If you are planning a vacation to a Walt Disney park, your best bet is to delay your trip to 2009 and get ready to celebrate your birthday Disney style. The reason being that Disney recently announced that free admission will be offered to those people celebrating a birthday.

To get the free admission, all you will have to do is show identification and proof of your birthday and you’ll be admitted at no cost. This deal is available at Disney parks in the United States such as Walt Disney World and Disneyland.

Although a birthday will get you into the park for free, everything else within the park will cost the same amount of money. Additionally, most birthday goers are expected to bring along friends and family to celebrate. For those reasons, many experts expect this marketing maneuver by Disney to make the company a substantial amount of money in the long run.

Disney will begin a series of television ads to promote their free birthday admission policy. Hollywood stars are already taking note, as Miley Cyrus has already announced that she will visit Disneyland on her 16th birthday.

For more information or to register your birthday visit, go to DisneyParks.com.

The Polynesian at Walt Disney World is a deluxe class resort in the Magic Kingdom area. The Polynesian (or “Poly”, as frequent visitors refer to it), was one of the first resorts to be built at Disney World.

The close proximity to the Magic Kingdom makes it a very popular hotel choice for Walt Disney World guests. The Polynesian hosts a theme of the South Pacific islands, from the lush vegetation in the grand lobby to the intimate details found in the resort rooms. As you enter the main building in the Polynesian complex, you will be in the two-story lobby, also known as the Great Ceremonial House. In addition to the front desk area, here you will also find shops, restaurants, and a lounge.

Disney World is one of the most frequently visited family vacation destinations in the world. Because of this, it might not be the first place that comes to mind when you think about romantic travel destinations. But there is romance at Disney World, and plenty of adult activities.

In fact, one of the top romantic restaurants in Disney World just implemented a little-used rule that forbids kids from dining there. And there’s not a “one size fits all” type of honeymoon at Disney World either; you can create the kind of retreat that suits your relationship.

To get started with a Disney World honeymoon, you’ll want to head to the Disney website and figure out which honeymoon style is right for you. Choose from five basic options: adventurous, exotic, luxurious, relaxing or “distinctly Disney.” Even if you decide not to book through the site, (although you should because of the discounts it offers to honeymooners), you’ll get a good idea of how to play the ideal Disney World Honeymoon.

One of the best features for couples that you can access through this same site is their Honeymoon Gift Registry. The types of gifts available through the registry match the type of honeymoon you select through the site. You choose everything from accommodations to entertainment that you would like to enjoy on the vacation and then your wedding guests can help foot the bill. It’s a great way to save money and to actually get a gift that you’ll use.

Travel agents and wedding planners can also help you create the perfect Disney World Honeymoon.

This moderate class hotel located in the Epcot area has over 2000 rooms spread over a sprawling 200 acres. When you arrive at the resort complex your first stop will be at the Custom House, the hotel’s lobby area - here you can check in, buy theme park tickets, make dinner reservations or visit the front desk for any hotel issues.

The rooms are section off into “villages”, each named for a Caribbean location. At check in you will be told your rooms location. If you are driving to the resort you can then move your vehicle to a parking area located right outside your room area. If you arrived without your own car you will be taken to your room location by a cast member - the check-in area in not within easy walking distance of most hotel rooms.
