The Disney Vacation has been a staple of the vacation getaway for nearly fifty years. Walt Disney first broke ground for his Disneyland theme park in Anaheim, California in 1954. The vacation world has not been the same since. Disney’s goal was to design a place that was truly magical, where both children and adults could let their imaginations soar.

Theme Parks

After Disneyland came Disney World in Orlando, Florida, which opened up the eastern half of the United States to the wonder of Disney. Most recently Disney theme parks have been opened in Tokyo, Japan and Paris, France.

Cruises and Rentals

Why not pair one of the most popular theme parks with another popular vacation, the cruise, and create a Disney Cruise line? A Disney Cruise allows the entire family to enjoy a bit of Disney magic aboard an oceanliner that simultaneously caters to the adults in the crowd.

In and around both Disneyland and Disney World there abound opportunities for vacation rentals such as vacation homes and beachside condominiums that offer more freedom for travel beyond the parks themselves. Adults and families can explore other sights in Florida or southern California while making themselves at home in a more familial setting.

Travel Packages and Tips

Disney travel deals are endless. Exploring online travel sites such as Travelocity and Hotwire offers travelers options for budget travel or more upscale travel packages. Also, many sites offer resources and links to travel companies that handle Disney vacations exclusively and also offer tips for traveling.

Book flights, reserve just the right rental car, and make reservations for local hotels either at online vacation portals or through your travel agent. Get tips for the right time to travel to any of the Disney venues.

Disney—Not Just for Kids

Adults can find countless options to pique their interests in any of the Disney Vacation options. There are cruises, golf vacations, and even Disney-themed weddings for the true Disney buff. Adults can explore modern science and technology or explore the countries of the world within the gates of the theme parks. Many of the rides are also designed for the mature thrill-seeker, too.

Perhaps for a more upscale adult getaway make plans to visit Disney Tokyo and see Japan itself. Or plan a trip to romantic Paris, France and delight in Disney’s themepark there while enjoying the French flavor.
