Hi Mikeyoo12,I live 45 mins away from Disney World. I go there quite often since I have a seasonal pass. I also run a home based travel agency here in Florida. What you need to do is either get yourself a travel agent to negotiate a good deal for you with Disney or go directly to http://www.disneyworld.com and price your vacation right from there. It will let you choose a hotel, number of nights you stay, it gives and option for airfare and the number of days you will need a Disney pass.
I would suggest you do the park hopper pass. That way you can go to more than one park in a day. They have so many different kinds of passes that include different things like the water parks etc.
You don't want to miss going to Downtown Disney either which is a bunch of Disney Stores and such with the Disney Flair.
Not sure how old the child is, but if you are thinking of any Disney Character meals they have a great breakfast at the Polynesia with Mickey and Friends and also at the Wilderness Lodge with Pooh and Friend. Food is outstanding at both. They have 2 dinner and lunch ones inside Magic Kingdom also. If you like Turkey and all the fixings then you should try the lunch or dinner at Liberty Square.
Disney is expensive, but if you haven't ever been it's well worth it. If you are active duty military or retired military they are running some good specials on the Disney tickets. Military active duty and retired can get a 5 day park hopper pass which includes all water parks for free with military ID and they can get up to 5 extra tickets with all the same feature for I believe it is $99 each.
I'm not sure if these stores are still open or not because I've not been to the Outlets out on International Drive in a long time, but they used to have a Disney Outlet and a Universal outlet in there and you could get your Disney and Universal souveniers a lot cheaper than inside the park. They had TShirts, cups, calendars, those light things they sell at night in all the parks, (got my kids them there for $3 each in the park they were $15), snow globes, plates, just about anything you can think of. Supposedly they have some sort of blemish on them which we never could find anything wrong with them.
First thing to do is go to http://www.disneyworld.com and get familiar with everything available there. Get yourself a better idea of where you might want to stay. They have so many different properties to choose from.
Best of luck and I hope you have a wonderful fun filled trip!!

OH yeah and don't pass up the chance to go out on 192 and eat at the KOBE Japanese Steak House. Tell them you want the chef table and ask them if you can sit at the table that Toyota is cooking at.
Really good food (way to much) and Toyota makes it very entertaining. All the chefs are good, but Toyota is very interactive and likes to get the whole table involved.

I really enjoy Disney World and like to go there. My sister and her family are going there very soon and are going to spend a few days there. I like Epcot Center the best. It is is the best for adults and also is good for other members of the family. I like Disney and will often go there when I have the money and the time to do so.

You should check out the Disney website now. If you book now thru June 21 for a vacation in between August and the beginning for October you get the Disney Dining Plan for free. It is one counter service meal, one table service meal, and one snack a day.

My parents take my children just about every year. If you go to Disney's website, you can check out some different packages. They include rooms at the resort, tickets to the park, food, and transportation. I am not sure what the cost is, but I know that it's the cheapest way Mom and Dad have found to go.

I am longing to visit Hongkong Disneyland but i guess we still need to save more money to buy the things necessary this year. But if ever a friend or company sponsored, then why not.
We always look for the cheapest travel fare sometimes, just for fun me and hubby would browse over the internet for places to go to like Paris or Italy and chck the airfare ticket and all.
Usually we browse at make my trip website for cheap air fare tickets and some package tours that their company offer. I am sure internet will give you a lot of options to chose from.

I have been to Disney World a few times during the 1990's. the last time in 1998. I went to the one in Orlando FLA. in the U.S. it is only about one days drive for me. maybe I will go again someday. I am sure it is more expesive now that it was then.
