The pin trading frenzy is still going strong, with buying and selling pins online as well as at the theme parks, Disneyland in California.

Even park-goers in the Disney parks in Hong Kong, Japan and Paris have been bitten by the pin-collecting bug and they've made it possible for collectors from all over the world to get pins from theme parks overseas that they aren't able to visit in person. And you shouldn't forget about the either, because they often carry their own exclusive pins that can be traded with fans who don't have a store to visit nearby.

Disney releases so many pins in their theme parks every year that it would be impossible to collect all of them so it makes sense for to focus on particular types of pins rather than struggling in vain to get them all. Love Tinkerbell? Well, you're in luck because so does Disney and you'll find that there are hundreds of pins featuring the feisty little pixie.

Of course, that doesn't even compare to the number of pins featuring the Disney icon, . There are so many pins showcasing Mickey that you'd have a hard time just collecting all of those pins, but even here your collection can be narrowed down to certain types of Mickey Mouse pins. Some particular favorites are pins where Mickey is dressed as the Sorceror's Apprentice, one of his more loveable incarnations. There are also lots of pins pairing Mickey with his creator, Walt Disney, and these are often some of the most collectible items that the Disney company sells.

In addition to character pins featuring the most recognizable characters from Disney's animated films, there are all kinds of pins issued featuring the park attractions and resorts. Some of the most collectible park attraction pins are limited edition issues that Disney releases to coincide with major attraction refurbishments, such as the Disney World Haunted Mansion "Re-Haunting" pins that were released in 2007 when Disney debuted the updated Haunted Mansion attraction in the Magic Kingdom. Naturally, any time Disney World opens a new attraction, such as Expedition Everest at Animal Kingdom, you can be certain they'll release some limited edition pins showcasing the new ride.

If you decide you want to get started collecting Disney pins on your next visit to Walt Disney World, you can buy them in the parks with prices starting at around $6.95 and upwards. But don't just buy pins and bring them home with you. Half the fun of collecting Disney pins is getting to trade them. You can trade a pin with any Disney cast member wearing a pin trading lanyard and you can also trade them with other guests. Just look for other Disney visitors at the theme parks wearing pin trading lanyards of their own and go and approach them and ask them if they'd like to pin trade with you!

It's such a magical experience that we all want to see and do everything -- and that costs money. Here are some of the top tips on making your bucks go further in Disney World.

Plan before you go:

Do as much research as you can before you go, particularly if it's your first visit. The most common mistake is making impulse decisions and purchases due to the excitement of the trip. Allow yourself time before you book your vacation to shop around for the best deals for accommodation, travel, etc.

Search the Internet to obtain those ever-useful money-off coupons and on-. They're available for a variety of goods and services, not just groceries, and you can save a lot of money by remembering those valuable vouchers.

Draw up a framework itinerary to find out which Disney Tickets you are likely to need. Changing or up-grading them will cost you cash which could have been extra holiday spending money.

Plan when you will go:

Florida doesn't have cold winters so, if you can, why not travel off-season. A Disney World vacation off-season is not only less expensive but the parks will not be so crowded too. If you have to pull your kids out of school, they will still get their educational fix from Epcot and Animal Kingdom. Airfares to Orlando can be cheaper mid-January till February, and September till October.

Plan where you will stay:

Of course the ideal place to stay on a Disney World vacation is a . However these can be very expensive, especially for a large family. How about renting a vacation home outside of Disney World? Accommodation is spacious and comfortable and means that all the family can stay together instead of in various hotel rooms. Size and amenities offered vary from villa to villa, but are guaranteed to provide a much-needed refuge off-park when exhaustion hits.

Plan how much to spend:

Set yourself a budget for vacation spending money, and try to stick to it. Don't go shopping for souvenirs everyday -- you will spend more than you plan to. Instead, save your shopping trip for later in the vacation when you've seen the parks and have a good idea of where to spend your money. This will cut out impulse buys and may even save you time.

Plan to do some FREE things:

Yes, believe it or not, there are activities on a Disney World vacation that don't cost a thing and you just need to know where to look to find them. Visit some of Disney's resort hotels, tour the grounds where you can listen to the music, see the wonderful architecture and gardens -- and if you're really lucky you may see some Walt Disney characters. Go to the Boardwalk, soak up the atmosphere and just hang out, or visit Celebration.

