School's Out, and Walt Disney World Is In

Fairfield Inn & Suites Orlando Lake Buena Vista in the Marriott Village Offers Families the Perfect Summer Escape for 30% Off

School’s out for the year and it’s finally time for a family getaway and some fun in the sun. For many families this means a trip to Walt Disney World®. Those looking for a nearby Disney World Family hotel will delight in the Fairfield Inn & Suites Orlando Lake Buena Vista’s newest hotel package.

The Summer Escape! Orlando hotel discount package includes:

  • Deluxe accommodations
  • Complimentary wireless high-speed internet
  • Complimentary parking
  • Complimentary breakfast
  • Rates from $76
  • Valid Through September 30, 2010

With award winning accommodations and a convenient location just one mile from Walt Disney World®, it’s the perfect place to take advantage of summer break.

Guests can start the morning with a complimentary continental breakfast before heading to the lobby where tickets for Disney World are conveniently available for purchase. Then, the hotel shuttle whisks guests away to the park so getting there is one less thing to worry about.

When not enjoying their Orlando family hotel suite, Disney makes this summer escape even more special with their Sumer Nightastic event that includes the Main Street Electrical Parade, Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, and Nightastic Fireworks Spectacular.

I have stayed at the Marriot Village several times and I will say if we are not staying on property we are staying here. That is the only reason why I posted this News Article cause I can say this is a really nice spot!

Disneyworld Couple discovers their fairy tale beginning

Disneyworld Couple discovers their fairy tale beginning

Many couples like to believe it was fate that brought them together. In the case of a Florida couple, it might be true.

Donna and Alex Voutsinas met 13 years ago, or so they thought. Just days before their wedding, Donna was looking at some old photos. She found one of her as a child, 30 years ago with her family at Disneyworld. Alex couldn’t believe it. In the background was his father pushing him in a stroller.

“I would have never noticed the picture. I’ve looked at it through the years and, of course, all I notice is me and my brothers. Just to be in the same picture with my wife when we were basically toddlers, it’s unbelievable,” said Alex Voutsinas.

Even more remarkable, Alex’s family lived in Montreal at the same time that Donna’s lived in New York and yet their paths crossed, without their knowing it, in the split second the photo was taken.

Ask a Disney Question: When does Star Tours close for refurbishment?

Ask a Disney Question: When does Star Tours close for refurbishment?

Today I received emails from two readers, Emma and Tabitha, both asking when Star Tours, located in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, is closing for refurbishment.  Both families will be enjoying their first day at Disney World on September 8 and they wanted to know if Star Tours was closing that day or the next day.  Good news, Tabitha and  Emma, Star Tours will be open that day and close on the 9th. We’re not sure how long it will be closed, but it’s expected to be until 2011.    Just so you know, I checked a few sources online and then verified it with Disney, so this should be good information on the dates.

The good news is that you’re visiting during one of the slowest times of the year, so crowds should be manageable.  Nonetheless, because it’s the last day for Star Tours before the refurbishment, get there early and expect crowds.  

Hope this helps.  Thanks for your questions and for reading the site. Here’s wishing both of you and your families and safe and happy vacation.

If you’d like to read more about Star Tours, read here and visit the Studios Central Blog.

Wine Country Trattoria Re-Opens At Disney California Adventure

This yummy article comes to us from the Disney Parks Blog:

With a new menu and redesigned interior, Wine County Trattoria at the Golden Vine Winery at Disney California Adventure Park debuts just in time for ‘World of Color‘ guests.

Mediterranean favorites that pair nicely with international wines are on the menu, with favorites such as “pasta your way,” Wine Country shrimp on polenta with lemon-caper butter sauce, braised lamb shank and sustainable fish with citrus pesto. The arugula salad with smoked chicken, fennel, red onion, spiced walnuts and goat cheese is a meal on a plate. And who can resist authentic tiramisu with sweetened Italian mascarpone?

Wines from California and Italy include favorites from Napa Valley such as Far Niente and Angelo Gaja from Tuscany, with more than 25 available by the glass, including gems from boutique wineries. Wine flights with three tastings also are offered.

Outdoor dining in the wide plaza features a beautiful fountain surrounded by herbs and flowers reminiscent of Napa Valley. Inside, the cozy dining room is reminiscent of a hacienda with plastered walls, terra cotta tiles and arched doorways.

In addition to the Wine Country Trattoria, the Golden Vine Winery also offers food and beverage on both terraces. ‘World of Color’ Picnics may be purchased and picked up at the Sonoma Terrace and Guests may enjoy wine by the glass and wine flights on the Mendocino Terrace.
