Well...you're a little late for this year.

But it's NOT too late to start thinking about next year!

It's not a cheap time to go, that's for sure.  But it will definitely be a holiday that your whole family will remember.

Talk it over with your family.  If its something that you are even MILDLY interested in doing...call and book your rooms now.  Pay your one night's deposit and then think about it for a while.  As you get into the New Year and begin planning your family's 2008 itinerary, you will have a better idea if it is something you want to work toward -- and you will already have gotten your first choice of resort!  If you change your mind, just call and cancel; you will get a full refund if you cancel with 5 days' notice!

First, let me say how excited I am to be a part of the groundbreaking new service that we like to call ChaCha.  I've only been a part of it for a very short time...and already, I am psyched about what the future holds for those of us who are involved with it...and for those of you who get to use it!

I'm also excited to begin this Orlando travel blog as part of my affiliation with ChaCha.  I lived in Orlando for about three years.  I spent most of that time working for what most people consider to be the world's premier vacation destination.  (I'll give you a hint:  it all started with a mouse!)

If you think you're too old, or too cool, or your kids are too young or too old for Disney...we need to talk.  But...never fear.  I'm more than happy to talk with you about any number of other Orlando destinations including Universal Studios/Islands Of Adventure, Sea World, etc.  I don't know them as intimately as I know Walt Disney World...but...its close.  I lived less than 3 miles from Universal Studios the entire time I was in Orlando...and held an annual pass for much of that time.  (There is no feeling in the world like stopping on your way home from work just to ride Dueling Dragons a few times!)

If you need advice about accomodations, dining, attractions, travel arrangements...I can help.  Contact me with your topics and questions at allthingsorlando@gmail.com anytime.

In the meantime, look for the latest Central Florida attractions news and commentary right here.  I'll also do my best to watch out for great deals you can take advantage of...and lots of tips and trivia to make your next trip even more magical!

Stay tuned...
