Her middle-aged granddaughter's comments 100 years later:
It sounds like harvesting grapes is challenging and dangerous work. At least you didn't fall out of the tree.
Old-fashioned grape vines were much larger than more modern ones. I suppose that the apple tree served as a trellis for the grape vine—and that the grapes were Concord grapes or another similar variety with seeds and slip skins.

Huawei claims its new quad-core chip outshines Tegra 3
by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 02/27/2012 11:50 AM | Source | 0 comment(s) ]
Times reports Huawei has revealed high-end smartphones and tablets based on a quad-core chip designed by the company's HiSilicon division. Huawei officials claim the 1.2-1.5GHz KV32 chip outperforms NVIDIA's Tegra 3 SoC by 30 to 50 percent across a range of benchmarks.
A 64-bit memory bus--twice the width of the tegra3--is one of the main factors in the performance of the KV32, said Jerry Su, chief architect of the chip. Built in a TSMC 40 nm low power process, the chip fits in a 12x12mm package
The KV32 uses four ARM Cortex A9 cores and a 16 core graphics chip co-developed with an unnamed U.S. chip designer. The two collaborated on the GPU

The Impossible Pantisocracy of Nuweland is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Ignacio Quaresma with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, intelligent population of 19.905 billion Nuwelanders are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although Law & Order and Social Equality are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hammersdorf-Vilamartel. The average income tax rate is 73%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.
The people are furious with the government for allowing citizens to be executed for petty crimes in foreign countries, a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, the new hit series "Nuweland's Got Trauma" has corporate executives fleeing the country, and cities are engulfed by smog. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nuweland's national animal is the ring-tailed lemur, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Lutheran Christianity, and its currency is the euro.
Nuweland is ranked 254th in Europe and 92,301st in the world for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -10 on the Hayek Index.

Funny man Tom Cotter talks comedy
America's Got Talent runner-up to perform his "rapid-fire" comedy act
"They will laugh — even if I have to follow them home and tickle them."
— Tom Cotter, America's Got Talent runner-up.
NEWTON — Tom Cotter, the breakout star and "top human finalist" from season seven of America's Got Talent, is coming to the Newton Theatre on Saturday, April 26.
Cotter, a resident of Rockland County, Stony Point, N.Y. was the first comedian to ever make the finals of the TV show. He lost the million dollar prize in the finals to a dog trick act.
If you go..
WHO: Tom Cotter.
WHAT: Comedian.
WHEN: 8 p.m., Saturday, April 26.
WHERE: Newton Theatre, 234 Spring Street, Newton, N.J.
HOW MUCH: $32 premium, $27 orchestra and $22 balcony.
FOR MORE INFORMATION: 973-383-3700 or theNewtonTheatre.com.
"Not only did the dogs win the million dollars," Cotter said, "but they can lick themselves, so they win twice."
Though his past credits include several appearances on the "Tonight Show with Jay Leno," the "Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson," a run on "Last Comic Standing" and a 30-minute special for Comedy Central, Cotter says being on America's Got Talent was "like stepping in unicorn poop," as it has brought his career to new heights.
The reason for his first-ever run as a comedian on the show has "as much to do with Howard Stern as anything I can claim," Cotter admitted. With Stern and comedian Howie Mandel making up two-thirds of a very "comedy-friendly panel," Cotter says comedians are getting more spotlight on the show than in previous years.
The current tour
As touring is now "a different beast" for Cotter than it has been in the past, his current tour sees him playing between five and seven shows per week around the country — including an upcoming three-day stint that sees him flying from New York to San Diego, back to Rhode Island, and then to Honolulu for performances.
Despite the travel, Cotter calls the workload "a blessing," as he is getting to entertain crowds on every corner of the country.
The April 26 show marks Cotter's second visit to the Newton Theater, and his first as a headline performer. Guests can expect the "rapid fire, misdirection" style comedy that lent itself to America's Got Talent.
As Cotter feels stand-up comedy is more for adults than kids, he warns that his material will be roughly equivalent to that of a PG-13 rated movie and cautions parents accordingly.
"I don't want to pay for their kids' counseling after my show," he says.
Cotter does make one guarantee for guests of the show, though.
"They will laugh — even if I have to follow them home and tickle them."
Tickets for the performance range from $22 to $32 and can be purchased from the Newton Theatre. More information is available at www.thenewtontheater.com or by calling 973-383-3700.

