Nature-lovers will adore Animal Kingdom and the chance to view exotic animals, ride among dinosaurs, and take a wild excursion down the waters of the Kali River.
When you're ready for a little time away from the park, you can play golf, boat or swim in the waters of man-made Seven Seas Lagoon, enjoy a performance by Cirque du Soleil, go shopping at Downtown Disney, indulge in a spa treatment at the Grand Floridian, or party the night away at Pleasure Island. Don't forget to take a break from the summer sun at Walt Disney World Orlando by visiting one of two fantastic waterparks - Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon.

After all, why would you want to go anywhere else when you can experience the most complete vacation all wrapped up into one magnificent world…Walt Disney World Orlando!
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!
