The Ultimate Disneyworld Savings Guide Review

If you’re a huge fan of Mickey Mouse and the World of Disney in general, you probably dream of getting to spend an entire vacation at Disney World. Maybe you’ve already experienced that but yearn to do it again, only this time without spending a year’s salary to do so. If any of these descriptions fit you, there’s a way to get on the road to your personal slice of paradise. Beth Haworth, a former Disney World cast member, has written The Ultimate Disney World Savings Guide Review to share with the world.

Granted, there have been so many eBooks on this subject that you probably have been taken in at least once or twice by them. You also probably found that there was really nothing of value in that information that you couldn’t have figured out on your own. This was most likely quite disappointing because, in this economy today, without some tips and cost savers, only the wealthy can actually afford to enjoy Disney World.
If you like eBooks that get straight to the point, you may be a bit put off by The Ultimate Disney World Savings Guide Review initially. It’s not a quickly read book. In fact, it is 140 pages, which is considered a bit long for an eBook. Approximately 40 of these pages are just comments by readers that share how to use websites, sift through paperwork, and extra hints. So if you don’t like any fluff in your reading material, be forewarned. However, having said that, don’t let that put you off or you’ll miss some amazingly helpful information.
Choose a time where you’re not in a hurry to sit down and read this eBook. Be prepared that it’s not going to be a short read and get started. Once you’ve worked your way through it, you’ll be happy you took the time to read it.

What is inside The Ultimate Disney World Savings Guide

The fun doesn’t stop there, either. Ordering The Ultimate Disney World Savings Guide also gets you a unique discount code that lets you get Park Hopper tickets for 5, 7 and 10 days at the lowest price you’ll find online. Instructions are included on how to use the code.
All of is this is available to you at a price of only $29.95.

The Not So Good Parts about this Travel Guide
This ebook offers some high quality tips and suggestions and she does an amazing job in presenting it. However, rarely is anything perfect. That includes The Ultimate Disney World Savings Guide.
The presentation of resources seems to be a bit overdone. In addition, it is actually much longer than it needs to be. With the length going on and on, it makes for parts of the book to be rather unenticing, if not completely boring, at times.
There are portions of the eBook that contain large sections of text. If they were separated into smaller paragraphs, it would make them more readable. It also makes it easier to block and print certain sections that you’d like to refer back to while planning your trip.

The Good Parts
Even though it is lengthy, the information supplied here is critical when it comes to saving money to all of the things you would expect to be doing on a Disney World vacation. This includes such things as lodging and amenities, meals, and Disney World gifts as well as in surrounding areas. It’s amazing at the amount of money you can save just by knowing how to do it.
The book begins with the topic of how to save money on lodging. You’ll find out how to do this at one of the resort hotels at Disney World, nearby rental lodgings, or even using holiday properties. Of course, each has it good points and bad points, which Ms. Haworth covers extensively.
Lodging is probably the most significant expense when you and your family go on vacation. This is true whether it’s at Disney World or at a close by beach. Ms. Haworth understands this and goes into great detail in covering all alternatives for housing and the best way to locate a great deal. You’ll even find cost tables that show charges for each of the periods of the year, such as high season, off season, and holiday season.
One of the many “insider secrets” that Ms. Haworth shares might just save you hundreds of dollars. Surprisingly enough, this tip involves staying at one of Disney World’s more costly resort hotels. It does require a little effort along with a small risk, but it is totally worth it.
You’ll learn about numerous ways to save money on your tickets to the park entrance. One of these methods to save on the 1 to 2 day tickets is to attend a time share sales pitch. Most people don’t want to waste some of their valuable vacation time sitting and listening to these. However, it’s typically only a 2 to 3 hour event and then you’ll have saved significantly on your tickets. You can actually get these tickets totally free by attending a timeshare presentation. That’s a great savings right there.
Ms. Haworth offers you even more savings on the multiple day tickets by using available add on choices. One of these is the Park Hopper add on. This gives you the chance to see the variety of Disney parks by using only 1 pass, and no expiration.
Another really great aspect of this eBook is that it’s updated monthly so you’ll always get the newest money saving strategies.