A stalwart Zionist
Benzion Netanyahu 370.
(photo credit:Ariel Jerozolimski)
Afew years ago, I accompanied Professor Benzion Netanyahu on a one-week trip to
the US so he could discuss with his publishers the idea of an abridged version
of his famous book, Origins of the Inquisition in Fifteenth- Century
Spain.I found myself at the professor's side at Ben-Gurion Airport as
his son Binyamin Netanyahu and his wife, Sara, walked with us (the professor was
driven in a golf cart) to the King David Lounge.The professor ate a
light meal before boarding as Netanyahu sat with me in a corner, drawing out a
map of the place we would stay along with details of where I could find the
nearest restaurants and, if necessary, a pharmacy.It was obvious to me
that this was a significant trip in that I was spending a week with the man who
had served as Ze'ev Jabotinsky's personal secretary, a leader of the Zionist
movement in pre-state years, a great historian and author of a groundbreaking
book on the Spanish Inquisition – the thesis of which caused great rift among
academics.And I took full advantage of engaging him in conversation once
we had landed.A stubborn man, the professor did not like our
accommodations and, after one day in New York, insisted on moving to a hotel he
preferred across town.Since it was Shmini Atzeret, I was unable to
accompany him by car so I helped him into a cab and then walked through Central
Park to the hotel.We had two days to kill until our appointment with the
publishers, and that gave us plenty of time to talk.It was clear that
the professor was fascinated by Jabotinsky's political realism and deep sense of
reality. His own deep Zionist ideology surfaced regularly in the way he viewed
world events.President Barack Obama had already been elected as the 44th
president of the United States and we spoke of his upcoming
inauguration. The professor was convinced that it would be terrible for
Israel and winced as he said that we should expect at least four years of
trouble.Whether he was right or wrong is still up for debate.We
also discussed his own son's election campaign (he was optimistic), the
opposition, his family life and, naturally, his son Yoni, who was killed in the
raid on Entebbe in 1976.The professor appeared frail but was, in fact,
at the ripe age of 99, physically strong, mentally sharp and formidable in
character.His views on Zionism and the State of Israel had not softened
over the course of time; rather, he held onto his belief that Israel's enemies
would not relent and that Israel must use its own strength to secure its
future.A Huffington Post article once described him as having "instilled
in all his sons a fierce, right-wing school of thinking in Israel known as 'the
Revisionists.'"They believe in rule by force and raw self-interest as the only
hope for Israel's survival. They see the historic enmity between Arabs and Jews
as something that will never be overcome and propose that there should be an
'iron wall' – to use the Zionist pioneer Ze'ev Jabotinsky's words – between the
two. Anything that compromises these beliefs, they hold to be dangerously
naive."In a well-circulated article, "The point of no return," which
appeared in The Atlantic in September 2010, Jeffrey Goldberg analyzed the
possibility of an Israeli strike on Iran. He interviewed a number of key figures
who offered their views not only on Iran but on the prime minister
himself.Goldberg wrote, "'He has a deep sense of his role in Jewish
history,' Michael Oren, Israel's ambassador to the United States, told
me.""To understand why Netanyahu possesses this deep sense – and why his
understanding of Jewish history might lead him to attack Iran, even over Obama's
objections – it is necessary to understand Ben-Zion Netanyahu, his 100-year-old
father...'Always in the back of Bibi's mind is Ben- Zion,' one of the
prime minister's friends told me. 'He worries that his father will think he is
weak.'" Goldberg describes being present at a party marking the professor's
100th birthday at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem, at which
Netanyahu described "a loving father who, though a grim and forbidding figure to
