Negotiate for More Vacation Time

If your company is typical, you get just a few short weeks of vacation a year. Here's how to wrangle for more.

Make a Vacation Packing List
Travel plans are very exciting. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in the destination, we forget the details. Planning ahead is the best way to assure a pleasurable vacation without fretting on the way to the airport about what you forgot to pack.

Vacation at a Club Med
One of the pioneers in all-inclusive vacation resorts, Club Med has instant name recognition for high-quality vacations. With more than 80 Club Med vacation spots in 25 countries around the world, Club Med offers practically every type of vacation a family could want. Here are some tips on how to book your next Club Med vacation.

Prepare and Pack for Disney World
Walt Disney World can be exhausting even to those who go often. If it is your first visit to the Florida theme parks, it is imperative that you pack light yet don't forget the little essentials that will make your vacation more enjoyable. This is especially true if you fly down and use Disney's Magical Express Service. If you forget to pack something and you don't have a car, you will feel really stuck if you have forgotten something. Start compiling your packing list a couple of weeks before your trip. You can save a few dollars on things you'll need if you don't have to buy them on Disney property.

Plan Your AAA Disney Vacation
AAA members enjoy a number of discounts to theme parks around the country, including Disneyland and Disney World. When planning a vacation, always contact your local AAA office to ask about special promotions and packages for Disney. They may know of promotions not yet available online. Because offers and discounts vary state by state, be sure to select the state-matching search and selection options when buying your ticket online.
