I need to know everything! I really want to know! I want to ride the rides, from Dumbo to Tower of Terror! I want to see the characters, everything! Also, do you know anything about the hotel prices, or the park hours? What rides are really long waits that you should do earlier in the day? Any must-sees? By the way- that is Disney WORLD not Disney LAND. (Disney world is inFlorida)
Answer
What a great question!
A lot of people go down to Disney World completely unprepared. I have been there 17 times in the last 13 years, because that is how old I am, so I couldn't have gone much more. I love Disney World and think of it as my home. I go at least once every school if not more.
What I normally do first with my family is to figure out when I am going and where I am staying. I would highly suggest staying on Disney Property. Below is a list of the resorts on disney property.
ON PROPERTY DISNEY WORLD RESORTS:
Value Disney World Hotels:
All-Star Movies
All-Star music

I myself normally stay at Old Key West resort which is modeled after Key West, Florida. I also love Animal Kingdom Lodge, which has its own little Plains in Africa. With real animals and a lot of culture, this is one of the really great resorts. Some of the resorts are expensive. This is why I really like Old Key West resort. It is not all that expensive and it is one of the most cosy resorts. It mostly depends on how many people are going. If not many are in your party (1-3) I would suggest a studio room. If you have a moderate party (2-5) I would suggest a one bedroom room. If you have a large party (3-6) I would suggest a two bedroom room. Now if you have a very large party (1-10) the best thing to do is get a three room room. Now the three room gets to be very expensive, but works best if you have a very large party. Now one person could stay in any of the rooms, but if you are going by your self, get a studio or 1 bedroom. At Old Key West, if you have a studio, you get a small kitchen with a microwave, toaster, mini fridge, and coffee maker. A small bathroom with a tub/shower, sink, and toilet. And a bedroom/living room with a bed, couch/pullout bed, desk, and a couple chairs. A one bedroom includes a bedroom( king size bed, chair, Tv), double bathroom(one with a toilet, shower, and sink, and the other with a sink and bathtub), a living room/kitchen(full kitchen with a full size fridge/freezer, sink, dishwasher, island coutertop, and full set of dishes perfect for cooking al most any thing, and a living room with a couch/pullout bed, chair) and normally a balcony or deck with a set of plastic furniture. I have not stayed in a two bedroom or three bedroom, but they are both very spacy.
After we have figured out where we are staying, we figure out where we are eating. Picking out your places to eat is one of the most important things. You can almost never get into a sitdown Restaurant without a reservation. My suggestion is to have one sit-down meal and one counter-service meal a day. This works best as sit-down meals can be expensive. All of the food at Disney World is fantastic! I can't give a higher review of food anywhere. A list of all the places you can go to eat is below.

i want to live and work in australia with my family , show me some guide.?
lorenzo h
i have a sister in South with her Australian Family.
Settled long time since 1983.
Answer
First contact Australian consulates, high commissions or embassies about visa and migration. You can find contact details by searching "Australian Consulates" in a search engine.
Moving to Australia
Australians seem to be more relaxed about some things than Americans according to a New Orleans man who arrived here several years ago. For instance there is a lot less "fly the flag patriotism" in Australia but just because you don't see the flag at every house does not mean patriotism does not exist. Most companies do not have dress codes for staff out of the public eye since staff would tell management to get ***ed if they tried it on.
Public Safety
Crime rates are far lower than in the US. The murder rate is a fraction of that in the USA. One US criminologist here said the violence rate is actually not much lower but since Australians are rarely armed fatal injuries are rare. It used to be considered dishonourable to carry any kind of weapon. Most crime seems to be housebreaking by drug addicts. Prostitution is now legal in controlled houses and some forms of gambling have always been legal so there has been little chance for organised crime to get big.
Road death rates are higher than in the USA, but the difference is marginal and Australian death rates are lower than they are in some western European countries. The last heavy aircraft crash was in 1960 and there have been only three railway accidents with passenger fatalities since 1970.
