Good Things Come to those Who Wait

“Good things come to those who wait”.  That is an old adage  many of us have heard or said.  But sometimes life proves to the contrary.  If you wait to pay your car note, you might end up using public transportation.  Life demands prompt responses, it’s part of the adult reality. “He who hesitates, is lost” is more the modern day mantra. 

However, at Global, we recognize that there are times when you are planning a vacation that you simply have to wait.  We live in uncertain economic times.  Often we have unplanned and unexpected trips,  that require making quick decisions.  I have the pleasure of working in the Reservations Department at Global, and there are many times that I recieve a phone call from a guest who has to leave that very night , or by the end of the week.  In many of those cases, the guest is frantic, because it can be unnerving trying to find decent accommodations at a reasonable price, especially when it hadn’t been accounted for in the guest’s budget.  There are other times, when a guest receives an unexpected bonus, or just decides on a whim to surprise their loved ones with a Disney trip.  No matter the situation,  Global  offers big discounts on last minute Orlando resort stays for arrivals within the next 14 days.   You can actually reserve a 4 bedroom 3 bath home with a pool and spa, for only $79 dollars a night!!!  That’s more than a 50% discount!!!  We even have a 3 bedroom 2 bath condo in the gated Windsor Palms resort for only $60 a night, that’s a 63% discount.

For Global guests, it is true, that good things are still available to those who wait.  But don’t wait too long,  these deals are for a limited time only.

Sea World’s Spooktacular Halloween!

My family had the most amazing day at Seaworld’s Spooktacular Halloween event.  I wasn’t even aware that SeaWorld offered this incredible Halloween event,  I was already familiar with Disney’s “Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween”, and Universal’s “Halloween Horror Night”s and many of our guests come down at this time of year to take part in those events.  But SeaWorld’s Spooktacular Event was an unexpected surprise.

I’ve been to SeaWorld in the past, and have always loved this theme park.  I love the interactive aspect of SeaWorld.  The opportunity to feed dolphins and stingrays.   Children and adults alike experience such a thrill having  a hands-on-approach with nature.   The shows at SeaWorld are a combination of Broadway-meets-Cirque de Soliel–meets-Animal Kingdom.  We have always been enthralled by the acrobatic skills of the performers, as they dive from platforms high above our heads, and by dolphins that jump, flip, and spin to music,  while watching beautiful tropical birds in harmonious synchronized flight  all at the command of their trainers.

The Spooktacular event was just as enthralling .  The park was filled with children dressed as pirates,  superheros,  princesses, I even saw one child dressed as a cloud with rain!! The performers were a colorful array of customed mermaids,  sea fairies, octopuses , giant fish, and other sea creatures.  The children picked up candy bags at the park and could trick-or-treat at designated locations.  My 3 and 4 year old daughters were in complete awe with all the music and dancing, and of course, the unlimited candy.  My 10 and 12 year old, had just as much fun, filling their bags with candy and joining in the dances with the cast members.  At the end of the day,  we decided, that the SeaWorld Spooktacular would be part of our family’s Halloween tradition.