outsiders, enjoys cowboy movies and played soccer with his sons."The
professor certainly appeared outwardly stern and always in thought. At his son's
swearing-in as prime minister at the Knesset in 2009, he sat straight-faced in
the dock, even when Netanyahu waved from below.But he had a soft,
humorous side and though when we first met the professor seemed to have little
patience and preferred short answers, after about a day he opened up.He
pointed out to me the places he used to take "the boys" (Yoni, Bibi and Ido)
when they were young.He spoke of the days when he was heavily involved
in the creation of the state, but said that after 1948 he backed off from
politics and entered into academia.When Netanyahu called me to see how
his father was doing, he suggested I take him to see a Broadway show. When I
mentioned this to the professor, he made a sour face. "I have no interest in
such things anymore."Goldberg also wrote about the professor's birthday
speech. "Many people in Likud Party circles have told me that those who discount
Ben-Zion's influence on his son do so at their peril. 'This was the father
giving his son history's marching orders,' one of the attendees told me. 'I
watched Bibi while his father spoke. He was completely absorbed.' (One of
Netanyahu's Knesset allies told me, indelicately, though perhaps not
inaccurately, that the chance for movement toward the creation of an independent
Palestinian state will come only after Ben-Zion's death. 'Bibi could not
withdraw from more of Judea and Samaria... and still look into his father's
eyes')."Since then, I've wondered the same, but I am not sure this
assessment is wholly accurate.What was clear was that the professor believed deeply in his son's ability to
direct the country through its maze of troubles. It was also clear that
Netanyahu cared deeply for his father and took an interest in his daily welfare.
Ido was in America at the time and Netanyahu could have shrugged his shoulders,
leaving Ido with the responsibility to check in on their father. Instead, he
took time out of his busy schedule to call. I thought that was
commendable.WHAT WAS interesting though, was the contrast between the
professor's right-wing political identity and his distaste for Orthodox
practice.Here we were: I, an Orthodox Jew; he, formerly religious (until
around age 30, he said) and now secular.On Shabbat, he asked if I would
buy him cream from a nearby pharmacy to help heal dry skin on his leg that was
bothering him. He offered me money to pay for it, but I told him that as it was
Shabbat I did not carry cash but I would see if the hotel could procure it for
us."So put it in your pocket," he exclaimed."I'm not worried
about people seeing me with cash. It's more of a divine thing," I
replied.He looked at me and, shaking his head, said, "I'm disappointed
in you. You think God cares about such minute details? He worries about the
larger things in life."I cannot and will not judge a man who has been
through a lot more in life than I have, but it is unfortunate that his deep love
for Israel and its people did not extend to the practice by which we
differentiate ourselves from the rest of the world.Regardless, the
professor's deep Zionist fervor left an indelible impression on me and his
appreciation for history taught me, like he taught his son, that one needs to
look to the past in order to see the future.More recently, I visited the
professor in his home. During the course of our discussion about
Jerusalem, he pointed out the window to show me some large pine trees he had
planted as saplings years ago when the area was sparsely inhabited and which now
tower over the surrounding buildings.We also discussed his belief that
"ideas matter in the battle for freedom" and that while there are numerous ideas
being thrown around for solving the conflict with the Arabs today, one can never
lose sight, he insisted, of the past as an indication for what the future
holds.The professor has passed on, but, just as the trees he planted
remain deeply rooted and continue to grow, his stalwart Zionist roots and deep
understanding of the history of the Jewish nation live on through his two
remaining sons.

