Expertise
As a travel agent for an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner, I can answer any question you may have about a Walt Disney World vacation from dining, recreation, tickets, and hotels to saving money, package details, and discounts. I am also a past Disney Cast Member and live in Florida, so I have the insider knowledge to help with the harder questions. I have been to Disney World about 34 times just this year (January-March 2009), so I do have alot of current knowledge about Disney.

Experience
As a travel agent working for an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner, I plan thousands of Disney World vacations every year. I have been to every Disney Resort and have visited almost every restaurant on Disney World property over the years. Besides my knowledge of Disney World vacations and theme parks, I am just a Disney World fan and love all of the magic that surrounds Disney!

Question
QUESTION: hello,
i just want to know how's the weather in Januray cause i would like to go to Disney parks and blizzard beach, is it too cold to go to a water park? thank youu

ANSWER: Hello Nicolas,

The weather does cool down in Orlando in January. The average high is 71 and the average low is 49. The pools at the Disney Resorts and Water Parks are heated year round, but running from attraction to attraction can be a little cold due to the air temperature. Most guests tend to still swim and it is the locals that try to avoid the pools during that time of year.

Depending on when you are visiting, Blizzard Beach will be closed from January 10-March 20.

QUESTION: i have another question about accommodation is there any difference in a hotel inside the parks or outside apart from transportation because im going with car. thank you again

ANSWER: Hello Nicolas,

There is something extra magical about staying at a Disney World Resort! Even though you will not need the transportation, there are plenty of perks that will benefit your family vacations including package delivery, Extra Magic Hours, Stitch wake up call, Disney Dining Plan option, Key to the World card, and much more. You are also surrounded by the Disney Magic 24 hours a day. Here is a link to more benefits of staying at a Disney World Resort:

Even on a modest budget, you can stay at a Disney World Resort. The times we suggest staying off site are when there is very little availability at the Disney Resorts and what is left is outside your price range or if you have a family of 5. These are the times when staying at an off site hotel may be a better way to go. Most guests tend to have a much more enjoyable vacation when they stay at a Disney World Resort Hotel.

I hope that helps!

QUESTION: hi again! do you think that with one day in each park is enough?

Answer
Hello,

We normally suggest two days at Magic Kingdom and then one day each at the other Disney Theme Parks. To really get to experience the best of the Disney Theme Parks, we suggest 5 days. However, we know 5 days does not fit into every vacation. If you are only able to visit 4 days, plan on getting to the Disney Theme Parks early in the morning to maximize your time at the parks. Take an afternoon break and head back for the evening. You will also want to pick our your favorites at each park. Don't try to do everything. Even in 4 or 5 days, you will not be able to do everything.
