2Eklectik's Walt Disney World mini Lensography

Disney World is an escape from reality for children of all ages, and every child has their favorite way to escape. Some like roller coasters and thrill rides (me), some like going fast (my son), some like the stage shows and shops (my wife), some like to be treated like a princess (my daughter).

Disney allows you to be a part of the action, in several of their live stage shows, and alwo gives you the opportunity to explore different parts of the world at your own leisure.

Having visited Walt Disney World for each of the past 6 years, we've learned a few things about how to make the most out of our vacation time. This typically starts several months before we even leave as we decide which restaurants we're going to be making reservations at (we always get the Dining Plan), an dcontinues with scheduling which park(s) we'll be visiting during each day of our stay.

The closer it gets to vacation time, as we start to pack, we always look through the park maps from the previous year, check the web for the extended weather forecasts, and make sure we have plenty of sun screen.

The food at Walt Disney World offers something for everyone. Disney is one of the few vacation destinations that you don't need to worry about finding something suitable for the kids to eat. As a matter fo fact, with all of the character dining options, it's sometimes more difficult to decide which restaurant to go to.

For the culinary adventurous, EPCOT offers a world of cuisines to choose from, in addition to the many themed resorts maintain their authenticity right down to the decor and menus of their restaurants and food courts.

For us, the best way to enjoy our Walt Disney World vacation is to stay on the Disney property. This means selecting from their value, moderate and luxury resorts, each of which is uniquely themed.

Naturally your choice of resort will greatly depend on who's with you (young children, older children, just you and significant other) and what amenities you're looking for (pool, spa, golf, safari).

As I said before, there are so many things to do at Walt Disney World, that you can spend days enjoying yourself without ever going to any of the theme parks. For us, this is one of the best features of a vacation at Disney World, it's like one-stop-shopping, everything you need to have a great vacation is right there.

Theme parks with thrill rides? Obviously.

Broadway style live stage shows? Got those too.

Water Parks? Two to choose from.

PGA rated golf courses (and miniature ones for the kids)? You bet

Shopping and night life? Got that too.

Oh yeah, don't forget there's also Mickey, Minnie, and lots of Princesses.
