"My family and I have been to Disney World a few times. We have flown there and have also driven across country to go. We enjoyed the roadtrip more than flying. Disney World is absolutely a wonderful place for families to visit - especially if you have small children! And it is definitely worth it to stay on property at one of Disney's resorts. They have a lot to choose from - depending on your budget. I can't say enough about how nice and friendly the staff is. When we visited Magic Kingdom we had a blast, and left with many fond memories. Epcot is a really neat place it's like two parks in one, you might need more than one day to see everything. Disney studios and Animal Kingdom are both smaller than Epcot, you can see them in one day each, and they are both very fun. Blizzard Beach is great. Teenagers will probably really like it. A lot of the slides are height restricted. But we had fun taking a relaxing tube ride around the park. It was worth the admission price. The only major downer, is that in all the parks food and drinks are very expensive, even water! So keep that in mind when you budget. "

"In February 2008, my choir group for school went to Walt Disney World in Florida. We were joined by about 20 other schools for Singabration. We got to see backstage Disney, perform for practically everyone at Magic Kingdom in front of Cinderella's Castle, and everything! We found out cameras weren't allowed at backstage Disney because they think people might think that it's ugly, and that will affect their tourists. It was a great experience, besides practicing 6 hours straight for concert that got rained out! But still very fun. The attractions and rides are long, especially Big Thunder Mountain, but if you get a Fast Pass, you can totally skip literally hundreds of people and ride it before they do! It's free, and all you have to do is wait one hour after you check in for one. All in all, this was one of the best places I've been to. Downside: The place is very expensive, and you can get one week at Universal cheaper than 1 day at Disney. Also, the cheapest hotels are the All-Star ones. And they are okay, but the rooms are similar to a Motel 8's room. Try to get a contemporary resort if you can afford it. All in All, a wonderful place for Family Vacation!!!!!"

"I have been to Disney World five times with my family. All of these were during Christmas holidays. Obviously, we love Disney World at this time of year! If you want a truly MAGICAL Christmas then this is the trip for you. The decorations for the Christmas holidays are an extra bonus for the already magical place."

"I've gone to Disney hundreds of times in my life. Of course, this is because I work there. There is always something to do. Even after three years of servitude to the mouse, I still enjoy going there."

"My wife and I have been to Walt Disney World over 57 times. We visit at least one week each year. We've had access to a timeshare within 15 minutes of the parks but have also stayed on property many times. It's great to attend the seasonal events such as the Food & Wine festival, Mickeys Not So Scary Halloween Party and Mickeys Very Merry Christmas Party. Great fun. Although we visited many times with kids we truly enjoy visiting as older folks. It's great escape and there are many fine dining options. I'd be happy to answer questions. Mickey and I are on a first name basis."

"I know what all has been said about The Magic Kingdom. I'd heard it all my life and I was a true skeptic. "It can't be THAT great." I'd say. "I bet you spend more time waiting in lines and avoiding being swindled by the 'carnies' than having actual fun." is what I would posit.I've always been the grumpy guy in the line, huffing and puffing about the wait and the pain in my back, then complaining about how short the ride was. I am a bona fide Stick In The Mud... all caps on that one.So when my wife started bugging me about taking our girls to Disney World for our vacation, I was not "in" to the idea. I wanted to go because I thought for sure my girls would love it, but I just KNEW that I would hate every minute of it. I dreaded the long lines, the hot sun, the wet seats and spending half the day in soaking wet clothes because we rode the log ride too early in the day. It turns out, of course, that I was more than just wrong. I have not had that much fun since I was a small child. Being Florida, the weather is wacky; rain at 8:30am and sun at 8:45, a nice cool breeze at 9am and rain again before 10am... then sun again... So after the weather forced me to throw out any notions of "plannning" the day and what rides we wanted to go on, I was able to just relax and go with the flow. I even rode a roller coaster; THE roller coaster evidently, Aerosmith's Rockin' Roller Coaster. Jsut so you know, I HATE roller coasters. I rode this one simply because my 8 year old daughter wanted to go on it and my wife was busy feeding the baby... or something... and couldn't ride it with her. The photo taken at the front of the ride spoke volumes about the amount of terror I felt. I didn't buy the photo because I didn't want the guys at work to EVER get a copy of it...Needless to say, I learned a lot about myself and how to simply enjoy time spent with my kids. I learned that it didn't matter if it rained on us in line to the Dumbo Ride because it just made it more fun... like a flying log ride or something. I rode with my 3 year old and kept her warm, so I got to be a hero, sort of like "Prince Charming," for my baby girl.The princesses are another thing... I have never seen my girls' faces light up the way they did during the Princess Coronation. It was... well, Magic. We got to have pictures taken with each of the princesses and eat at Cinderella's castle. We met the Fairy God Mother and got our own little magic wands.I think our trip to Disney World was a turning point in my life. I learned to loosen up a bit and enjoy my kids while they are kids. They got to see me in a whole new light and I enjoyed seeing the looks in their eyes as they discovered their "new" dad. My wife and I were planning our second trip to Disney World before we were done with the first trip. "

"This is exactly what a theme park should be. An atmosphere that cannot be matched. A commitment to customer satisfaction. A little pricey. Expedition Everest at Animal Kingdom is the best roller coaster I have ever ridden. The second best roller coaster would be the Rock-n-roller coaster at Disney Studios."

"What else could you possibley say? Even when it is sooooo busy, it is still a magical place. I can’t imagine not visiting every so many years. It is constantly changing. You really need to experience it during the holidays too. Character breakfasts are great!!"