After inspecting my original brakes on my 2007 Toyota, the Manager said further repair was needed. In addition to the pads, calipers needed rebuilding, disc hardware & return springs replaced, & brake system bled & adjusted.
After quoted almost $400, I reluctantly agreed. The mgr. eased my mind by showing me exactly what they were doing. I appreciated this great customer service.
After repairs, the mgr. said some squealing would occur at first. For the next 3weeks, my brakes felt like sandpaper against sandpaper, grinding noises, w/ constant squealing. Upset that I just paid $400, I returned to have them looked at again. This time they found no issues but re-lubricated the parts. They said there may be occasional squealing, which was normal, but I shouldnt have any issues. During this visit, another customer was very upset w/ mgmt. due to the shady business theyre
running. As my experience at this location was positive, I assumed he was being difficult. However, he started talking to other customers & reported the EXACT issues w/ his brakes as I had w/ mine. This made me uneasy, questioning the integrity of the company. I still gave Just Brakes the benefit of the doubt due to their great customer service.
The next 2months, the occasional squealing became constant; the noise was much worse than before! Not willing to return to the same location, I took my car to the S. Cooper store #10 in Arlington on Nov 18, 2010. The mgmt. was very kind & understood my frustration. The mgr. said he found no issue w/ the rear brakes but the front brakes were severely contaminated. He explained the other store did something to cause the constant squealing. He fixed them & as I drove off, my brakes squealed.
In Jan 2011, a friend showed me his service receipt from the same Just Brakes. The invoice showed the exact same repairs my car had! I was surprised to find that my friend was charged over $600 for his repairs. It was this moment I knew the business Just Brakes was conducting lacked honesty & integrity.
3months after my last visit (now Feb 2011), I had constant squealing, this time sounding worse than ever. The emergency brake made a loud metal-grinding sound. For fear of my brakes giving out & not wanting to return to any Just Brakes, I wrote a letter to Just Brakes corporate office. I was contacted by the company. They directed me to take my car to their Mansfield location (#150) &meet w/ the mgr. at the time, Tim Galvan. In early March 2011, I took my car to Tim. Tim told me that the brakes used by all Just Brakes stores didnt always work on all vehicles; Toyotas, he said, commonly had issues w/ their pads. He
showed me a different brake pad, supposedly made out of a softer, ceramic material, which he was going to use (even though the corporate office might frown upon that). After the repairs, my car no longer had any brake issues. I trusted this location due to Manager Tim Galvan.
April 2012, my brakes started squeaking. Because I trusted Tim, I returned to the Mansfield store. A new manager, Charles, was transferred to the location (from Irving); I went ahead & had him service my brakes. Charles said the brakes were fine, but I needed to flush the brake fluid, which cost me almost $100. After this visit, my brakes caused my car to shake when applied.
After my Toyota reached 100K miles, I took it to my Toyota dealership to have it serviced. One of the issues they noted was the shaking when the brakes were applied. The Toyota service technician said the rotors were not turned after my last Just Brakes visit. Even though they identified warping on the rotors, they could still be turned. Since they were under warranty, I took
them back to Mansfield Just Brakes in July 2012.
I explained to Mgr. Charles what Toyota said. He said the rotors were too warped & needed replacement. He also said the rotors affected the calipers.
Because of this, he wanted to replace the rotors, calipers, & would warranty out the brake pads & drums; costing me only $550. Despite what Toyota said, he insisted this extra work was necessary for the safe repair of my car. I asked if hed put the same ceramic pads that Tim Galvan put on my car. Charles said that Tim used the same brake pad that every Just Brakes location used. Charles said that Tim lied to me.
I decided to have the work done by Toyota. They checked the brakes & all the hardware. They were able to turn the rotors. When I picked up my car, I paid $99 & my brakes worked like newlike before taking it to Charles. This was a clear indication that Just Brakes is running a shady operation. They definitely have the customer service down; now they need to work on the trust, support, integrity, & respect for the customer & their hard-earned money!

