The “Rider Exchange” (referred to as the “Switch-Off” in The Unofficial Guide) is possibly a less-known time-saving technique amongst the Disney guest population because it is not as widely publicized. However, it is a necessary option for parties that have a person who is unwilling or unable to ride attractions but can’t be left alone while the rest of the group experiences them

Off the Beaten Path Holiday Fun

http://blog.touringplans.comMore from this Domain

One of my favorite things to do when I visit WDW at Christmas time is to take some time to visit the resorts. Many of the deluxe properties have extraordinary decorations which help to put me in a festive mood. Its also very relaxing to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the parks and enjoy a few hours of peace while roaming around a few hotels

Candlelight Processional at Epcot

The best example of this, however, is also my favorite show in all of Walt Disney World. The Candlelight Processional at Epcot only comes out for a scant few weeks at the holidays, but it is my absolute favorite show throughout the year at Disney. The pageantry and spectacle of it are simply breathtaking.

http://blog.touringplans.comMore from this Domain

For the past several years, the first week of December (or thereabouts) has been a time for my wife, Cheryl, and I to travel to Walt Disney World. This is not a family trip, and this is not a true vacation. In fact, it’s a trip that is far from relaxing, but believe me when I say that for this trip, each year, that is not a real issue.

Oh What A Tangled Web We Weave

http://blog.touringplans.comMore from this Domain

This year however they got smarter with the release of Tangled. If you’ve not yet seen the movie I’m sure you’re doubtful and skeptical. But when people are rushing home from the movies to record their views and posting their love for the movie all over Twitter and Facebook, you have to start to think that maybe something has changed, a corner has been turned.
