A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR

Our Ticket agent has GREAT PRICES on tickets to Walt Disney
World and other Florida attractions!

"I thought I knew all the tips for saving money at WDW, even
being a member of the Magic Kingdom Club for over 15 years,
but just learning about [your ticket agent] saved our family
over $300!!! Thanks." Janet Handy, Bel Air, MD

"Plenty of roadside outfits in Orlando promise discounted
tickets, but most of them really want to rope you into a
time-share sales pitch in exchange for vouchers - accept at
your own risk. [Affordable Disney's ticket agent], though,
is legit." The New York Post, November 16, 2004.

FORGET paying too much for your Disney tickets! Keep that
extra money in YOUR pocket! Join our Disney family today.

NEWS FROM AROUND THE "WORLD"

Discount airline Jetsgo ceased operations abruptly Friday,
stranding 17,000 passengers. "Jetsgo, Canada's third-largest
carrier, was hobbled by rising jet fuel prices. It also is
under investigation by Canadian regulators. In announcing
its shutdown, the company cited "competitive pressure in the
Canadian airline industry." It filed for protection from
creditors in Quebec Superior Court and will try to
reorganize." (Source: Orlando Sentinel, 03/12/05) For the

"Dear John, I just wanted to write you a short note about
the travel agent that works with you. I have read several
letters sent to you by "satisfied customers", and this is
definitely another one. She is someone who goes above &
beyond "the call of duty". Beth is a great communicator &
works very hard to get everyone the best deals she can get.
I know this from personal experience. She always takes the
time to answer any questions (from the most common to the
bizarre). Beth is very busy, but treats each client like
they are her one & only.

My family & I (total of 7) recently visited WDW. We were
staying at a condo that I was able to get through a friend
of mine & three nights at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Beth
helped me with just about everything except the condo. Two
days before we were to leave for Florida, I called the condo
to get their exact address so I could print out a map from
the airport. Well, to my surprise, the condo was hit by the
hurricane & no one called me to tell me that my reservations
were cancelled. Basically, I had seven people arriving in FL
in less than two days & no where to go.

I called Beth in a panic. She dropped everything to help me
find the best deal she could. She was wonderful! Fortunately
I was able to get another condo (which I was originally told
I couldn't) & everything worked out. She spent a couple of
hours working on this for me, booked me a place, & then I
needed to cancel it. Needless to say I felt terrible doing
that to her, but my condo was paid for. She even cancelled
the reservations for me with a smile in her voice.

I can't express enough what a wonderful person Beth is. She
is very professional, but personable as well. Kudos to you
Beth! I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you for
recommending her to me through your newsletter. I hope this
note helps someone else choose to do the same. Thanks
Again!"