The global airline industry performs around 32 million commercial flights transporting 3 billion passengers each year. Nevertheless, the actual profitability of most carriers is still heavily reliant on the efficiency of operations management during seasonal demand changes. As a result, while during the low season airlines tend to roll back their operations in order to crop excessive spending, for contractual pilots this usually means respective changes in the number of jobs available. The question is, however, when a door closes, does a window really open?View more
This Tuesday the Russian flag carrier Aeroflot announced the welcoming of its first foreign pilot within its ranks thus marking the opening of a new yet small market for professionals with salaries resembling the ones in Asia. However, while the Russian carrier had 10 candidates to a single place competition with over 800 applications received, it seems that most operators from other booming markets are losing their luck when it comes to recruiting experienced flight crews, as European pilots are becoming increasingly reluctant to move outside their home region.View more

However, as even the major players have recently started to cancel their development plans due to lowering demand and profitability issues, the majority of carriers in Russia might want to consider re-inventing their HR-related strategies in order to gain more flexibility.View more

Reasons to Say Yes to TimeShares and Their Benefits
Timeshare resorts offer some of the nation's best vacationing. If you've never checked out timeshares or are not familiar with them, here's a basic primer. A timeshare is a resort where the property is owned by a group of people who wish to use the property for vacationing, and split the costs of ownership and maintenance, usually hiring a professional staff to maintain the property. Owners are usually allowed a certain number of days of usage per year at no additional cost, or at a very modest price. As an example, a popular timeshare in Branson, Missouri with an extensive campground charges the members one dollar a day for the space used, which includes electricity and sewer hookups and use of community bath houses and recreation facilities. This timeshare includes shuffleboard, a game room, tennis courts, disc golf, walking and nature trails, bike paths, bicycle rentals, an indoor swimming pool, an outdoor swimming pool, and two fishing ponds for the youngsters. They also acquire for their owner members discount tickets to many area restaurants, music shows, and even the IMAX theatre located close by. Members at this resort are allowed to stay 21 days straight and then must leave for seven days before returning. This prevents people from actually making the timeshare their primary residence and keeping it as a vacation destination.
Many timeshares have joint usage agreements with other timeshares around the country, and even around the world. The Missouri timeshare owners can, for instance make use of timeshares in Hawaii or the US Virgin Islands if space is available. The same is true for members of other timeshares who can come and use the Missouri facility. Many timeshares are sold with the stipulation being that the owner has one week of use per year at the timeshare. Others have more flexible arrangements. Many also allow owners to give their week of use to friends or family members, as long as yearly maintenance fees are paid.
Why would someone want to purchase and use a timeshare? A timeshare owner is an actual owner of the property, and everyone prefers to own rather than rent. Also a timeshare offers a guaranteed vacation location every year. Additionally the flexibility of being able to make an exchange offers variety. Add to that the variety of timeshares available, and it is easy to see why timeshares are popular.
The concept of the timeshare was introduced in the 1960's by the owner of a ski resort in France. His proposal was that owning a set amount of time per year was preferable to renting the resort. The concept caught on, not only in France but world wide, with timeshares enjoying increasing popularity in the U.S.
One owner of the Missouri timeshare we discussed above is retired now. He owns memberships in two different timeshares, one in Missouri and the other in Florida, and divides his vacation time between the two locations, living permanently in a 24 foot travel trailer, complete with a satellite dish, television, stereo, a rack on the trailer for his bicycles, and all the fishing tackle he can carry. He is in fact so sold on the whole timeshare concept that he is considering buying a third membership in a Canadian timeshare company in order to spend time every year at Lake of the Woods, fishing for lake trout and muskee. He also plans to pass on his time share memberships to his children so that the family legacy can continue long after he is good, one of the benefits of timeshare ownership that he enjoys.
No matter what part of the country you live in, there are timeshare resorts available. Before making a purchase most timeshares will offer free tours and a free or reduced rate on a weekend stay to get a feel for the timeshare. This is a great way to make a determination on whether or not a timeshare is for you. While using your trial period, talk to a few of the timeshare owners and see how happy they are with their memberships. That will help you with your decision on membership. Whatever you decide, timeshares are great family vacation assets, so check them out carefully.

All-Inclusive Beach Resorts
Most of us never get to live the life of the rich and famous, taking lavish vacations and spending unlimited sums on the best of everything. Instead, we live the life of the rich and famous at all-inclusive resorts.
To be sure, budgets are a fact of life. But should having a spending limit necessarily mean suppressing all of your desires, just because they're not listed in your budget? Of course not. When you're on vacation, you deserve to be pampered. You've worked hard all year, and you've earned the right to eat, drink and go a little crazy.
Research and compare all-inclusive beach resorts, and you'll find that the packages, accommodations and resorts themselves can greatly vary. Some hotels offer packages that are designed for couples only. Others are created for singles, for gays or lesbians, or for families. Many beach resorts are intended for adults only, so be very careful if you're planning a family vacation.
Aside from the resorts themselves, vacation packages can vary in terms of the services they provide. Unfortunately, not everyone's perception of "all inclusive" is the same. Some include airfare and hotel. Others encompass airfare, hotel, transfers, and some meals. There are resort vacations that are all-inclusive, with the exception of airfare. Some beach resorts include all alcoholic drinks, as long as they're not premium brands, or served before 7 pm or after midnight. Compare prices and offers, and you'll find ways to save money. Including airfare as part of an all-inclusive package can be cheaper than booking and paying for your own flight, and will save you extra steps in planning your trip.
The greatest advantage to booking an all-inclusive beach resort vacation is having everything you need for just one price. Knowing this, you can relax and enjoy your holidays knowing there won't be any nasty surprises waiting at your destination. Your budget will stay intact, and all you'll have to worry about is whether to have the pina colada, or the marguerita.