Vacation rentals combine great locations, incredible luxury and, believe it or not, a truly affordable price. In case you have never considered this accommodations option, I will guide you through the main features offered by Disney home rentals.

Hotels are nice, they are often luxurious but they are costly. In addition just think about it. At home you do not confine yourself to one or two rooms, so why do it on your vacation, when you are trying to relax? It is usually not a viable option to rent four or five rooms at a hotel but did you know that you can get a four bedroom, three bath home located ten minutes from Disney World starting at $130 per night?

The rental home I am talking about has a , and spa. Other Disney home rentals have game rooms, DVD, Cable TV, full air conditioning, heating, fully equipped kitchens and all the furnishings that you need. Located in that are within 10-15 minutes from Disney World, these homes offer the best possible accommodations for an at Disney World and the other attractions of the Orlando area.

Just try to picture yourself in one of these homes. You can put your children in their own room or rooms and be certain that they will get a good night's rest. You can go out to the theme parks in the morning, and come back for a short meal and rest at mid day and then go out again refreshed for the afternoon. You can come back at home in the evening and enjoy a swim in your private pool or a barbeque with your family. It would be difficult or impossible to do these things in most hotels.

The great thing about all this is that you get luxury, comfort and convenience at an affordable price. You save on the cost of the accommodations and if you prepare some of your meals, instead of always eating out, then you will also have additional savings. If you want to enjoy your vacation or holiday with friends, relatives or a larger group then the savings are truly amazing.

For example you can rent a six bedroom home with 4.5 bathrooms and a screened private pool starting at $210 per night. This home is located in a resort community which is 3.5 miles from Disney World. If you are vacationing with a party of seven people, then the per person price is $30 a night. Is there any hotel that can match this? I don't think so. That's why Disney home rentals are the way to go when spend your vacation or holiday at Disney World and Orlando.

So, look around this site, choose the home that is best for you and make you reservation now. The best homes are often booked far in advance so it is good to plan ahead and get the best possible vacation home at a great price.Mark Whichard writes frequently about Orlando tourism.

Walt Disney World is a very poplar vacation destination, so now matter when you go, you can expect it to be quite crowded. The difference in visiting during a non-peak, less crowded time versus a peak time, like July 4 can be the difference of a fun family vacation and a stressful, frustrating one.

Walt Disney World is visited by millions of people each year, with the highest crowds descending on the parks during the summer months, holiday weeks (Christmas, Easter, July 4) and . It is not suggested that you visit during these times, unless you have no choice in the matter. If you must attend at these times, you should plan your park touring well in advance and be willing to modify your park visits to include a reasonable amount of must see attractions. This will prevent you from being disappointed if you are unable to see everything the parks have to offer.

Another consideration when planning a trip to Walt Disney World is the weather. During the summer months, the temperatures and humidity in Orlando can reach very uncomfortable highs that make touring the parks all day quite difficult. During the months of September and October you will be in , which brings heavy rains -- also not great for touring the . Ideal months for the best would be April through June and November and December.

The best times to visit Walt Disney World would be the non-peak times of the year; early January until Easter -- expect during Spring Break, late August until first weeks of December -- except week of Halloween and week of Thanksgiving.

Planning to visit during a non peak, less crowded time will allow you to visit the parks at a relaxed pace, with less stress. A good way to prepare for your days at Walt Disney World is to become familiar with the parks, their layouts and policies. Review the attractions at the parks to see what your family would like to visit.

Choosing a time to visit Walt Disney World is one of the most important steps in your vacation -- it can help you on your way to your best vacation ever!

But if you really want a lot of options to choose from then consider visiting Disney's website to see what is available, or you can call them directly. In fact, this may be the best place to start your search. Remember, Disney World wants your family to spend their vacation there just as much as your family does, so they will be willing to provide you with nice discounts or value packages to make sure you are able to stay with them.

