Disney World at Christmas

How many of you enjoyed the Christmas Disney parade today?  Did it make you wonder what it takes to decorate the Walt Disney World Parks and Resorts?    How about 1,300 trees, 18 miles of garland, 300,000 yards of ribbon, 1,300 wreaths, 8.5 million lights, and 100,00 poinsettias.  All of this is transported by 150 semi trucks.   The Spectacle of Dancing Lights in Hollywood Studios (formally MGM Studios) has over 5 million lights that take 20,000 man hours to set up, using 35 million extension cords.

Not as many fire sales

This time last year, the public was bombarded with last minute deals and offers

But times are changing.....

Most tour companies are still offering great promotional rates, but the panic of 2009 is waning.

Now is the time to book your fall and holiday vacations.  Visit http://www.holidaytravelwakefield.com/ to get some great ideas.
