Free Disney Vacations

Here's what we're working on...

CRUISES - Undeniably the best vacation value around. We're looking at space for a Caribbean cruise in March, Alaskan space in June, and Hawaiian space in July or early August - and yes, some short-cruise space on the Disney Wonder in the Fall.

ALL-INCLUSIVES - We're looking at space in Jamaica and in Mexico with resorts renowned for their family-friendly atmospheres and "cool stuff" for all ages. We may also take a look at Atlantis on Paradise Island with it's brand new water park.

AWESOME TOURS - Our travel agent, Beth, is a huge fan of the new Adventures by Disney program and is working with her Disney rep to come up with some great promotions. Beth is setting up some Webinar sessions for our readers with her rep so you can learn more about these amazing vacation opportunities.

LAND VACATIONS - Ever hear of Great Wolf Lodge? Any resort with an inside water park is going to be a hit with the kids, and the options on suites are really cool. In Virginia, some sleep up to 8 people and most sleep at least 6. We're also looking at Smuggler's Notch in Vermont, another incredible family resort, as well as putting a family spin on some locations not traditionally thought of as family destinations.

VEGAS - As with Disney World, the hotels are attractions unto themselves. Add to that the shows, both free and ticketed, and the side trips to places like Ethel M's chocolate factory and the Hoover Dam, and you can spend days there having a blast without dropping a single quarter into a machine. And yes, we're also looking at the idea of doing a few days at Disneyland "for Disney World fans."

ADULTS ONLY - We all love our children, but every once in awhile it's really nice to send them to Grandma's house for a few days and escape for a little RR&R - rest, romance, and relaxation. We're looking over the best adult-only destinations in the world to see what we can come up with to provide parents their own little get-away opportunities.

OTHER IDEAS

* JUST MOMS - Put Dad in charge of the kids for a few days and go away with the girls

* SINGLE PARENTS - A chance for single parents to take their kids on vacation and meet up with other single parents to compare notes, exchange war stories, or just make new friends.

* BONDING WITH DAD - Pack up Dad and the kids and send them away for a few days

* SPECIAL NEEDS - It can be hard for families with children - or adults - who have special needs to get away, but perhaps we can figure something out. What sort of special needs does YOUR family have??

* ALTERNATIVE FAMILIES - These days, the definition of "family" can mean many things and it's always nice to meet up with others that can relate to what you're dealing with. Are you raising your grandchildren? Maybe multiple foster children? Multiple generations under one roof? Merging your family with that of a friend or sibling? Tell us your situation and maybe we can get several similar families together for some fun.
