Hi Everyone!

"Hi John,
I just wanted to drop you a line to tell you that your site
has saved us over 250.00 on a mini van rental. We just came
back from Disney last week and I couldn't believe how much
your website can save. We are planning another trip to
Orlando in October and definitely checking your site
weekly..... Thanks for your help."
Thanks again, Colleen, for the great feedback! Readers can
check out the great rates on rental cars here.

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"
"Walt Disney Co. is searching "all over Asia" for another
theme-park location, but don't look for anything to open
this decade, Jay Rasulo, president of Walt Disney Parks &
Resorts, said Friday.
In the most sweeping statement yet on his vision of overseas
expansion, Rasulo said in an interview that even South Korea
might one day see a Disney park, and he did not rule out
India [yes, Disney just denied any interest in building a
park in India!], along with mainland China." (Source:
Orlando Sentinel. 05/07/05) For the rest of the story, click here.

"Bankrupted by poor management, battered by hurricanes and
outpaced by more modern theme parks, Florida's historic
Marineland attraction is undergoing a multimillion-dollar
transformation...
Visitors will be able to swim with its dolphins, snorkel in
its oceanariums and make educational forays into rich
surroundings that include oak hammocks, marshes, estuaries,
rivers and the ocean." (Source: Orlando Sentinel. 05/09/05)

"In our group we will have one that will be 7 1/2 months
pregnant, one 86 yr. old with limited vision, one 3 year old
and 4 other adults. I know we need to plan days or 1/2 days
for 3 to rest so I'm very confused on how I need to purchase
tickets and if it is worthwhile to buy meal packages for at
least two meals a day. Just how much should we push to do?
We would like to go to Circus de soleil, would a three year
old enjoy it and how long are the performances and which
performance would you recommend?"
I don't buy meal packages. I would spend too much time
waiting to eat at a restaurant. However, Disney's meal plan
is getting better and if you have the time and choose
wisely, you can save money. We cover that topic in the book.
With an 86-year old you need to take a day off every other
day and return to your hotel during the day. Our book
includes customized tours of the parks so you know which
rides and attractions to skip.
Cirque du Soleil's La Nuba is about two hours long. A 3-year
old may stay a wake if he hasn't been walking through the
parks all day. Go to the cheapest performance on your off
day. See book for details.