I had actually gotten word from a close friend that he simply got back from an Orlando vacation and obtained a ticket deal of a lifetime. He had actually obtained an Orlando timeshare deal that included Universal Studios Florida tickets. He informed me that all he needed to do was participate in an Orlando timeshare tour and the tickets were his and he also go to vacation at the timeshare resort.
Good Deal on Theme Park Tickets
Now I don't know about you, yet that is a large amount of savings. Myself and other half were in no position to purchase a timeshare, yet we would want to take a timeshare tour to get Universal Studios park tickets for the household. This Orlando resort looked attractive from what we could view on their web site. We made a decision to go all out.
The Timeshare Was Just Awesome
When we reached the Orlando timeshare resort, we saw immediately that the site did not do the place justice. It was lovely and every little thing we wished for a family holiday. We visited the front check-in desk as well as signed in and quickly scheduled our timeshare tour for the next morning.
Not only did we would want to take a complete look at this area, we wished to obtain our Universal Studios park tickets a.s.a.p. We would like to ensure that while we were in Orlando, we could possibly reach Universal as many times as we could. The children were so excited, it got us adults excited also.
FREE Breakfast Included for Our Group
So when we woke up the following morning, we visited the morning meal they were hosting at the restaurant for all participants. Not only did we obtain a tgreatly discounted trip around this impressive location, we acquired a free breakfast that also the youngsters would certainly eat. While we consumed breakfast, our tour guide provided us some details concerning the timeshare deal that he had prepared for us. We listened closely while we ate, and also he had a respectable offer.
So after we went on the tour, we returned to the dining establishment where we began our day. Our guide asked us if we had chosen to buy the Orlando timeshare unit. We informed him that we would still need to speak it over as a famil. We also wanted to speak to our moms and dads to understand if it is something that they would certainly intend to do in addition to us. He told us that was a fair solution and that he wishes that when we choose to buy, hwe contact him. We informed him obviously we would certainly do just that. I imply, he did do all the work.
Provided Park Passes As Promised
He went over to his assistant that was sitting in a booth of the restaurant to obtain our Universal Studios tickets for our family. When he was walking back to us with the tickets, our youngsters started to hop up and down with excitement. They actually got hold of the tickets from him and said thank you to him and then turned to us and said, "Can we go now?" We told them of course an off we went.
Overall A Very Positive and Learning Experience
I should state that our experience with the tour was incredibly fantastic. When we returned home and spoke with our parents, we all decided to purchase another timeshare vacation package and join the program. We are now going to return to Orlando every single year. The most exciting part is, if we desire; we could trade for various other cities around the globe. We anticipate having remarkable times with our children.

What You Can Do If It Rains During Your Disney World Vacation
You've been looking forward to your Disney World vacation for months. You've packed your bags, bought your plant ticket or hopped in the car, checked into your hotel room, and are just about to go out and explore Disney World Park. Then… it gets cloudy overhead and starts to rain. Uh-oh, your day's ruined… or is it?
Here are some activities you can do at Disney World, even if Mother Nature is uncooperative:
– You can go to other attractions that take place indoors. For example, you can watch the Lion King or the Little Mermaid show, go on the Animation Tour, visit the Tower of Terror, or go see Pirates of the Caribbean or Dinosaur.
– You can still explore a park. The best ones to go to on a rainy day are Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Epcot Futureworld. A lot of attractions at these parks are close together under cover.
– You can watch a movie at AMC Theater Complex 24 at Downtown Disney's West Side. You're sure to find something you'll be interested in.
– You can hop on the monorail and take a tour of the resorts and what they have. Just ask to ride in the driver's cabin and enjoy exploring the Polynesian, Contemporary, and Grand Floridian resorts.
– If it starts raining on you while you're walking along the Boardwalk, scoot inside one of the restaurants or clubs nearby. You'll find family and luxury dining, sports bars, and a piano bar, among other things.
– Race a car, go golfing or skiing, or try other video simulator games and activities courtesy of the ESPN Club. You can also visit video arcades inside the Disney World resorts.
– Create your own roller coaster ride at DisneyQuest. This interactive theme park is an indoor, weather-protected attraction at Downtown Disney's West Side. You'll find great family entertainment here with games, simulators, high-tech rides, and virtual reality activities.
– You can also enjoy activities on a rainy night! Hop on over to Downtown Disney's Pleasure Island, or treat yourself to a House of Blues concert at Downtown Disney's West Side.
You might also be able to catch some fireworks at Magic Kingdom or the Epcot Center. They won't be canceled due to rain, and with more people choosing to call it a night or head inside, you can find a good vantage point.
– Of course, you can always choose to brave the weather and go to Disney World Park anyway! Others will leave the park, which means shorter lines for you. So buy yourself a poncho, and have an extra pair of socks and shoes handy in case you need them, and take advantage of an emptier park.
Don't let rainy weather stop you from having a ball at Walt Disney World. As long as you have a backup plan, you won't skip a beat. Always keep an eye out for other activities you can do, and you'll have a vacation you'll never forget.

