If I go to Disney World, I’m looking at organizing transatlantic flights, hotels, restaurants and all the other associated tourist costs. To be able to visit Disney World without all that additional expense sounds like a dream come true. Imagine being able to buy discounted annual pass and be able to take the kids to any of the Disney parks whenever you felt like it.
