If you are looking for some additional entertainment for your Disney Vacation and you are a Florida resident, then Disney’s La Nouba at Cirque du Soleil is certainly worth attending. For those who have not experienced it, Cirque du Soleil combines music, fashion, dance, and entertainment on a level that only Cirque du Soleil can provide. It is truly an overload of the senses in a good way. When my wife and I went on our Disney vacation, we both really enjoyed it, and we can’t wait to get back again. Since then we have picked up quite a few Cirque du Soleil videos but that’s a whole other story.

Cirque du Soleil is located in Downtown Disney, Disney’s evening hot spot. Florida Residents must purchase a La Nouba Category Two ticket at full price which is eighty three dollars, and then, they are eligible to purchase a second ticket at the discounted price of just twenty five dollars. A valid Florida Driver’s License is needed at the time of purchase.

This new Florida Resident Special at La Nouba is running from August 18th until October 3rd. If you are headed to Disney for your vacation, Cirque du Soleil makes a great alternative to the theme parks.

We all have our favorite Disney characters. Wouldn’t it be a thrill to meet them? Well, Disney makes this all possible with their character themed meals. These meals will provide an experience that will last a lifetime for both you and your family. The Disney characters are more easily accessible at character meals as opposed to trying to get to them when they are in the parks. In the parks, the lines can stack up quickly and you may not have the time or energy to wait your turn.

Disney has made their character based meals available throughout the day. This includes breakfast, lunch and dinner. Although, the character themed dining has its benefits, it is more pricey than the other dining options within Disney World.

Character meals vary by type and cuisine. Breakfasts are normally a buffet and dinners deviate from set menu to open menu to buffet. Be sure to check schedules for the characters before booking a meal. Character meals can book quickly. For some characters, you may need to book six months in advance, especially for popular ones. So, make sure that you call plenty in advance.

Characters make their way to all the tables while you are dining. They will take the time to pose for photographs and sign autographs with you and your family. Be sure to have your camera and pens ready!

3. Amenities are the watchword. Some hotels offer FREE microwave and refrigerator in their rooms. Others offer 42” plasma televisions and still others provide free scheduled shuttle service not only to Disney World but also Universal and SeaWorld. The best way to determine what works for you and your family is to write as many things you desire on your wish list.

6. When looking at properties pay particular attention to the age of the business. Cameras can do some mighty powerful things to older hotels…don’t be fooled…check it out.
7. It is understood that 43% of all visitors to Orlando and Disney World select their hotel by it’s proximity to the parks. If you can’t find the answer as to the location online, pick up the phone and call the hotel direct….most have a toll free 800 number.