Incredibly Over the Top Fun at Universal Studios Florida
But Universal Studios offers some tremendous attractions and has its own, unique rhythm to compel vacationers through its turnstiles. Like its sister park, Islands of Adventure, nearly every major attraction features loud, kinetic, frantic action. It is one over-the-top moment after another.
Universal Studios Florida opened in May 1990 as Universal's first park after the original Universal Studios in Hollywood and it is located in the Universal Orlando Resort, on the southeast side of Orlando, 10 minutes north of Walt Disney World. The least crowded seasons are from Labor Day to Thanksgiving and from mid-February to mid-March.
Universal Orlando Resort is way more than a theme park.
There is a wealth of dining options throughout the resort.
Orlando is also home to some of the best shopping in the States.
Join Princess Fiona and our heroes on an all new honeymoon adventure picking up where the Oscar-winning movie "Shrek" left off.

What Are The Top Ten Orlando Holiday Attractions
Orlando is world-famous for its huge theme parks and water parks, but they can get very crowded, so it's best to get there before 8.30am, or go after 4.00pm in the afternoon. You'll still have plenty of time if you go late afternoon, since most are open until 10pm or later, depending on the season. Be sure to plan your day at the park ahead of time, and take plenty of water and sunscreen.
Sea World
Wet 'N' Wild
Discovery Cove
Innovative rides and attractions are scattered throughout this Universal theme park: Marvel Super Hero Island where Super Heroes battle diabolical Super Villains; Suess Landing with its Dr Suess characters; Lost Continent, a land of heart-stopping adventure; Jurassic Park where dinosaurs co-exist with humans; and Toon Lagoon where everyone gets soaked on wild water rides.
Magic Kingdom – Disney World
Universal Studios
Both of these water parks have big water slides, a pool at the centre, a huge play area, and a 'lazy' river, where you can take a relaxing tube ride around the park. Typhoon Lagoon is the world's largest wave pool, where waves can reach six feet tall and you can surf here after hours. At Shark Reef you can snorkel with sharks, rays and tropical fishes.
Kennedy Space Centre Visitor Complex
Busch Gardens Africa

Orlando is Voted Top City for Family Vacations
As the home to Universal Orlando, SeaWorld and nearby Walt Disney World Resort, Orlando has long been known as a top travel destination.
According to a new survey from Travel + Leisure Magazine, the City Beautiful is the top U.S. travel destination for family vacations.
The 2014 "America's Favorite Cities" survey tallied more than 50,000 votes, ranking 38 U.S. cities in dozens of categories, from culture to quality of life.
Orlando only appears on the list once, as the top city for a family vacation. Tampa, home to Busch Gardens, Lowry Park Zoo and The Florida Aquarium, is No. 2 on the best cities for a family vacation list.
Tampa also ranked second in the beach getaway and rudeness categories, while ranking fifth in cleanliness and weather.
Residents of Miami are the most attractive, according to the survey, but also rank in the "rude" and "snobby" categories. Miami, known for its nightlife, tops the list for nightclubs and singles scene while ranking fourth overall in the nightlife category.
Thinking about taking a ski trip? Try Salt Lake City. And it you're looking for a romantic escape, Carleston, S.C., is the destination for you.
If you're a fan of specialty food markets, Houston might be right for you. If flea markets are your thing, look no further than Kansas City, Mo.
New Orleans tops the wild night category, while Nashville ranks as the best place for a girlfriend getaway.
View the gallery above for the top five cities for a family vacation and the top five overall cities, according to the 2014 survey. You can view the rankings of all 67 categories here.