In Conclusion
The Ultimate Disney World Savings Guide is definitely a good deal, even with the few negative aspects of it. In reality, you may be able to locate some of the information in the book on your own by traveling the Internet for many hours at a time, but why do that when Beth Haworth has so kindly put it all together for you? In addition, if you’re serious about taking that Disney World vacation, this guide WILL save you tons of money that you can use for having even more fun while on your trip, certainly MUCH MORE than the mere $29.95 that you pay for this eBook!

The Best 10 Travel Destinations in the world for 2011

When the new year rolls around it is always time to check out what the top travel destinations from the previous year were and what the new top 10 travel destinations are going to be. Many things can change over the course of a year and when things change so do the travel plans of those that are planning to get away. Airlines go out of business or merge making traveling to some destinations easier or harder, hotels and resorts close and open their doors in certain areas, and, of course, climate changes happen along with natural disasters. Here are the top 10 travel destinations for 2011:

10. Boracay, The Phillippines
This is a bit of a remote area that most travelers have never been to or even considered going to. However, in Boracay the beaches are absolutely beautiful and full of soft white sand. The water of the ocean is absolutely every shade of blue you could think of. The island is so small and charming that you could literally walk the length of it before breakfast. This is a great destination for relaxation and for getting away from the daily hustle and bustle.

9. Venice, Italy
Venice has been on the top destinations lists for years and rightfully so. This is a historic and magical place that everybody should travel to at some point in their life. You can take a gondola ride and enjoy coffee at Florian’s as you spend time watching other people pass by on Saint Mark’s Square. There are many beautiful churches and old buildings to enjoy and this is a true tourist destination.

8. Tallinn, Estonia
Tallinn might be an area you are not very familiar with, but this is the capital of Estonia and it is well known for its’ love of song and celebration. The culture includes music, dance, and art being celebrated nearly every single day. There are Rooftop film screenings, numerous festivals, many urban games, and even guided landmark walks that you can enjoy. The year 2011 is the 20th anniversary of the Independence of Estonia, which means the festivals will be in full swing and will not just be confined to Tallinn.

7. Atlanta, GA, USA
One of the major reasons that Atlanta is a top destination is due to Southwest and Airtran merging together to form one airline. This will open up many new flights to Atlanta that will cost very little compared to the prices right now. Atlanta is also featuring the Georgia Aquarium this year with a 1.3 million gallon dolphin exhibit. The Legoland Discovery Centre will also be opening in Atlanta in the spring. Another new and interesting attraction will be the Pirate Museum full of treasures and artifact that will make its’ home near Centennial Olympic Park.

This is all on top of the already popular Atlanta Hawks, who are experiences success this year, and the Atlanta Braves. There is also an even known as Dragon Con in the fall, which is known as one of the largest Comic Conventions in the world.

6. Japan
Japan is slowly becoming more accessable by air and by land. This makes it much easier to travel to Japan and enjoy one of their many cultural festivals. There is a new open skies agreement between Japan and the United STates, which will make it much easier to book a flight to Japan this year. If you are a sushi lover or just facinated with the Japanese culture, then you need to look into all the new and less expensive ways you can visit Japan and the Ninja-Proof Castle this year.

5. Kinsale, Co Cork, Ireland
If you are looking for Cosmopolitan air, then Kinsale is the place for you. If you travel over to Ireland and you miss out on some of the best scenery in the entire country by not visitng Kinsale, then you really didn’t get to see Ireland. Kinsale is known for very diverse culinary delights and the fantastic sailing. This is a villiage full of fantastic restaurants, quirky shops, an old fort, The Irish ‘craic’, and most importantly welcoming bars.

4. Curacao
The year of 2011 will mark the first full year that Curacao can be considered a nation. One of the first orders of business for Curacao is to get the Americans and the Canadians to travel and stay on the island. And why not, considering this island has very warm waters, colorful architecture, and truly has the Caribbean feel of relaxation that many travelers are looking for.

