I have been to Disney over 30 times. I am very familiar with all of the resorts, restaurants and parks and can be helpful when planning a Disney vacation. I have eaten at almost all of the Disney restaurants from the most expensive to counter type of eateries. I have stayed at most of the resorts at least one or more times, and can suggest what resort would best meet your budget and accommodate your party. I can be of help with planning strategies on touring the parks, and help with making the most of your time in Disney. I also have access to many other web sites and informational areas that can make your trip a more pleasant one. I have also written a series of articles for the www.wdwig.com web site on traveling to Disneyworld as an empty nester.