7 New Exciting Hotels Planned at the Walt Disney World Resort
The designer of the first 2 resorts at Disney's Flamingo Crossings stated Thursday he prepares to construct 7 hotels and resorts on the resort property within the following four or 5 years.
"In a number of years, this will certainly look vastly various around here," John Rubini mentioned to a crowd gathered for groundbreaking on the project's very first two resorts.
TownePlace Suites, Marriott's extended-stay brand, and SpringHill Suites, one more Marriott brand should open by January 2016. Just between them, they will have 500 spaces.
Don't be surprised to find some of these exciting hotels in our Disney Orlando vacation packages.
Flamingo Crossings, regarding half a mile from Walt Disney World's western entry, is aimed at budget tourists and teams taking part in events at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.
Rubini said he wants to reveal plans for 2 additional hotels and resorts within a year and have them open by 2017.
By doing this, four resorts would be open to benefit from Avatar land opening at Animal Kingdom, he stated.
Rubini's Alaska-based company, JL Properties Inc., has until now specialized in workplaces as well as multifamily housing. Rubini said the company has actually only established another resort in the past– a SpringHill Suites in midtown Fairbanks, Alaska. Rubini stated he was intrigued by the probabilities that Flamingo Crossings presents.
Flamingo Crossings hotels will be what Rubini called "limited-service flags"– name-brand but relatively inexpensive hotels with fewer fuss than various other on Disney property accommodations.
"We see a job right here that will certainly serve a different sector of the marketplace," he stated. "It's clearly not the same as a complete resort hotel.".
To attract athletes, the very first 2 hotels and resorts will certainly showcase a shared recreational area with two batting cages, a basketball court and also a multipurpose practice area.
The advancement is "simply an organic growth of the west side of the property now that the facilities has caught up," claimed Duncan Dickson, associate teacher at UCF's Rosen College of Hospitality Management, in an e-mail.
Visitors from the south and also west don't need to become "mesmerized in the whole I-4 morass," he composed. "Interestingly, staying on the west side of Disney makes travel to SeaWorld or Universal Studios that much more difficult. We will have to see if those guests venture over to the I-4 corridor.".
Disney initially revealed the Flamingo Crossings job in 2007 however it stalled in the financial decline that struck Central Florida et cetera of the nation.

Handling Orlando Travel Arrangements For Your Family Vacation
You've probably always wanted to go to Disney World, so you started looking into vacation packages for you and your family, so now you know where you'll be going, for how long, and the tourist attractions that you'll go to during your vacation. But what's next is to finalize these arrangements so that you and your family can take that dream vacation to Orlando.
You'll also want to make sure that your travel arrangements are well taken care of so no problems occur during your vacation, and even while going there. Finding help on how to arrange your Orlando vacation travel shouldn't be so bad if you know where to look.
Taking air travel packages to Orlando
If you want minimal fuss and travel time while going to Orlando, taking a plane to go there is an easy option to pick. After all, travel time is significantly reduced when going by plane and you won't have to worry about taking wrong turns and getting lost on the way. There are vacation packages for the whole family so that you can get big savings if you book your flights as a family because of discounted group rates.
You can take advantage of these savings by either using the amount on your vacation or you can take seats in business class instead, so that you'll have premium service starting from the airport itself, all the way to the airport in Orlando.
Everyday flights to Orlando
Orlando International Airport is located only 35km east away from Disney World, and it handles roughly 32 million passengers each year, and that number is growing. The airport serves international and domestic flights to and from the city, so wherever you might be coming in from, you can find a carrier that has Orlando as its destination.
The domestic carriers that are flying in also have planes servicing this route daily. The main airlines include Continental, Delta, and American Airlines covering most of the flights there. There are also budget carriers present in Orlando International like Sprint and Jetblue. Other European carriers have frequent flights to Orlando, like British Airways who fly in daily from London. You can find everything you need at this airport like a full-service bank, a hotel, and shops and restaurants operating onsite. There are also car rental services present in the premises as well, like Avis and Budget.
Traveling within the city
If you've hired a rental car to take you wherever you might want to go within Orlando, you'll just need GPS or a map to guide you on how to get there. However, you can also take the public transportation like taxis or buses to get where you want to go.
Taxis are no problem in Orlando, and with buses, you can use the free travel guides provided by travel agencies for instructions to get to tourist destinations and hotels. There are also airport shuttle services available that will take you directly to your hotel so you don't have to get lost in downtown travel.
Of course, you'll have to decide beforehand where you want to stay, whether it's a hotel or renting a villa or at a resort. Planning this ahead of time can net you big savings on your vacation budget, and have some extras left for souvenirs or whatever you want to use the money on.
But the biggest bonus to planning your Orlando vacation travel ahead of time is that you'll minimize problems and have a wonderful journey going there.
