swear word known to mankind when
performing his/her songs!
