Disney World to embark on New Timeshare Project

Disney announced yesterday that they were going to begin construction on their 8th timeshare project and 6th in Central Florida. The site for the new timeshare project is going to be built at the Animal Kingdom lodge. It will consist of 458 units, some which will be built and some which will consist of the current Animal Kingdom Lodge.

This timeshare resort will offer a new opportunity for the guest which the other 5 current timeshare projects don’t offer- a little peace and quietness (is this a word?J). Yes, the Animal Kindgom timeshare development will offer clients the opportunity to escape the theme park madness for a few hours and relax.

In 2001 10% of all visitors to Orlando where either coming here to go on a timeshare tour or they were going to stay at timeshare they currently owned. This past year, 2005, that number has increased to 15% and it is a growing. Currently Orlando has some 19,000 timeshare rooms available.

Disney to Host the Largest Horror Show in Florida

It’s Friday the 13th and Screamfest is being held inside the Disney World gates at The Wyndham Resort. What luck! How often does Friday the 13th fall in October and better yet to have Screamfest held on this exact day.

Screamfest is the largest horror festival held in Florida and this is the 4th annual event. The goal for this year is to not only make it the largest Florida Horror Festival, but they want to make this year the largest horror festival in the entire world.

If you are interested in attending this years event the cost is $25 for a day pass and $30 for the weekend pass. Not a bad price to see these following horror stars: Rowdy Roddy Piper, Tony Todd, George P Wilber (Halloween 4), P.J Soles (Rock and Roll High School), Jame Duval, and Richard Brooker (Friday the 13th).

Kick off to Year of a Million Dreams

Can you imagine having the Magic Kingdom to yourself? Well that is exactly what happened for 1 lucky family from Randolph, Ohio. The Spangler family was selected from more than 50,000 entries kick off “Year of a Million Dreams”. The Spanglers' entered the park with a red carpet entrance, and it was a dream come true.

Raymond and Tammy Spangler, both 38, and their children Derick, 13, and Ashley, 11 -- all big Disney fans -- felt like the luckiest people on Earth. They won Disney's "Keys to the Magic Kingdom" grand prize in a drawing and got the Magic Kingdom to themselves for 90 minutes, an unprecedented experience that highlighted their free, four-day, VIP Disney vacation.

The Disney's "Dreams" campaign began Sunday and runs through the end of 2007, as the follow-up to last year's highly successful "Happiest Celebration on Earth." Company executives credited last year's campaign with increasing Disney World attendance and profits in an otherwise uncertain tourism economy.

For this campaign, new shows have been added with dream themes. All park employees are directed to get more involved in visitors' experiences. More than 1 million prizes are yet to be awarded, ranging from world travel to mouse ears, nights in Cinderella Castle to unlimited fast-pass coupons.

No one has ever won exclusive use of a Disney park before. But even more than having 90 minutes to ride rides all by themselves, the Spanglers said they really loved the surprise rush of characters and employees who greeted them on Main Street U.S.A. Wednesday morning."We walked down the street, and it was quiet, with quiet background music, then all of the sudden the speakers started booming a deeper music, then you knew something was coming," said Raymond, who works in the network department for Alltel Wireless.

"That was amazing," Tammy said.
