Hi Everyone!

Effective October 1, 2011, we will no longer be sending our newsletter, The Disney News, by email. We will be posting our updates on our Blog. Click here to read our blog online or to subscribe.

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!

Don't let cash on hand keep you from booking your Disney vacation! You can book now with a small down payment and pay the balance later!

* For room-only reservations, you pay the first night plus tax within seven days of reserving the room. The balance is due on arrival and you can cancel without penalty through six days prior to arrival.

* For package reservations (room and tickets with optional dining) you put $200 down within seven days of reserving the space, and that’s fully refundable through 45 days prior to arrival when the balance is due - after which time there are penalties for canceling as well as change and/or document re-issue fees.

* Plus! When you have Beth, our travel agent, book your vacation, she'll process your payments for you!

Click here to save BIG on all your Disney and non-Disney vacations!

"Thanks for all of the great information and your wonderful travel agent, Beth. She already helped us save $800.00. I am so happy!" (Sarah Meyer, member)

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.