AIDS has a low incidence. As soon as it emerged in the 1980s the Govât of the day started a major public awareness campaign. Sufferers are usually male homosexuals and intravenous drug users. A few non-fatal diseases are slightly more common than average in some areas, but there are no endemic diseases. There is no malaria except among people who have brought it into the country and tuberculosis is all but unheard of. Some of the more stupid people refuse to immunise their infants and there have been a few local cases of whooping cough. The last diphtheria case was in 1992. The larger cities and towns are well supplied with doctors who are trained to international standards, or better. Hospitals range from slightly sub-optimal to good. There are government and private health insurance schemes which have varying amounts of cover depending on how much you pay.
Housing
Most Australian housing vaguely resembles the California bungalow or the âranch houseâ. There is usually only one floor and no basement. Typically houses built before about 1970 have 3 bedrooms, one bathroom. After that many houses were built with an "ensuite" which is a shower booth and water closet attached to the master bedroom with a full bathroom elsewhere. Kitchens generally are smallish but well appointed. Most houses do not have pantries or "dens". Recently though land prices have risen while the cost of building has fallen so newer houses are larger and better appointed. I have just paid yearly land tax of AU$758 on an âunimproved land valueâ of AU$269,666. This tax would be the same whether the house was big, small or non-existent. This tax does not include water supply or sewerage charges.
Major cites and most medium to small towns have sewer systems and safe water supplies. Cable TV and mobile (cellular) phones in larger towns. There are up to 5 free-to air TV networks available, multiple AM and FM radio stations. The landline phones work.
As in the USA real estate values vary with locality. I've seen houses sell here recently for a AU $1.3 million but they are near the top end of the local market. I live 20 minutes walk from a major employment centre and a large shopping mall. There is an elementary school five minutes walk away (set to close unfortunately) with a convenience store, small children's play area, sports ground, park, restaurant, local general practice medico nearby. There are Catholic and government high schools within twenty or thirty minutes walk.
A natural gas pipeline and a coaxial cable for phone, I'net and cable TV run past the door. Power supply is 240V 50Hz and reliable. It went off the other day as some work was being done - must have been off 8 minutes. That's the only power cut for months and the previous one lasted about as long. For more details on Australian power see the following site and follow the link for type âIâ, from the âCommentâ column.
http://www.kropla.com/electric2.htm
This city's population is about 310,000. The house is an older one with three bedrooms and one bathroom, separate garage, brick construction, tile roof, central heating on a gas furnace.
There are several real estate dealers (realtors) who operate nearly Australia-wide, look for websites for "The Professionals" and "LJ Hooker" among other reputable companies. In some country towns you can get good houses for around AU$160,000 or less. It all depends on whether the population is growing and how much work there is. I've heard of one whole village being sold for a few thousand, which was a local joke here a few months ago.
Work
Australia needs doctors and dentists for country towns. There is plenty of work in construction and mining. There are two low-rise buildings going up and another almost completed not far from the shopping mall I just mentioned. Same thing is going on in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne and even in some of the larger country towns.
Income tax is "high" compared to the USA but lower than in many other countries. This is levied by the Federal Government. On a salary of AU$65,000 you can expect to pay about AU$17,000 tax. Another federal tax is the Goods and Services Tax. This is levied at 10% on all goods except fresh uncooked food. A third federal tax which many people never have to pay is capital gains tax. This is levied on investments once disposed of, if the value has risen. If the investment is held for more than about five years (donât quote me) then the tax is not payable.
You will not pay any direct taxes to the State governments unless you buy and sell land, apartments or a car. State governments also tax cars every year with registration fees, these are a few hundred dollars. I have a V8 coupe and recently paid AU$740. This included third party injury insurance.
Citizenship has required at least 4 years residence though there has been a move recently to tighten things up a bit, maybe put in a minimum competence in English.
