My husband and I went to Walt Disney World for our honeymoon – and had an amazing time!  We haven’t been back since – but are hoping to be able to take our children there someday in the near future so they can experience the magic as well.  

You can find out more information about planning a special Disney celebration getaway here, and I have a special coupon promotion for you as well.  If you book your trip between 10/20/2008 through 11/23/2008, for five or more nights for travel between now and 1/31/2009 – use the coupon ORBDISNEY150 to save $150 off qualifying Disney Resort flight + hotel packages!

Here are a few tips to help best enjoy the Disney experience:

• For birthday boys and girls, pick up a birthday button at Guest Services, which gets you special recognition from cast members and characters.
• In-room baby-sitting services or resort-based child-care programs, such as Mouseketeer Clubhouse or The Neverland Club, are a great option for parents looking for a night out without the little ones.
• A theme-park "rider switch" policy gives both mom and dad a chance to enjoy the latest attractions without the double wait. A parent who waits with a young child while the other parent rides the attraction can get on the ride with minimal wait time once the first parent comes off.
• Young guests can don a chef’s jacket and toque for a quick culinary lesson in the free Junior Chef Program at Epcot and many of the Walt Disney World restaurants. Chefs assist kids in tossing a salad for their family, for instance, or decorating their own desserts. To participate, just ask a server.

Give Mickey a big hug for me!
