A Different Sort Of Disney Vacation

Given how enormous Orlando, FL's DisneyWorld resort it, you could probably spend a month there and not see everything. But while the main parks and their hundreds of rides are definitely worth enjoying, there are some less well-known activities that you can participate in and enjoy.

1. Parasailing or waterskiing on the lagoon: Several companies offer these water activites by the Contemporary Resort, including K&M Parasail and Skydive City. Book a flight and you're in for a much different type of thrill than you get on Space Mountain.

2. Chef's Table Dinner at Victoria & Albert's: Disney has food for every budget from burger joints to high-end restaurants. However, if you truly want to splurge -- and c'mon, you are on vacation! -- V&A's (located in the Grand Floridian Resort) is the place to be. The Chef's Table dinner is an especially luxurious experience (you'll be shelling out more than $100 per person, but again -- VACATION!!), where you're served a sumptuous -- not to mention private -- 7-course meal, complete with a maid and butler! Plus, you get to meet the chef who worked so hard to prepare dinner for you.

3. DisneyQuest CyberSpace Mountain: If you're not up for Space Mountain or the other intense rides available in the parks, but still want more of an adrenaline rush than the Small World ride provides, why not take matters into your own hands and design your own roller coaster? The simulated ride, located in Downtown Disney's DisneyQuest gives you the chance to "build" a coaster, making it as intense as you desire. The information is then downloaded onto a disk, and when you enter the pod-shaped ride, you pop it in and voila -- you're on a "coaster." The technology is similar to the park's other simulated rides (like Star Wars in MGM) where the screen has a graphic of a coaster track and the pod shakes and spins so that you really do feel like you're moving. If the pod's a rockin', don't come a-knockin'...

4. "Roughing It" In Fort Wilderness: Though Disney has dozens of lovely hotels, those clammoring for some outdoors fun can actually camp on the property. Fort Wilderness offers sites ranging from basic pop-tent campsites to "preferred hook-up campsites," which have more amenities. And, of course, with this being Disney, there are air conditioned areas where you can cool off if the muggy Florida nights prove to be too uncomfortable.

5. See the World -- No, Really!: You can "see" much of the world by visiting Disney's Epcot park, but if you really want to travel, try the Adventures By Disney program. Disney offers tours to 22 places, including Costa Rica, Africa and Australia. By doing this, you can experience something new and enjoy Disney "World" quite literally.
