Answer :
I'll try to answer all of your questions as best I can!
1. When is the best time to go:
-If you're going to visit Disney World, the best times to go are when school is in session and there is no major holiday or event happening. Since you are a family of 4, I don't know if you have children in school. If you do, and don't mind pulling them out for a week, this is when I would recommend going
-The end of January or early February. Early to Mid-May. The first week of June. The last week of August. Anytime in September or October. Early November. Early December.
-If you will have kids in school, try to avoid going over major holidays like Christmas or Thanksgiving. The parks will max out each day. Try going the first week they are out of school, or the last week before they go back. These weeks will be the best bet for you in that case, as most people travel in the middle of the summer.
-For the cruise line, anytime is fine to go, provided you avoid hurricane season. If you'd like to ensure warmer weather for your cruise, try to plan your trip between March-September sometime. It gets chillier in the winter.
2. The best rides are really subject to the opinion of each rider. The following are quite popular:
-Space Mountain
-Splash Mountain
-Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
-The Haunted Mansion
-Pirates of the Caribbean
-Jungle Cruise
-Test Track
-Mission: Space
-Spaceship Earth
-Dinosaur
-Expedition Everest
-Tower of Terror
-Rock N Roller Coaster
3. The cruise is fantastic! There are so many things for both kids & adults to do. There are adult-only areas that you can go to if you don't have kids with you. If you do, there are activities for the kids, and really fun/themed pools for the kids. There's water slides, Disney characters, and themed restaurants. At night there are shows in the theater. The ports that you stop at are all beautiful - especially Disney's private island Castaway Cay. Only people on Disney Cruises get to see it here.
4. Souvenirs are also subject to each person's likes & dislikes. I always like to get a picture frame with the year on it, as well as some kind of t-shirt. You have to get a pair of mouse ears, it's just tradition! You can wear them around the park, and then keep them forever. If you have a favorite character, you can stock up on pens/stationary/stickers/mugs and anything else that has them featured on it. Disney has no shortage of souvenirs! The best souvenir you can get is the pictures that you take yourself though. Don't forget to take lots of pictures!
5. A whole trip is hugely varied in cost depending on if you stay on Disney property or off property. Some Disney hotels like Pop Century will only cost you $600-$800 for the week. Grand hotels like the Polynesian can cost up to $3500 or more for a week. Also, if you eat at more fancy sit-down restaurants, your bill each night will be $100-$200. If you eat quick service meals, it will be much lower. Airfare again is impossible for me to calculate without knowing where you are flying from, and when. On average, you can usually get a plane ticket for $150 round trip - but I have seen them up to $400. As a rule of thumb, the earlier you book the better. Plane tickets tend to rise the closer you get to the date.
6. If you're just going to go to Disney World, give yourself a week. It's a long enough time to see the 4 main parks, and still have some relaxation at the pool. Any shorter, and you will be rushed. Longer is always better but then it gets more expensive. Most people I know go to Disney for a week.
7. The land & sea pack is great if you want to do both Disney and the Cruise. If you do this, make sure you make a list of what you really want to see in the parks because you won't have time to do everything. If you have a priority list, you can make sure you don't miss anything you really want to do. If if's your first visit, I would suggest just visiting Disney World, as there is so so much to do. If you really want to do a cruise, consider just going the week long cruise. There are plenty of ports to see, and plenty to do on the boat. Combining the two is nice if you've already seen Disney before, but might make you feel rushed if you haven't.
Have a great trip!
Answer :
I would HIGHLY recommend that you buy a guidebook or two. Pretty much every question you asked could take paragraphs to answer. I also recommend this excellent planning website: http://www.allearsnet.com
Disney cruises are generally the highest rated cruises at any travel website you look at. And if you have the money, then yes, I would do the combo pack. You can go on their website and get a quote for the price for everything. Anytime kids are in school is better for the parks.
Answer :
I don't know too much about Disney Cruise lines, however, www.key2disneydining.com has a lot of great information as far as Disney World goes. They give information on menus, prices and everything. They give you all this info for every single restaurant in Disney World. They also talk about dining plans, kosher meals and things like that. I highly recommend you take a look if you want to learn more about WDW.

How can i make at least $900 by June?
This summer my best friend is turning 15. She is Colombian and in her culture they have quinces instead of sweet sixteens . They are veryy important to them. My friend doesn't want one though so instead her dad is going to spend that money on a trip. She can invite one friend and choose me(:
We would first get flown to Spain where we would stay with her stepmother over night i don't know how long exactly. Her fathers paying for that. then from there we would get on our cruise. It's 20 days long. We would be stopping at Italy, Greece, and Turkey. I just would have to pay for my cruise ticket. Also i don't have a passport so id have to pay for that. I know that if I don't go ill never end up doing anything like this so I guess you can consider it a once and a lifetime opportunity. Also I just reallly want to go. lol.
So I was wondering how I can earn the money to go. My mom isn't willing to spend the money. I have no other adult support, money wise. I am 15 years old so i cant get a normal job but I do babysit. At the moment i have $300 and I'm predicting I need to earn at least 900 more please any ideas. Faster i can get the money the better. thank you.
Answer :
first of all, how long did it take you to get $300? if it onlyy took you like 1-2 months, then that will be no problem getting it by june.you could try and do some small extra jobs, like a paper round- you get about $20 a week for that. if you help your mom around the house like doing the washing up or hovering or somthing-she might give you some money for that (:
Answer :
I have been working from home for 4 1/2 years.
It is great to be able to set my own hours and work days, but is still work. If you are serious, send me an email:
wahopportunities1@gmail.com
I can help you get started and give you any advice I can through email (obviously for free)
Answer :
flip it. sell ur ****. or sell some ****. ah ehhh h? o but really just save up everything u get and dont spend if possible, babysit as much as u can. and McDonald's hired 15 year olds ur still aloud to work just like 25 hours a week that's when i had my first job...n now going on 6 years of endless morning grinds and putting uo with bullshit all day/. go onto this site called sitter.com u can make a profile for ur area and moms can find u and hire u. It would be a great way to get ur name out there and make more money then with the clientele have now. but if u want that cruise really bad ur going to have to save n that means not to much of partying or going out. but ur right not alot of people get to do that. totally jealous
Answer :
okay first you should watch the movie called brokedown palace is about two girls who go on a trip. You will learn what not to do in a trip ok. Its a sick movie, grate! believe me.
Then i think you shoul do the homework of your friens and make some money doing that easy thing for example typing their homework that they already did.
You can also buy altoids, tridents clorets, halls and sell to your friends at school. (bad breath) you can sell it to the boys and girls who have boy friend and girl friends and tell them that you do it for your trip.
Open an account on ebay and sell everything you dont need, or do a garage sell.
well, i hope you can get the money.

