Hi Everyone!

Dread the hassle of booking your own vacation? Not sure you will get the best possible price?

Beth, our full service Florida travel agent, handles all of our members' reservations. She is familiar with all of our deals and she will continue to monitor your reservations to make sure you are getting the best possible deal. If she finds a better deal, she will switch your reservation to the new deal without any intervention from you! Now that's peace of mind! Click here to learn more about why so many Disney vacationers have become Affordable Disney members over the years.

REMEMBER: If you want to visit Walt Disney World when there is no deal for the general public, you will need to follow the discount strategies that are revealed in our online book, "Secrets To An Affordable Walt Disney World® Vacation," to make your vacation affordable.

Now on with the show...

DISNEY CRUISE LINE NEW 2012 ITINERARIES AVAILABLE FOR BOOKING TODAY!

Beth, our travel agent, writes: "I have a list of people waiting for 2012 space and will be booking today starting at 7:00 AM. Anyone that wants to be added to th list should email full legal names, dates of birth, mailing address, and the date and itinerary that they’re after (as well as the cabin type). I’ll do my best and will email confirmations of the space being held as soon as I get everyone accommodated.

The lowest pricing that will ever be available for these sailings is likely to be first thing in the morning the day the space comes out - especially for the ones that will be big sellers (like Hawaii), so it’s strongly suggested to get something on hold to at least see the pricing. You can always not accept the offer or cancel it later on."

See article below for 2012 itineraries.

LET US PRAY...

As many of you know, I am an author of Catholic prayer books. One of the best ways to know Jesus more intimately and show our love for Him is through prayer. Prayer keeps us focused on the spiritual life and opens a channel for grace so He can make His presence known to us.

For those who have questions or wish to share their thoughts with me, send your comments to: johngross@affordabledisney.com. Please put "Let us pray" in the subject line so I won't mistake you for spam.

For help in forming your prayer life, see my prayer books and other resources below that you can access for FREE. God bless. +

"To me, today at age 61, all prayer by the humble or highly placed has one thing in common: supplication for strength and inspiration to carry on the best impulses which should bind us together for a better world. Without such inspiration we would rapidly deteriorate and finally perish." Walt Disney (Source: startedbyamouse.com)
