Dining Reservations - Maximize Your Vacation Time

Time is precious.  This is also true when on vacation.    Nobody likes to waste time waiting in lines.  One of the biggest time wasters is waiting at a restaurant to be seated.  How can you maximize your time away without compromising the experience?

Many vacation destinations are now offering advance dining reservations.  Disney allows guests to make reservations as early as 180 days prior to the vacation start date.  The online reservation system lets the requester see real time availability and book immediately.

Several of the cruise lines are also offering advance reservations for their specialty venues.  Having these reservations in place ahead of time lets you get on board with no worries for that special celebration dinner.

Check with your travel professional to see if advance dining reservations are available for your destination.

Bon Appetite!

A New Dream - Disney Dream, that is!

The new Disney Dream has arrived and is ready to begin sailings from Port Canaveral.   The maiden voyage will be January 26, 2011.  The Disney Dream will be offering 3-, 4-, and 5-night cruises to the Bahamas.

Joining the Disney Magic and the Disney Wonder,  it is the third and largest ship in the Disney fleet.  Many new features have been added to enhance the cruiser's experience.  One is the AquaDuck - a water coaster.  Virtual portholes are a new feature that gives a special feel of an ocean view room in an inside stateroom.  Hey look, was that Ariel swimming by?

For many, the pricing of Disney cruises seems a bit much.  Check out this article for some great explanations for this and why it is all worth it.

We are excited to see some fresh new options for the Disney cruise enthusiasts.  Be sure to consult a travel professional to make sure you get most magical experience.

See ya real soon!