There is also the option of hiring a travel agent to book the trip for you. All you have to do is tell the agent where you want to go and how much you are willing to spend and then let the agent work their magic. Oftentimes travel agents know exactly where to look to find hidden deals and discounts that are not generally advertised, so that the average traveler may never know they existed. This option though, is a little more because you will have to pay the agent a commission; however, if he/she manages to find you a terrific deal the commission may be offset by the savings.

Whichever way you decide to book your Disney World vacation, always make sure and read the fine print on any deals you may be considering. Find out if meals are included, and if so, what the rules are in regards to this. Also check for any hidden fees and whether or not your money is refundable if some unforeseen emergency arises and your family cannot go. Also find out if there is a fee for changing you vacation dates. Try and prepare for all contingencies because you're most likely going to book the trip a few months in advance and a lot can change during the time between booking and the actual vacation.

Hopefully, this won't happen. With a bit of luck, you will find an excellent deal and have a , but you'll never know unless you start looking for deals.

This tiny venture was founded on October 16, 1923 =96 and in 2006, Walt Disney's company had grown to revenues of $34.3 billion.

The first project the Disney brothers worked on was a series entitled Alice's Wonderland, and in 1925, Walt Disney convinced his brother to rename the studio to . After several smaller successes and failures, the first Mickey Mouse cartoons Plane Crazy and Steamboat Willie were released to audiences in 1928. As it was the first cartoon with sound to achieve popularity, Walt Disney was able to expand his ventures a year later into three additional companies: , Recording Company, and Liled Realty and Investment Company.

Over the next several years, what would become some of Disney's most beloved characters were introduced: Pluto in 1930, Goofy in 1932, and Donald Duck in 1934. It was in 1937 that the studio's first feature-length animation film was released, , and it made history books by being the first animated feature film ever produced. The next year, Walt Disney merged all of his companies under one title, , and in 1940 the production house released both Pinocchio and Fantasia.

As the studio began to grow, the United States' foray into World War II caused a slowdown in film production as Disney was instead contracted to create morale-boosting government propaganda. The next 10 years were relatively slow for Disney, and films created were solely low budget or took years to produce =96 Bambi was in production for 6 years before its theatrical release. In 1950, the company was revived with the release of Cinderella, and 1952 saw Walt Disney begin to plan the Walt Disney Productions theme park.

It wasn't until 1967 that work actually began on the theme park, though it had certainly helped that the company went public ten years prior. The Walt Disney World Resort opened in Orlando, Florida in 1971, and Disney began to make its foray into live-action films. Although there were many ups and downs in the years following Walt's death, the company continued to make a name for itself and forge ahead to new grounds. While there have been plenty of roadblocks in the new millennium =96 such as the controversy over CEO Michael Eisner's policies and several hostile bid takeover attempts =96 the company has managed to push through to continue holding its place as one of the largest and most influential companies on the planet.

Worse still, weeks of heat occur exactly when school is out and families head to . No one in her right frame of mind considers heat, humidity and crowd a great combo, but with some planning, your family's summer vacation to Disney World can still be fun.

Staying at an on-property is a good start. You can commute to the parks in air-conditioned comfort using Disney bus, monorail or water transportation. This is definitely a better choice than driving a car that has been baking in the sun for hours.

Another incentive for staying on a is that you can take advantage of the Extra Magic Hour. On designated days, a Walt Disney World theme park will open an hour early for Disney Resort guests only. With that extra hour, you have time to take a break during the afternoon for a swim or a nap. Some resorts even have water activities, such as water skiing and surfing lessons, which are perfect for a hot day.

Pack a few water-mister fans. These little gizmo's are life-savers. It's fun to buy the Mickey version in the park, but why pay $15 a pop if you can get them at Wal-Mart for $4.95 each? Kids will be fighting over them, so getting a few of them cheaply and packing additional batteries to go is a smart choice.

If you have a Park-Hopper Pass, cool down by visiting the water parks. Both and offer lots of fun for the whole family in the form of slides or raft rides. The water parks get crowded in a hot day pretty fast, so if you arrive at 11 am or after, expect plenty of queuing in the hot sun.

This is obvious, but crucial to mention nonetheless: dress light and wear sandals. Most theme-park guidebooks advise proper shoes and socks, but with the heat and humidity, wrapping your feet in socks isn't actually going to help.

