Magical Disney Home - Orlando Vacation Home


	No matter where you stay or when you visit, we urge you to consider planning ahead. With the overabundance of activities to experience in the Orlando area -- and with just a week or so in which to enjoy them -- planning definitely pays off, especially if you're traveling with young children. (The last thing you want to do is promise your little one breakfast with the characters in Cinderella's Castle, only to find out when you arrive that you have to make priority seating arrangements months in advance!) Disney World and Orlando's other theme parks are busy places -- there's no way of getting around that. However, there are ways of getting around waiting, worrying, and wasting time. After all, this is supposed to be your vacation. Why not enjoy it to the fullest? Below you'll find phone numbers and links to sites that will assist you in making your plans in advance. This information will enable you to purchase your tickets to the various theme parks, obtain further information on rides and height requirements, take a look at area golf courses, find out about nearby attractions, and make dining arrangements ahead of time, so all you have to do when you arrive is relax and have fun. You'll also find our "Must Do's" list, which features some of our favorite things to see and do while visiting the Orlando area. Our sincere hope is that when you look back on your vacation, what you'll remember most is the laughter, the good times, and the fun adventures you experienced. We believe the following resources will help. If you should require additional guidance or help, don’t hesitate to contact us. We’d be happy to provide suggestions or help you in any way we can.
