subject: Disney Vacations Around The World [print this page] Decades ago, Disney vacations simply meant trips to Disneyland. Today, there are so many different options to consider. If you have the time and cash to spare, you can even end up touring the world while on a Disney themed vacation. What exactly are your vacation options?
First of all, you can choose which theme park you want to go to among the five major ones. On top of the list is Orlando's Disney World, which is the biggest and has the widest assortment of park attractions and entertainment, as well as your other needs like food and accommodations. If you opt for Orlando, look for a package deal that covers all the things important to you.
If you want to do something different, there is the option of a Disney cruise, which is a wonderful, relaxing experience. This option is more expensive, but everybody deserves at least once in their lifetime to embark on a Disney cruise ship. The ship itself is like a vacation spot. There is entertainment for all ages so that the entire family can find something worthwhile to do.
Disney cruises have different itineraries every year. Having fun under the sun is always a yearly option though. This is because the Bahamas is a port of call for Disney ships. Disney owns its own island, Castaway Cay, where tourists can enjoy themed activities on beautiful white beaches.
If you have done all that and want to sign up for the King of all Disney vacations, your best bet would be to register for the Disney Vacation Club. Although it is often dubbed Disney's timeshare program, it is quite unlike your typical timeshare company. That's because you as a club member are allowed flexibility in your vacation plans.
The Disney Vacation Club operates with a point system. Every year, club members are awarded points that can be used in any of the Disney vacation spots and other affiliated getaways, with 500 possible choices. There is a different set of points per location. You can even opt to save your annual points for a bigger vacation the next year. Because of the flexibility and the benefits, this option is the most ideal one in the market.
Not all the Disney options may be to your liking, depending on your budget and personal preferences. It also depends upon how frequently you are able to go on a vacation. For families that do a lot of travelling, it will be convenient to avail of the club membership, whereas those that seldom travel can go for the cruise tours and park trips.
Disney vacations are truly magical experiences for people of all ages. They are now even more so with so many options to choose from. Truly, with Disney, only your imagination can limit your enjoyment.