Remember to drink plenty of water. If someone in your group does get dehydrated, get to the First Aid Station. Each Disney theme park has one.

This is the best tip, which is why I'm saving it for the last. If you have tots, let them set the pace. Kids get cranky easily in the heat. This is more so considering that while you are looking at castles, they are in a hot stroller with nothing interesting at eye level. So if the kids are tired, head to somewhere with air-conditioning, have a break in a restaurant, or do anything that allows everyone to cool down.

You don't have to win a lottery or contest to get the discount accommodations, either. The secret to it can be expressed in three words " Rentals." These are three to seven bedroom homes located within 15 minutes of Disney World that vacationers can rent a on a daily or weekly basis. In case you are not familiar with Florida , then let me walk you through it.

First of all, all the homes that are available for rent are fully equipped. They are fully furnished and the kitchens are ready for you to use. All of the homes have private or community swimming pools and some also have spas and game-rooms. Other amenities include air conditioning and heating, , wireless Internet, and more.

The homes are located in resort communities that are within 15 minutes of Disney World, and some of them are as close as a five minute drive to Disney World. The homes are not only conveniently located close to the theme parks, they are also well served by and shopping plazas. The convenient location combined with great amenities makes for a winning combination in luxury and comfort, but this is just the beginning.

The greatest benefit of the Disney Vacation Rentals is the amount of space that you get. Instead of cramming into one or two hotel rooms you can stretch out in a spacious home with three or more bedrooms. Your children can have their own bedrooms and can sleep soundly and everyone can have the space that they need to be relaxed and comfortable.

Did I say that the large amount of space that you get is the greatest advantage of staying in a Disney Vacation Rental? Well, I could be wrong because you may consider the amazing rentals prices to be the biggest attraction of the vacation rentals. Let's take an example. Suppose you are traveling with your family and even a few friends. You could opt for a four bedroom, two bath rental. You can get it within a price range of $125 to $135 per night. That's right you get a large, fully equipped luxury home for the price of one room at a hotel! The variation in price depends on the time of year that you book your stay. The holiday periods of Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Year are the peak periods and the prices are a bit higher then.

If you are coming with five or six people in your group, then the per-person nightly rates are truly affordable and indeed, amazing. So, don't worry about accommodations for your visit to Disney World. Select and reserve a vacation rental home, and get on with the task of planning an unforgettable vacation in Orlando and Disney World, Florida.Janice McSherry writes frequently on Florida tourism.

And it is an especially exiting trip for children. But if you're in the dark about how to purchase an affordable package, you may be a little by the cost. But there is a way to plan your travels so that you don't overspend.

Here are some tips on planning your Disney World hassle-free.

The first thing to consider is hotel accommodations. Where do you want to stay during your vacation? There are expensive all-star resorts and more moderately priced hotels; whatever you prefer depends on your budget.

Maybe you want to stay at a hotel that offers breakfast with . There are several helpful guidebooks that can fill you in on the best attractions and foods Disney World has to offer and they usually include information about the various expenses you'll incur at different restaurants and which character meals are a favorite among Disney visitors.

Also, before setting off, buy inexpensive merchandise. This way, you can give your kids a souvenir at the end of each day, rather than buying costly items inside the resort. You may also want to look into purchasing an "E-ticket," which allows you three extra hours to spend in the park after the normal closing time -- no long lines from the daytime, but the same fun!

Walt Disney World is an adventurous, place -- roaming around the park can be exhausting. Adults may want to take an afternoon break at the hotel and the kids may need a nap or a relaxing swim. Baby care is also a major concern. Disney World is prepared for the needs of small children; the resort offers a wide variety of childcare and there are many places where a parent can change, nurse, and feed his or her baby (high chairs are even available). If young children will be traveling with you, a stroller is a must. You can bring one yourself or rent one at the park.

Other ways Disney World is a great vacation spot for parents and their children is for many rides, there are two lines: one for an adult flying solo and another for an adult holding a baby or small child. At the end of the ride, the person who waited in the second line hands the little one off to the person who waited in the first and thus, rides the attraction as well. This phenomenon is called the "Baby Swap."

