If you have a movie buff in your family you may be like me and hate playing any form of movie trivia with a know it all. I never could understand the excitement and pleasure that comes from sitting and wasting precious time watching movies and memorizing movie quotes. For the movie lover in my family anything and everything movie related is a must do, see or buy. This year I thought it would be a great idea to surprise my husband with annual passes to none other than Walt Disney world, I figured we would both be happy, he could hang out in his movie loving theme park Hollywood studios and I could enjoy a fun filled day with my three year old at Magic Kingdom.

Living only thirty minutes from the happiest place on earth makes it convenient to take a few hours to run up to Orlando have some fun then crawl back into the comfort of my nice warm bed. Orlando and the attractions that this exciting city has to offer are often taken for granted by those of us who have grown up with easy access to all its benefits. I was wandering through the park just the other night and could not help but stop and really look at all the families and different cultures represented. With only a few short days till Christmas it seems as though this magical city has taken on a new purpose – to give families the best Christmas ever! The excitement on the people’s faces as they waited in line forever made me begin to appreciate my passes a bit more.

For years some people save money to be able to afford the luxury that I can have every week. It’s no secret as to how expensive one day at Disney is or any other Orlando theme park, but to calculate in flight, food, lodging and everything else that goes into such an elaborate trip is staggering. Cutting cost is important while taking on a trip as large as this one and there are several ways that it can be done without losing out on any of the fun that Disney and surrounding theme parks like Universal and Sea World has to offer. Due to tough economic times more options have become available for those who wish to visit several Orlando theme parks. Disney World hotel packages can help make lodging more affordable if a long trip is planned. Ticket prices can be bought at a discounted price if bought in bulk. For instance there are several Universal Studios Orlando packages that can be bought and customized to fit the family’s needs.

Everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy and experience the excitement that Orlando has to offer, it may take planning and a bit of saving, however it can be a possibility and dream that is turned into a magical reality. With the frugal option of one of the many Disney World hotel packages combined with Universal Studios Orlando packages every movie lover in your family will be thanking you forever for this once in a lifetime memory.
