to Disney UK Visitors
ans worldwide love Disney and all that represents this wonderful
company, which has been entertaining children and adults for decades. The people of Great Britain are no exception. Disney UK is alive
and well! People in the UK are among Disney's greatest fans, enjoying Disney movies, music, theme parks, and more. After all, Disney
magic is a universal language!
Disney UK fans are pleased to be in close proximity to one of Disney's famed theme parks - Disneyland Paris. The first Disney theme park built outside of the United States and once known as Euro Disney, this park attracts a large British population all year round as it's easily accessible from Great Britain via the Chunnel or a short plane ride.
Disney UK visitors to Disneyland Paris will be delighted with the two theme parks here - Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park. Disneyland Park is akin to Disney World's Magic Kingdom, full of fun rides that feature characters from Disney movies as well as quintessential Disney ride favorites, like It's a Small World and Peter Pan's Flight. The Walt Disney Studios Park, a favorite with Disney UK guests, takes visitors behind the scenes at the movies, with exciting backlot tours and stunt shows. You'll even learn about the art of Disney animation and be treated to a ride on the Aerosmith Rock 'N' Rollercoaster. What a perfect place to spend a holiday any time of year!
Disney UK fans can also enjoy a delightful holiday on a Disney Cruise ship. Recently, embarking on a Disney Cruise has become even easier for residents of the UK, thanks to the addition of Transatlantic cruising on the Disney Wonder. Departing from Barcelona, Spain (or ending in Barcelona) and visiting such wonderful ports of call as The Canary Islands, Gibraltar, and Disney's private island - Castaway Cay - these cruises are sure to be a hit with Disney UK passengers.
Disney aficionados in the UK are treated to the same wonderful Disney movies as those who live in the U.S. New release Disney UK movies follow similar release dates as in the states, so British Disney fans won't have to wait too long for the latest Disney flicks to hit the cinemas there.
When it comes to online Disney, UK kids can enjoying watching music videos, downloading music, learning about Disney Channel shows, or playing interactive online games. Toontown, introduced in 2003, is an exciting multi-player interactive game that's enjoyed by kids and adults worldwide, including the UK. Players design their own "toon" and join others to fight evil toons that are attempting to seize control of Toontown. Because it's Disney, it's a fun and safe internet environment for players of all ages. Other Disney UK games can be played online as well, including those based on favorite Disney Channel shows and movies. These are especially popular with kids from 8 to 12 years old.
Ultimate Disney World Savings Guide
A few people have asked me about Beth Haworth's book "Ultimate Disney World Savings Guide", and were wondering what my take on it was. Given my reputation as a well known writer on the topic of Disney World, they thought I could give a fairly honest review.
So I clicked on over to Beth's website and snatched a copy for $30. I sat down and read it from "cover-to-cover" immediately.
Now keep in mind I already have extensive notes on saving money in Disney World, and I already have a pretty good list of the best hotels and restaurants. So I wasn't really sure what to expect.
But this book really impressed me.
It was well written, easy to read, and very comprehensive. The book was jam-packed with tips and inside information about places to go, things to see, the best attractions, restaurants, hotels... you name it, it's in there. It was also consistent with all of the things I already figured out from my own vacationing, and it also gave me some great new tips and tricks.
So now, I can finally give an honest recommendation for this book. I really loved it and it was worth every penny. The tips in the book allowed me to save about $550 dollars on my last weekend getaway.
You can grab a copy of Beth's Guide for only $30. It's available on her website and can be downloaded immediately. It's highly recommended for anyone who is interested in travelling to Disney. Even if you only on intend on going to Disney World once, it will not only save you time and money, it will also make your experience much more enjoyable.
Whatever you decide, be safe and most of all, enjoy your trip!