Disney World offers so many awesome opportunities -- it is much more than a simple theme park. And a Disney parade is a must-see. Make sure to invest in at least one night pass so you can watch a parade. Find out the best place to see your favorite Disney Characters ahead of time and plop down in that location well before the parade begins. The MGM Studios courtyard is a primo spot!

Walt Disney World is truly an unforgettable place to vacation to, and not just for the kids. If you plan ahead, you may create a memory your whole family will cherish.

One of the most that you will have to make is where to stay? Should you stay at a luxury hotel at Disney World or nearby or should you take a ?

As someone who is experienced in , I would wholeheartedly recommend renting a vacation home, condo or villa near Disney World. You can say that I am biased because I am in the business or renting homes in the Orlando area, however if you add up all the advantages of vacation homes you can see for yourself that they are a great value. Let's look at what you will get if you choose to vacation home rental rather than a hotel.

First let's start with the prices. Luxury hotels with the same amenities as rental homes and condos cost much more. Rental homes near Disney usually have everything you could ask for in the way of comforts. These include air conditioning, screened swimming pools, stereo- including DVD and your own garage. The homes also have complete furnishings, kitchen equipment and . You will have a luxury home at your disposal, at a lower price than you will get in a luxury hotel.

But why stop with the price? Consider the location too. You may or may not get a hotel that is near Disney World or other attractions. However, it is possible to book vacation homes that are within minutes from Disney World, Sea World and other attractions. What this means is that you can visit the theme park in the morning, come back and rest and then go out again in the afternoon and evening. It is an ideal set-up and you have a lot of flexibility because you can get up and eat when you like, and return at any time without disturbing anyone.

For me the biggest factor in opting for a vacation home rental is the issue of space. When you are at home you do not try to do everything or fit the whole family in one or two rooms, so why start doing it when you are on vacation and trying to enjoy yourself? If you get a two bedroom condo or home with more bedrooms your children will have their own rooms and will sleep properly and everyone's enjoyment of the vacation experience will be amplified. Plus, consider coming home and relaxing beside your own swimming pool, you just can't think of a better scenario.

You can get a rental home near Disney World and other Orlando-area attractions all year round. If you are planning your vacation during the peak season such as Easter, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year then you should book well in advance so that you get the accommodations of your choice.Janice McSherry writes frequently about Orlando tourism.

Many people do not realize that they do have the ability to get a great price on these theme parks. If you take a bit of time, though, you really can find a good deal. There are several things you need to consider here. Tickets for the park's admission, discounts on hotels and lodging, and discounts on food are three areas that you can save a great deal if you invest a bit of time in finding them.

To find any discounts on any or all of these products, consider these options.

• Sign up for websites that sponsor notifications, and other opportunities. You will be surprised to learn that Disney almost always has something great happening in the way of discounts. Being aware of what is happening is essential.

• Family packs. You can often save a great deal of money on Disney tickets by working with family packs. There are also that are quite if you plan to make it down to the parks more than one time per year. Consider these if they fit your specific needs.

• Deals galore! Disney has plenty of great deals in line for those that want them. For example, if you go during the off season times, even just a few weeks after school is back in session, you can save thousands of dollars with things like dining packages that are free (yes, you eat free the time that you are there!) and discounts on lodging.

• Work with a highly skilled and honest . The good news is that Disney employs many of these Disney specific agents. That means that they are not going to be telling you about all the expensive stuff, but they will work with you to get you the best deals and the cheap Disney tickets you are after. They can often tell you when you should go, how to go, and help you to find discounts to match all that you are doing while you are there.

Learning how to save on your happens when you spend the time researching what you want to do and how you will do it. You can save money on admission tickets simply by knowing when is the right time to travel. You can save money on your airline tickets, your lodging, and your meals. For example, if you plan to stay at the Disney resort, you may qualify for a package deal that drastically lowers the cost. If you plan to stay off of the resort itself, you may be able to save on things such as transportation and lodging.

Take the time to learn what is offered to you. You will quickly see that there are plenty of options available to those that are considering a great vacation without spending a whole lot of their cash just to walk in the door.
