RUMORS OF ROYALTY CONFIRMED

I’ve been hearing about queen beds at Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter Resort for a bit, but didn’t want to publish until I got direct personal confirmation.

Last week I dropped by and talked with the concierges there a couple of times.

They confirmed the several buildings have been rehabbed and had their old full beds replaced with queen beds, and that all the full beds will be so replaced this year.

The way to get a queen, they noted, is to ask for one of the newly rehabbed buildings.

Seven Night Walt Disney World Summer Itinerary v2

SEVEN NIGHT WALT DISNEY WORLD SUMMER ITINERARY

Update: this itinerary will not work for June 2014, and I don’t know yet if it will work for July or August 2014.

Instead of it, use this.

Seven-Night-Disney-World-Summer-Itinerary-v2-11-hspThis Walt Disney World itinerary is based on the eight-night Summer Itinerary, but is one night shorter.

It is designed for the incredibly busy weeks from late May to mid-August, and for most other high-crowd periods (Christmas week, Easter Week, etc.)

The 8-night Summer itinerary itself is jam-packed; this 7 night version, which I don’t recommend but provide due to popular demand, is even more strenuous.

Submit the Best Idea for this Site and Win a Free Night at a Moderate Resort!

never mind…this contest is over, and the winner will be announced 2/13!  Thanks, Dave

HELP ME HELP YOU!

Much of the material on this site comes from suggestions from readers like you. 

Here’s a chance for you to provide ideas about topics for the site to cover and, if I pick your idea as the best, to win a free night at a Walt Disney World moderate resort!

My friends at Destinations in Florida, the travel agency I work with, have provided this prize for me to share with you guys. 

Give them a look if you are seeking a travel agent to arrange and book your Disney World trip at no cost!

HOW TO ENTER IDEAS

First, once you have an idea for a topic for the site to cover, use the search box (at the very top of the page) to check that it’s not already here somewhere!

Once you’ve checked, enter your idea into the comment form below.  Make sure your email address is right, so that I can later contact you to let you know if you’ve won! (No one will see your email address but me.)

If similar ideas are presented, only the first to be suggested (based on the time stamp on the comment form) will be eligible to win. 

HOW YOUR PRIZE WILL WORK

I will let you know if you have won via email, and let you know how to claim your prize of one free night in a moderate resort from my travel agent partners at Destinations in Florida.

DISCLAIMERS

My decisions as to who came first and who wins are final and not subject to discussion.

No one owns any submitted idea–I get to use any entries as ideas for material to develop as I see fit, without creating any obligation to whoever provided the idea.

The contest will be over no later than a month from now.
