For a great time with the family, wholesome entertainment and an unforgettable experience await anyone who visits the Disneyworld park in Florida. This place has all the rides and adventures to allow everyone to have a great time. Read on and you’ll see how you can enjoy the best of Disneyworld without all the hassles. But before that, let’s differentiate Disneyworld from Disneyland. Disneyworld is in Florida, while Disneyland is in Anaheim, California.

Traveling to Disneyworld is hassle-free. Disneyworld is located in one of the major cities in Florida, Orlando. Direct flights from major cities all over the country are available. It’s no wonder since this place is completely family friendly wherever you go.

There are two kinds of hotels in Disneyworld, Florida: offsite and onsite hotels. Offsite hotels in Florida are located outside Disneyworld, while onsite are those hotels located in Disneyworld itself. The price difference can be noticed, and they have their own advantage and disadvantages. Those who want to enjoy Disneyworld to its full extent can stay in the hotel onsite, while those who want to see not only the Disneyworld but the rest of the Orlando attractions as well will want to stay in the offsite hotels.

Aside from the hotel reservations, you still need to have tickets to enter the different theme parks in Disneyworld. The tickets are called the park hopper tickets. Onsite hotels usually add these tickets on your reservation if you want to stay onsite and enjoy the rides. Offsite hotels also offer these kinds of tickets. When making a reservation on park hopper tickets, be certain of the dates. If you plan changes you will have a hard time changing the reservation. Park Hopper tickets usually have “the use it or lose it policy.” There are rare exceptions, but if the only reason is that you have a change of plans in the family, you’re better off purchasing a whole new set of park hoper tickets for the whole family. Prices also change based on the number of days you will use the ticket. The more days you will use the ticket, the more discounts you will get.

Almost all hotels in Disneyworld, whether onsite and offsite, require you to call them at least one week before the actual reservation takes place. Since there are thousands and perhaps millions of people wanting to book in Disneyworld, it’s just appropriate to do them as soon as possible. If you fail to cancel or change before the set date, you’ll be charged with great change fees and some hotels will even not give you a refund.

The best way to have the perfect vacation in Disneyworld is to plan everything before you leave. Making sure you have the best dates and reservation is important. If you can get a package of hotels, flights, cars and tickets all together that would be better. Everything will be laid out before you even get there. You may be paying the higher price, but putting them altogether will be worth the savings if you want to have a great time altogether without worrying about individual reservations.

Bummed out for the months of May and June? If you’re a thrills seeker, you might want to consider this tour of the lifetime…storm chasing! Every May and June, there is a handful of companies that offer storm chasing tours that usually lasts for at least a week (six days and seven nights).

If you’ve seen the home made videos that terrify people, National Graphic and Adventure Channel can tell nothing compared to these companies has to offer. You will be up close and personal with the storms that rake usually across Colorado and Oklahoma.

This is certainly a dangerous tour and the operators know that. However, the people that operates them are professionals in their field and have years of experience to back up their claims to give you the thrill of your life. If you’ve seen in the movie “Twister” the bizarre trucks that are reinforced for your protection, yes they really exist. These companies not only specialize in spotting the best routes for storms, but they also do a great job in protecting you from these storm. Reinforced steels and high powered vehicles are combined with the latest in storm predicting technology are all in the same car.

Aside from chasing storms across the states, these companies also play a vital role in weather updates for the government. With super computers in their sides, they update the weather bureau on the latest of the storms, especially on the damages as they are always on location to monitor what happened. In helping the government get updates on the storm, they are also given access to information on where the storms will hit next time.

For your accommodation, you don’t go out camping. I think it’s quite crazy that you’ll be in a tent while the storm is trying to destroy everything else in its way. Usually the accommodation will be on simple hotels such as Holiday Inn, Red Roof and Super 8 or anything that has the same rates as these hotels. It may not be the five star hotels for perfect vacation but you’re out there to get a glimpse of the storm. You might be chasing storms until 11pm in the evening so the hotels are just temporary “camps” for you to rest until the new day of storm chasing starts.

The fee? Most of the tours are being offered more than $2000 so you better save for these seven days of travel. The price that they quote will only be applicable for the lodging and the thrill of your life. You need to bring extra cash to pay for the food.

Traveling light is essential in this tour. Since you’ll be running most of the time, having a big luggage is ok, but you’ll have a hard time to carry them around. And if you’re flying in, you have to add the tickets on top of the reservations as well.

Chasing storms is definitely a thrill of the lifetime. All you need is a little budget and you’re on your way for this once in a lifetime experience.
