What Will You Celebrate at Disney?

January 20, 2009

What will you celebrate?

Orlando, FL – A major birthday, family reunion, high school graduation, a milestone wedding anniversary.  Events like these bring together family and friends from across generations.  Because people are looking to mark these occasions in spectacular and unforgettable ways, Disney Parks provide the perfect setting.  In “What Will You Celebrate?” Disney Parks is poised to address a growing national trend to “celebration vacations” with new entertainment and services that allow guests to turn their personal milestones into magical Disney experiences. 

To put guests in the spirit, anyone visiting a Walt Disney World resort theme park in Orlando on their birthday in 2009 gets in free. Whether on their birthday, Quinceanera or other occasion, guests will find Disney Parks filled with favorite characters, world-class attractions and entertainment and legendary guest services — exactly the “something for everyone” that trend-watchers say families look for in a “celebration vacation.”

SeaWorld, Universal Studios and other places to visit in Orlando and the many smaller attractions such as Gatorland Zoo, Wet n Wild and Aquatica can make for a very special celebration vacation with family and friends.

At Walt Disney World Resort Orlando, guests can personalize their celebration, choosing from more than 200 experiences — from character dining to sunrise safaris, kids’ pirate adventures to diving the depths at Epcot, having a princess-themed day or turning Walt Disney World “wild” with trail riding, water skiing or race car driving.  Making arrangements is effortless thanks to new online planning tools – and when the big day comes, Disney cast members are on hand to bring each celebration to life.

To add to the fun, the “Move It, Shake It, Celebrate It!” street party (mid-February) is a float-filled celebration with acrobatic performers and singing, dancing Disney characters inviting Magic Kingdom guests to mix and mingle down Main Street, U.S.A. For more information about “What Will You Celebrate?” guests can visit disneyparks.com, call 407/W-DISNEY or contact a travel agent.

December 24, 2008

Sloppy Joes

While the rest of the country will be shivering on New Year’s Eve, I’m spending it in Florida, through out Florida many hotels are throwing parties like the one The Plaza Resort & Spa is planning live music, hors d’oeuvres, and a champagne toast at midnight.

Other parties are going on at the Orlando area theme parks. Universal Studios CityWalk is throwing their annual bash with the Doobie Brothers performing. They always have lots of great food the bars have many different types musical acts. Dazzling fireworks showers, live entertainment and extended park hours throughout the Vacation Kingdom New Year’s Eve at Disney World making it a popular spot to ring in the new year. Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the Magic Kingdom and Epcot all have party’s planned. Late-nighters can party at Magic Kingdom until the wee hours with parades and fireworks galore. A Florida New Year’s party to remember can also be found at SeaWorld with live performers till 12:30 with the parks attractions and rides open till midnight.

Three celebrations in New Year’s Eve in Key West, all slated for the night of Wednesday, Dec. 31, are to be staged as very different — though equally lighthearted — takeoffs on the Times Square gala. Visitors and residents who want to start the New Year with a focus on fitness can do so beginning at 8 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 1, when a 5k run, walk or crawl is to depart from Islamorada’s Founders Park, MM 87 bayside.

Getting Ready for Bikes, Beer and Hot Babes in Daytona

August 12, 2008

Wet T Shirt Blond

Where else can you find so many hot girls than Daytona Bike Week, make sure to head to Main Street this year where you’ll find wet-t shirt contest, Harleys and cold beer. Some of the most popular annual activities include motorcycle shows and rallies that showcase new, vintage and custom bikes; demonstration rides on the newest machines from top manufacturers, including Harley Davidson. On Main Street and around you’ll also enjoy endless-delicious food choices, live music and plenty of people-watching.

Wet T Blond

If you’re looking to get completely put of the crowds for some quite solitude take your bike out on the Loop, it’s like no other ride. It’s freedom, sunshine, open road and graceful curves; it’s a riders dream. If you have never taken this ride it’s highly recommend that you do so. This leisurely ride will give you a feel for Florida’s natural beauty, you can check out nearby Ormond Park and see the Fairchild Oak tree – one of Florida’s oldest living Oaks. Whether is driving down the beach or rolling through the loop, there are plenty of things to do in Daytona during the annual event.

Wet-T Girl

It’s time to start thinking about hotels and while making my reservations I noticed rates were fairly reasonable, but I noticed some were already sold out. While there, stop by the Daytona Main Street Pier for a great view and some fresh air. They serve alcohol and fresh seafood and you can even rent a fishing rod and try to catch the big one.
