This presentation will be geared toward those people who are making their first trip down to Walt Disney World.  WDW is huge &#8211; both in geography and complexity &#8211; and having some basic information before you go can increase your enjoyment of the trip by orders of magnitude.  At this presentation, we&#8217;ll cover facets of a Disney vacation such as: the four parks, two water parks, Downtown Disney, the Boardwalk, the 20+ resorts, Fastpass, Photopass, Extra Magic Hours, Park Hopping, Package Delivery, Magical Express, WDW Transportation, Touring Plan advice, Hidden Mickeys, Restaurants and Dining Reservations, and much more.  <\/p>\n<p>In addition, three Disney celebrity authors have contributed donations to this event, which I will be raffling off.  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lou Mongello of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wdwradio.com\">WDW Radio<\/a> has generously donated 2 issues of his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.celebrationspress.com\">Celebrations Magazine<\/a>, three of his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wdwradio.com\/shop\/audio-guides-to-walt-disney-world\/\">Audio Guides to Walt Disney World<\/a>, and his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wdwradio.com\/shop\/walt-disney-world-trivia-books\/\">WDW Trivia Book<\/a>.  <\/li>\n<li>Dr. Steve Barrett of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hiddenmickeysguide.com\">Hidden Mickeys<\/a> fame has donated three of his <a href=\"http:\/\/intrepidtraveler.com\/store\/disney-books.html?\">Hidden Mickeys books<\/a>, for Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and the Disney Cruise Line; as well as his <em>Hassle Free Walt Disney World Vacation<\/em>.  <\/li>\n<li> Len Testa of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.touringplans.com\">TouringPlans.com<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wdwtoday.com\">the WDW Today podcast<\/a> has donated a copy of what I consider my Disney Bible &#8211; the <em><a href=\"http:\/\/touringplans.com\/unofficial-guide\">Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World<\/a><\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The cost for this event will be a $5.00 donation to the Leukemia &amp; Lymphoma Society.
