Walt Disney World, in Orlando, Florida, is one of the most visited tourist sites in the world. Tons of people travel thousands of miles to stop and enjoy their four great theme parks. But to see everything in one trip can be very difficult. In this article we will try to cover some Disney World Travel Tips that can help your Disney experience. The first Disney World Travel Tip is to plan ahead of time. Give yourself plenty of time to find tickets and airfare. Having extra time means you can shop around for the best deal. Some sites offer promotional packages and you can cash in on some savings if you find them. You can also save money if you decide to go during the off season. If you are available in the spring and fall you should be able to find a cheaper package. You can also stay in Disneys value resort to save money. These resorts are very nice and great for kids. If you are looking for theme park tickets online auctions can be good place to look. Plans change so people will sell their unused tickets online at a discounted price. Buying your tickets before getting to Disney World will also eliminate standing in line to purchase tickets. With your tickets in hand you can skip the ticket booth and proceed to enter the parks. Once you know when you are going to Disney you will also want to start making reservations for dinner. I highly recommend their dinning plan. On our last trip we had reservation for two character dining. The kids loved it. If you have little kids be sure to look into the character dining. Do not wait; you will need to make reservations early.

Air travel can be a lot of fun, but also it can be very tiring. A common thing people experience after air travel is this phenomenon called jet lag. Jet lag is where your body and mind feels tired and out of sync with the local time zone. One of the causes of jet lag happens when you cross through various time zones and because of that your bodys time clock is not adjusted to the new time zone yet. So for example when you reach to your destination overseas to a new time zone, day time there maybe your late night of your home country, so your body may feel tired because it still thinks it is night time. Having massive jet lag is not fun and actually may ruin your trip if it is not attended to properly. Here are some quick and effective air travel tips to beat jet lag. Tip #1: Drink lots of water and avoid alcohol and caffeine on the plane While on the plane you may be tempted with all the wide range of alcoholic and caffeinated drinks available, but do not give in on them! Reason is that these drinks will cause dehydration in your body, and especially with the dry air in the plane, this will multiply the effect. Dehydration of your body has been found to be linked with making jet lag worse! Therefore drink as much water as you can so that your body stays nice and hydrated while on the plane. Tip #2: Sleep as much as you can on the plane One of the easiest tricks to beating jet lag is to sleep as much as you can on the plane. This will help in adjusting your body to the new time zone difference and providing your body with ample rest. If you do have trouble sleeping on the plane, then there are various sleeping aides you can take to help you sleep. However before you start taking sleeping aides,[…]

Vacations are meant to inspire relaxation and peacefulness. While you and your family may be excited to hop on the plane and travel to a tropical destination for your next summer vacation, read up on these few travel tips that will help to ensure you have a fun vacation, not a stressful one. Tip 1- Always book flights and reservations under your legal name. This is especially important if you have just gotten married but have yet to change over your passport and ID. You may receive a hard time from TSA if the name on your ticket doesnt match the name on your ID and passport. So remember, no nicknames or post-married names if thats not whats on your ID. Tip 2- Shop around for the best discount and deals. Most of the major travel websites will offer discounts for combining hotels, flights, rental cars, and more. Also, check around for discount codes and coupons, and if you are a member of an agency that has travel reservations, make sure to take advantage of their travel deals. Dont forget to check with brick-and-mortar travel agencies since they may have tickets available that are priced much lower than major travel sites. Tip 3- Watch what you pack. With baggage fees and weight limit charges, you will want to be aware of what you are packing so you can avoid getting hit with more-than-a-couple-dollar-charge when it comes to your luggage. Only take necessities and consider bringing as much as you can on your carry-on bag. It will help to weigh your luggage at home before you head to the airport so you know what you are getting yourself into and can plan appropriately if you know you cant get under the weight limit. If your luggage is too large to simply place on the scale, jump on first and weigh yourself. Grab your bag then hop on the scale a second time and see what the new weight is. Take this weight and subtract[…]
