Keep the family fun going to the middle of Orlando's attractions

Talk about the possibility of stress.

The Bennetts ran around Walt Disney World with 11 people, including children who were aged 5 to 18, while a teenager was ill in bed at the hotel.

But Theresa Bennett and his family were all smiles – even while waiting in line 40 minutes to Epcot to see "Soarin '" – the popular attraction that makes you feel like you are hang gliding in California.

"I think this is the best trip I've done," said his sister-in-law Cindy Clark, who is from Pennsylvania.

The key: The intelligent planning. Buy the Disney dining plan helped, they said. Not only save significant money and knew what they were going for food ahead of time, but also had their choice of restaurants.

"We spent a lot less on food," said Michael Malaniuk here in Chicago with his wife and two young children – only $ 300 is feeding the whole family for five days!

Just be sure to make reservations, especially for meals a matter of extreme importance.

Orlando is the No. 1 According to recent surveys, Travelocity and Orbitz, Orlando is the No. 1 destination for families this summer.

And we all know you will not run out of things to do.

Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake Resort, with its 12 hectares of lazy river, children's activities and family camp is next to Disney World and promises families a gas card debit of $ 100, breakfast free and more with rates from $ 184 per night for a suite or villa with a kitchen.

(Hint: If your kids do not go to school, however, wait until mid-August or September, the crowds are gone and prices go down significantly ..

Even a torrential downpour that one day had the Bennetts below. "I hope it rains always on," joked. "There were no lines!"

Establish a meeting place in case you are separated, and put a card in the pocket of every child with their mobile phone numbers, name and phone number of the hotel, and even their names. (Young children can say his name is "mom" or "dad" when asked.) Point park employees in uniform who can ask for help if lost.

There is an application for the Malaniuks no longer travel to Disney World with a voltage of 8 months old, they do not.

(Take advantage of Disney's FASTPASS technology that allows you to capture other attractions, while the team keeps its place in line and tells you what time to return to some of the most popular. There is a limit, however, the way you can have both.)

Another tip: Return to hotel late afternoon and take a nap or head to the pool. In many hotels, children will feel as if they were at a water park with slides, lazy rivers and water cannons firing. After all, the world rests, return to the parks for the evening festivities and fireworks. Plan for a longer trip, says Christine Malaniuk, "So you do not have to rush."

Of course, first-time visitors want some things were better – more information on the nature of "meet and greet" so you do not get to discover the line is closed (that is why the character meals are so large when all the characters come to the table for autographs and photos), information on the public transport system (yes, it can sometimes take two hours or more to get from one station to a particular park or restaurant).

Mickey and Goofy will be there tomorrow – I promise!
