Coming in across the Serengeti plains for a landing in the small six-seater aircraft, I spotted a herd of something below. Gazelle? Impala? It was definitely some sort of antelope. And in the midst of them, something raised its long and graceful head far above the others. My heart skipped a beat — it was a giraffe! I was seeing a real, live giraffe in the wild, in its natural habitat in Tanzania, with my very own eyes!

A trip to Walt Disney World can be very rewarding - both relaxing and fun -  but in order to fully take advantage of all the opportunities open to you on your trip while still enjoying the moment, you have to be properly prepared. A little bit of planning goes a long way into improving your trip and making sure that your vacation is really a break from stress, not a cause of it.
