Napa Valley is the largest, most beautiful and most copious wine-producing regions in the United States. Wine Country, as Napa Valley, California is dubiously known.

Napa Valley is family friendly with plentiful attractions, activities and both family and adult

There’s no place like home, especially when it is the ever-growing Orlando, Florida. My 43-year-old friend Jay grew up in suburb of Orlando, graduating from local public schools with high honors and also from the University of Florida where he met and eventually married his wife, Carrie, many years ago. It wasn’t long before incredible work options drove them off to live amid the west coast of United States. Jay and Carrie have always been avid travelers, even with their eventual two kids in tow since your ages but who are now teenagers – a bubbly girl, Abby, and bottle-of-lightening tween boy named Jonah, both of which share their parents joy of travel and adventure. Growing up in the Orlando area, with family still here, Jay and Carrie and are well versed with Orlando and Walt Disney World® Resort, knowing and experiencing the parks many times since near inception as young ones and as adults with their children since they were all but 2 years old – their last visit to the theme parks being 5 years ago.

The Internet is an ever-growing, and phenomenal source of information – some true; some false. Luckily, people are becoming increasingly aware that not everything you read on the Internet is true. Despite it being seemingly endless with many legitimate sources of information, this vast universe has just as many black holes of.  Many people believe that all companies and organizations are legitimate or approved by the government, which is not always true. But the proven fact is that Preferred Guest Resorts (PGR) and its Best Vacations Ever (BVE) promotional vacations are not a scam, despite a handful of negative complaints on unaccredited rip-off style websites that may come up during online business or travel searches – and proven fact is stronger than fiction.

Decades ago, Orlando was blanketed by the fragrant scent and orange eye-popping orange an yellow colors bursting out of citrus groves that went on for miles and miles. The Sunshine State was already a popular tourist destination for its year-round climate and tropical setting. Then came a mouse. Not just any mouse, but Mickey Mouse from the legendary Disney films that children and even adults hold dear to heart. He and his partner, Minnie Mouse, and the entire cast of colorful characters come to life would help create the epicenter of magical family vacations, and putting Orlando on the ultimate tourist attraction map. It was 1963 when Walt Disney, the man behind the magic, flew over Orlando via helicopter and ear-marked Orlando, Florida, to be the perfect location and home for what would become Walt Disney World®, the equivalent to what is now the Magic Kingdom® Theme Park division today, and roller coaster rides like Space Mountain were E-ticket rides out of a booklet of tickets, kind of like a fair.

If you’re looking to make a spring or summer break escape, there are several tips and tricks to use when searching for deals on airfare to save you money on rates, even late spring and early summer. Unbelievably, buying your tickets several months in advance may end up costing you more money. Best Vacations Ever (BVE) and many experts boast the best time to buy airline tickets is seven to eight weeks before your departure date. It’s around this time when airlines look to fill their seats for future flights. The closer it gets to the flight, the cheaper you may find tickets, but if you wait too long, be ready to pay a premium rate (a skyrocketing high rate) if you book a flight with less than 14 days before you want to depart. Knowing when to book cheaper travel rates during the week means you can save even more than the hundreds of dollars already saved from the complimentary accommodations of a Best Vacations Ever promotional vacation package