My girlfriend and I want to go on a cruise over spring break. Which cruise line should we go on?
I'm over 21 and she is under, but we both want to drink. Are there any options for us?
We are also only looking to spend about $250 or less per ticket.
Answer :
The $250 is going to be your limiting factor, especially over spring break. If you can find a cruise for that price, it will almost certainly be on Carnival. I'm afraid you'll have problems even with Carnival though because I just looked the other day for my sister. Here's a good website to compare prices; you don't have to book with them, but feel free if you want. www.cruise411.com. Pretty much all websites offer the same prices, but some offer some small perks.
I wouldn't worry about the drinking age. I've never been carded on a cruise, and even if they do card, they'll let you buy for her as long as you don't announce that you're buying for an underage person. Seriously, you'll be in international waters where there is very little law, there are no cops on board that want to bother with that sort of crap, and they want you to have a good time. Just don't be stupid about it.
Edit: Alright, I guess things have changed since I was under 21. It has been a long time after all. I am still confident that, if you buy drinks, nobody will have a problem with both of you drinking so long as you behave yourselves.
Answer :
If you're talking about seven days, in spring break period, there's no way you'll find a cruise for < $250 each. Even if the fare alone were that low, you'd have to add port charges, taxes, government fees. Then there's also $10 per passenger per day in tips, alcohol/soda, excursions [even if you just "grab a cab" in each port], etc. It adds up.
In addition, you'll have age restrictions. Carnival isn't possible. NCL often costs more [even tho it's a lesser-quality cruise] and so is Royal. The cruise lines want to avoid "spring breakers" if possible, as they tend to disrupt other passengers, especially the family demographic the cruise lines depend on.
She would not be "legally" able to drink. The key cards are coded as to > or < 21. You could, of course, buy drinks to give to her, and as long as you didn't get rowdy it probably wouldn't be a problem.
Spring break time is a popular and expensive time to cruise, especially if you're talking about Easter week. Lots of public schools have vacation time in February and March. Those cabins have likely already booked up.
Answer :
She will not be able to drink. You must be 21 or older to drink.
for a price range that you're asking for, you're going to be limited to a 4 day cruise, maybe.
If you are planning on going on Carnival as others have suggested, I hope you are at least 25. Carnival has a higher age requirement.
If you aren't 25+, your choices are very slim because you will have to go with RCCL or NCL, but then you will probably not find anything more than a 3 day cruise to the bahamas and back.
Even if you are in international waters, These ships still obey US law when it comes to alochol.
Answer :
She will not be able to drink but you will. Also, aside from just the cruise fare there are other expenditures. Alcohol and sodas are generally not included and many ships add gratuity to those items. Shore excursions are not free. Internet service is not free. I can't think of a line that would fit your budget.
Answer :
Kyle is 100% incorrect regarding alcohol on cruises. The drinking age is 21 if you are on an American ship and they do card. My husband and I are in our mid twenties, and we were carded on Princess for both drinking and at the casino. They track your age through your cruise card, which takes your details from your passport. Being in International waters has nothing to do with it.
You're going to have a hard time finding a cruise for that little money. You may find one through Carnival, but I think they require one of you to be 25+. Spring break is an expensive time.

Sweet 16 vacation help?!?
so i want to go to on vacation for mi sweet 16 during the summer, but i was wonderig if u invite friends to come with u, do u have to pay for their ticket or they pay for their own?
and any ideas of where to go?
like a cruise to where..?
or a flight to where..?
please and thank you!!(:
Answer :
well, happy birthday! (sorry if i am early or late).
But if you are getting a plane ticket, have your friends pay for their own and if they cant afford it, you can pay some, not all. For the hotel room, have everyone split it it but you can have slightly less!!
I suggest going to the cayman islands! I have been there and stay at the Marriott hotel because it is really nice. If you go there, go parisailing, scuba diving, and go to sting ray city. But bring a lot of $ everything there is expensive.
You could also go to Florida if you are looking for something less expensive. Go to Sarasota and stay at Longboat Key Resort. It is about $300 per night but soo worth it. It rain there a lot though. And go to St. Armands (don't know if i spelled that right) Circle. Go to Kilwins because they have great ice cream and peanut brittle.
Hope this helped!
