When they were younger, the Middle Island couple traveled the states together to catch 512 concerts by the Grateful Dead. "I'm still paying for meals we ate in 1968," Diane jokes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But about 20 years ago, the Summerfolds ditched the Dead and switched to Disney World, a place where a couple of Deadheads could smile, laugh and blubber like babies at the sight of Tinkerbell and Mary Poppins. To date, they've taken 83 vacations to Disney World.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I can't tell you how magical it is," Diane, 58, says. "Disney is truly there to separate you from your money. But I tell you, I've never smiled so much when giving away my money."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Disneyphiles, as the entertainment company calls them, are people like the Summerfolds who can't get enough of Orlando's Magic Kingdom and other theme parks. They are the people who know the difference between Adventureland and Frontierland. The people who know the meaning of Epcot (Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow.) The people who probably even know which animated chipmunk is Chip and which is Dale (hint: the latter has a red nose.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most importantly, they are the people to turn to when planning a Disney vacation. Why? Because Disneyphiles hold the keys to the castle: They have developed strategies to avoid long lines for rides; compiled lists of the best restaurants; and gathered scoop on where Disney characters hangout for autograph hounds. In short, they seemingly have Disney know-how in their DNA.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1808956255900834745-8029919046570078906?l=disneyvacationnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://disneyvacationnews.blogspot.com/2008/01/devoted-to-disney.html</link><author>lukeisback@gmail.com (YourMoralLeader)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1808956255900834745.post-29434175304545408</guid><pubDate>Sun, 13 Jan 2008 01:12:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-01-12T17:12:59.545-08:00</atom:updated><title>Number of visitors to Orlando down in 2006, new report says</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.orlandosentinel.com/business/custom/tourism/orl-visitors2007dec20,0,7850864.story"&gt;Jason Garcia writes&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;International visitors are particularly important because they tend to stay longer and spend more money on their vacations. The report said they accounted for 17 percent of all visitor spending in Orlando during 2006, even though they made up just 6 percent of all visitors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There were a few bright spots in the 2006 report: The number of business travelers rose 1.9 percent to 10.5 million. Visitors from Canada jumped 5.5 percent to 693,000.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Courtenay said planners think visitor totals will come in higher when this year's results are tallied, based in part on more-encouraging reports of hotel-room rentals and tourist-tax collections in 2007.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The theme parks have likewise reported more upbeat results this year. A SeaWorld Orlando spokeswoman said SeaWorld has already set annual attendance records even though the busy holidays aren't yet complete. Disney executives have also said their U.S. parks have drawn record crowds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A spokesman for Universal Orlando said its parks saw double-digit attendance increases during the third-quarter of 2007.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Our holiday season is off to a very good start," Universal spokesman Tom Schroder added, "and we're excited about the future."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1808956255900834745-29434175304545408?l=disneyvacationnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://disneyvacationnews.blogspot.com/2008/01/number-of-visitors-to-orlando-down-in.html</link><author>lukeisback@gmail.com (YourMoralLeader)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1808956255900834745.post-6121587144304339852</guid><pubDate>Sun, 13 Jan 2008 01:07:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-01-12T17:07:55.428-08:00</atom:updated><title>Christmas Vacation Time</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.orlandosentinel.com/features/lifestyle/holidays/orl-travel2007dec20,0,2450441.story?coll=orl_mezz"&gt;The Orlando Sentinel writes&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Data from the U.S. Department of Transportation show that December has been the worst month for airline delays in each of the past four years. Last December, for instance, more than one out of every four flights -- 26 percent in all -- arrived at least 15 minutes late. Another one out of every 33 flights was canceled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Snowstorms in the Northeast and Midwest contributed to 34 canceled flights at OIA last Sunday alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still, the crowds might not be as big as they could be this year thanks to $3-a-gallon gasoline and rising airfares. AAA says airfares, for instance, are averaging 16 percent more than they were a year ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's part of the reason AAA's prediction of 8.9 million airline travelers is down 0.3 percent from a year ago, though its prediction for travel by car is up 0.9 percent. The agency's prediction of 639,000 air travelers in Florida is also slightly below last year's 650,000 total.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Airfares averaging 16 percent more than last Christmas means that bargains may be hard to find for those looking to fly to their destinations," AAA President and Chief Executive Officer Robert Darbelnet said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Local officials are more optimistic. OIA, for instance, projects a 2.1 percent increase in overall holiday traffic this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Vital crowds&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The holidays are vital to Central Florida's tourism industry in general and its theme parks in particular -- a point on the calendar when they count on some of their biggest crowds and when they annually stage additional shows, stay open later and run all of their attractions, even the ones they don't open the rest of the year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;December crowds can get so thick that Walt Disney World is forced to close the gates, or at least the parking lots, at some of its theme parks, particularly Magic Kingdom. That happened three times between Christmas and Dec. 29 last year. On one of those days, Dec. 28, the gates to Magic Kingdom and Disney's Animal Kingdom and the parking lot to Disney-MGM Studios all were closed for at least a couple of hours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Disney executives have expressed optimism that Christmas season attendance this year could be even better. The same is true at SeaWorld Orlando, which has added the Polar Express Experience ride for the holidays, and at Universal Orlando, which has added the Grinch Who Stole Christmas musical at Islands of Adventure and expanded its Macy's Holiday Parade at Universal Studios.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1808956255900834745-6121587144304339852?l=disneyvacationnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://disneyvacationnews.blogspot.com/2008/01/christmas-vacation-time.html</link><author>lukeisback@gmail.com (YourMoralLeader)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
