This summer, The Disney Parks – Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Hong Kong Disneyland, Tokyo Disneyland Resort and more – will be the destination of millions of families worldwide. If you belong to one of those families, or if you plan on taking a trip on a Disney Cruise Line voyage, we’ve rounded up some resources to help you plan. One easy place to start is ordering a free trip-planning DVD from Disney: there’s a DVD about a vacation to a Disney theme park, and one for a Disney cruise. Mousesavers.com is a great site for people wanting to find discounts and deals for their Disney trip. It’s been recommended by Arthur Frommer, founder of Frommer’s travel guides, as a good source of tips. For example, Mousesaver’s quick-start guide on planning your Disney World vacation breaks down the best deals you can get for hotels, tickets and other things, as well as offering good advice on when to go to avoid the crowds. Mousesaver also contains important cautions against getting ripped off by con artists selling “partially used passes. ” (For example, don’t be tempted by a 7-day pass that the seller claims still has 3 days left on it.) You’ll find these on Ebay, Craigslist or storefront vendors in California or Florida, and they are usually scams. Mouseplanet.com is another good online resource, with updates and guides about the parks, and articles about new developments and upcoming events. If you like your travel advice in book form, there are plenty available. The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World 2008, by Bob Sehlinger and Len Testa, (13.59 on Amazon.com) claims to help save you from hours of standing in line. It also has a dining guide for the theme park restaurants, and ratings. Birnbaum’s 2008 Disneyland Resort tells you about the Anaheim park, how to plan your days there and other tips, for $10.17. Give your kids some reading material for the flight or drive with Birnbaum’s Walt Disney World for Kids 2008, $10.36 on Amazon.com. For children who like to collect autographs, there’s the Guide to the Magic Walt Disney World Resort Autograph and Sticker Book. Your child can check off the characters she’s seen, and figure out what autographs are missing. A Disney vacation can be magical to children, but doing a little planning can keep that magic alive despite long lines, heat and lots of walking.