3. New York City
This year in October is the 125th birthday of the Statue of Liberty, Carnegie Hall celebrates 120 years with a gala anniversary event in the Spring, and the New York Public Library is turning 100. All this in one year, along with the normal appeal of the Big Apple. There is always a Yankees game to go enjoy or simply take a walk through Times Square. Plus who can forget that the last day of 2011 will once again be a Huge party to celebrate.

2011 also marks the 10 anniversary of the tragic 9-11 and this event will be commemorated with the opening of the National September 11 Memorial at Ground Zero.

2. Bay Of Fire, Tasmania
Just the name says it all, “Bay of Fire”. It sound exotic and you have probably never even heard of it. Most likely you saw Tasmania and started to think about the Tasmanian devil cartoon. However, this is one of the least discovered paradises of the world. It is off the coast of Saint Helen’s, which is a small whaling town, and is a much lesser traveled to area of Tasmania. It features crystal clear waters, clean and sandy beaches, and some very cozy little cottages that are for rent right on the shoreline. This is a true island getaway without all the commercialization and tall buildings.

1. Basque Country, France and Spain
There is so much to see in both France and Spain that it would be wrong for the Basque Country not to be the top travel destination of 2011. The best part is it will not break your bank to travel to the Basque Country and this is one of the most beautiful areas of both France and Spain. Plus since it is so close to both the countries, if you have time, you can visit many historic areas along with seeing the beauty of the Basque Countryside.

History Of Cyprus

Leave a reply

The History of Cyprus is certainly a very fascinating one. Cyprus is among the hottest vacationer destinations inside the Mediterranean. Paphos, Cyprus one among the top world tourist destinations. It is the third largest island within the Mediterranean and it started off as a former British Colony. Whilst over 2 million vacationers flock there every year, hardly anybody is aware of the true history behind the country. By understanding the history it allows you to respect the lifestyle and the culture of Cyprus an entire lot more.

How Cyprus Has Advanced
Cyprus has at all times been a country full of love and war. Based on a fantasy, the goddess Aphrodite was born within the country and she represented beauty and love. For those who consider the word “Aphrodisiac” you will note that it intently matches the goddesses name and it’s thought that was where the word truly came from.

Aphrodite is actually the explanation why so many couples now flock to the island. They consider that the island is likely one of the most romantic of them all and it is a particular favorite on the subject of wedding destinations. The parable is that for those who get married in Cyprus you should have a cheerful and eternal marriage. In fact whether that is true or not remains to be seen but there is no denying that the setting may be very romantic.

It has solely been within the final twenty years that proof has been discovered regarding historic Cyprus and what may need gone on. In keeping with analysis and finding, the earliest people to be in Cyprus were often known as “Aetokremnos” and they lived primarily on the islands south coast. That was roughly within the 12 months 10,000 BC. At the same type of time there were findings that have prompt that there were two quite short lived populations on the east and the west coasts of the island too. However not much is known about the two or how they died out.
The most interesting factor about Cyprus’s historical past is that there appears to be a gap between the traditional inhabitants and the more settled population in 8200 BC. It’s a mystery what occurred to them and it is something that archaeologists would love to seek out.
Usually the history of Cyprus involves folks capturing the island, purchasing the island and fighting over the island. In 1192 “Guy of Lusignan” a French knight, bought the island as a result of he had just lately misplaced his personal kingdom to the Templers.

It wasn’t until 1960 that Cyprus truly gained impartial status. By this time there have been two important populations residing fortunately on the island they usually had been the Greeks and the Turks. The Cyprus flag was developed in the same yr and it represents two olive branches underneath a picture of the island and that is to symbolize peace. Before the independence of the island it was packed full of violence and war.
However the peace didn’t last lengthy and there was a Turkish invasion of the island in the 1970’s. They weren’t happy living side by side with the Greeks and they also took the legislation into their own hands.
These days nevertheless Cyprus is a way more peaceful country. The days of warfare are long over and the culture and the historical past of Cyprus is now celebrated by its local people. The historical past is unquestionably an attention-grabbing one and it’s price figuring out in case you are planning on transferring to the country.
