NEW THIS WEEK

WALT DISNEY WORLD

Another sweep added this week to win a Disney / Florida vacation! That makes 50 active sweepstakes and contests to win a Walt Disney World / Florida / Disneyland / Southern California vacation!

One of our travel resources is allowing you to give away 3 FREE dining certificates per day to friends, family, loved ones - anyone - until Christmas! These certificates are redeemable at 9,000 restaurants across the USA, including restaurants outside Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL and outside Disneyland in Anaheim, CA.

2009 Walt Disney World Room Discount for Everyone!
Value resorts from $49; moderates from $94.

2009 Walt Disney World Vacation Package for Everyone! Dining options may be added.

-------------------------------

Stop the Presses! How about a vacation package that includes 3 meals and 2 snacks per day, deluxe resorts, unlimited use of recreation activities, spa treatment, tours, fireworks cruise, Cirque du Soleil, turndown service and more? Plus! You get 25% off EVERYTHING! Beth, our travel agent, explains:

"What's particularly neat about this offer is that you get 25% off EVERYTHING, even adding the no expiration option to your tickets. So let's say you do 10-day hoppers with water parks and no expiration, but you're only staying 4 nights.... You'd have gotten hopping, water parks AND the no expiration part for 25% off the usual cost of adding those things and still have the unused days and water park visits left on your tickets for a return trip!

This is an especially great offer for adults traveling alone or families with older children because of the unlimited tours (most of which have minimum age requirements) and unlimited recreation. In fact, I see this as a great get-away for those that just want to do a long, relaxing weekend. You can hang out by the pool, go shopping, do a little hotel hopping, eat wonderful meals, and do all the fun stuff you never had the time (or the budget) for before."

Disney framed stock certificates are works of art. They feature Walt Disney and the Disney characters. Unlike stock brokers that require you to purchase several shares of stock, OneShare sells one share of stock and mails you the certificate. You can frame the stock certificate yourself or OneShare will frame if for you at a nominal cost. Click here.
