Follow The Urge To Splurge, Disney Style
Yes, yes. I know what you're thinking. "With this economy is she crazy to even suggest splurging at Walt Disney World? Well, yes. What's wrong with indulging yourself now and then? I'm certainly not proposing that you act on all of these ideas, but one or two on your next trip to Walt Disney World will add even more magic to your vacation plans. Here are my favorite extravagances:
Tour Like Royalty. When money is no object and you desire a personalized tour of the parks with no worries or cares, there's nothing better than a Disney VIP Tour. Priced from $175 per hour with a six-hour minimum, don't expect to move to the front of the line, but do expect plenty of help with the FASTPASS system, a customized itinerary, great seats for parades or live shows, and priority dining. For another $120 per day get private transportation to and from your resort with special back-gate entrance into the theme parks. For a super splurge choose the new Premium option beginning at $275 per hour which includes private transportation to and from the parks and more flexibility in obtaining FASTPASS which translates into automatic front-of-the-line access to the biggest attractions. Those with smaller budgets should consider outside VIP tour options with companies like Michael's VIPs, Suntastic Tours, and Elite Orlando VIP Tours whose prices begin at $100 per hour.
Spring for a Suite. I can think of nothing better than a sumptuous suite. The sense of luxury and indulgence, extra room to spread out, and concierge amenities that go along with it all add up to one perfect vacation. Suites at Walt Disney World come in all shapes and sizes, but nothing can beat Disney's signature suites like the Royal Assante Presidential Suite at the Animal Kingdom Lodge with its circular thatched ceiling and sweeping view of the resort's savanna. Or the turn-of-the-century style of the Boardwalk Inn's Steeplechase Suite with its unbelievable vista ofCrescentLake and Spaceship Earth.
Pamper Yourself. After a couple of park-filled days, you'll want to kick back a little. Try soothing your jangled nerves and tired body at one of Disney's spas. Immerse yourself in luxury with a feel-good treatment or two guaranteed to rejuvenate and swiftly get you back on your feet and ready for another long day of walking the parks. You'll find great spas at the Grand Floridian,Saratoga Springs, and the Walt Disney World Dolphin, each with its own signature treatment. For an East meets West approach and a luxurious setting, you can't go wrong with the Dolphin's Mandara Spa where tea is taken in a lovely hand-carvedMeruTemple garden, and a Balinese massage is one of many ways to indulge yourself. Or opt for a poolside massage in your own private cabana at the Grand Floridian Resort.
Dine in Style. Fine dining in a lovely setting combined with virtually flawless service set Victoria and Albert's apart. Tables are laid with Wedgwood china, Christofle silver, Frette linens, and Riedel crystal. A seasonal prix fixe menu includes six sumptuous courses that can be made truly exceptional with a wine pairing service (recommended!). Indulge in one exemplary dish after another, every morsel with its own distinct flavor, no one ingredient overwhelming another—food doubling as incredibly edible art. Those seeking a special evening should book the chef's table, set in a kitchen alcove and perfect for an up close, behind-the-scenes look at Disney's top chef in action.
Spoil Your Princess. The Grand Floridian's My Disney Girl's Perfectly Princess Tea Party is the ultimate treat for your special little princess. For a princely sum, young royalty and their parents meet with Princess Aurora during an elegant tea along with storytelling, sing-alongs, and a Grand Princess Parade through the resort's lobby. She'll leave with a My Disney Girl Princess Aurora doll, a sparkling tiara and bracelet, and – most important – the brightest smile you've ever seen.
Fire Up Your Evening. Depart from the docks of Disney's Yacht Club for a special viewing of Illuminations, or from the MagicKingdom resorts to see the Wishes fireworks display in your own private boat complete with driver and snacks. Anchoring at the perfect viewing spot facing theMagicKingdom or under theInternationalGatewayBridge at Epcot, settle in just minutes before the nighttime spectacular begins. There's nothing quite so magical as gazing upon the glistening water of Disney's best fireworks presentations. And to make your floating party genuinely special order a nice bottle of wine ahead from Private Dining.
For the ultimate splurge consider chartering the 52- foot Grand I Yacht with your own private butler, a perfect indulgence for pampered VIPguests. Your own captain and deckhand are included, but consider a sunset gourmet dinner onboard complete with private butler service followed by champagne while viewing the MagicKingdom's Wishes fireworks extravaganza.
Hit the Water. For true action head to the Contemporary Resort, where waterskiing, kneeboarding, wakeboarding, and tubing are a major pastime. Or consider a guided Personal Watercraft excursion onBayLake and the Seven Seas. There's nothing better than being out on the water in the gorgeousFlorida sunshine with Cinderella's Castle as the perfect backdrop.
So don't waste your urge to splurge on just any old thing. Think special and go for the magic, Walt Disney World style.

2011 Snowboarding Events in Canada
Canada is home to some of the most fantastic ski and snowboarding resorts. It's a world famous destination for skiers and snowboarders of all abilities, and hosts some of the most spectacular snowboarding events each year.
During the winter season, the country is bursting with various snowboarding events for any boarder to marvel at. There are so many different events from local to regional and national snowboarding championships that it would be impossible to name them all.
There are however, the biggest, best and most popular events to name. The start of 2011 is slap bang in the middle Canada's ski and snowboarding season, which culminates towards the summer months (these can vary between locations as Canada is such a vast country).
So what are the 2011 snowboarding events in Canada? Well to start off, there's the FIS (international Ski Federation) Noram Cup. The North-American Cup, or Noram Cup as its better known, is part of the Canada Snowboard Tour. The first event in the FIS Noram Cup is the snowboard cross event. This takes place on the 15th and 16th January at Big White Ski Resort in British Columbia. This particular event is hosted by BC Snowboard.
The Noram Cup continues in February on the 12th and 13th in Le Relais, Quebec. This time the events covered in the competition include the Parallel Giant Slalom (PGS) and Parallel Slalom (PSL). This particular event is hosted by Snowboarding Quebec.
Next up we have the LG Snowboard FIS World Cup, arguably one of the biggest and most popular events on the snowboarding calendar. To start off we have Snowboard Cross, the Half Pipe, Big Air and PGS covered on February 17th – 20th. This takes place in Stoneham, Quebec. The LG Snowboard FIS World Cup event continues a couple of weeks later in Calgary, Alberta on 24th – 26th February where the Half Pipe and Slopestyle will take to the stage.
Then we move onto the national championships, the favoured for any patriotic Canadian, as this is the pinnacle event of the season. There are two events that cover either style or speed.
First up we have the Canada Snowboard Nationals covering style. This event takes place between March 14th and 20th at the Canada Olympic Park in Calgary, Alberta. The type of snowboarding styles competing will be the Half Pipe and Slopestyle.
Finally rounding off the season, there is the Canada Snowboard Nationals, focussing on Speed. This event takes place on Lake Louise in Banff, Alberta and runs from April 7th to April 11th. The events competing in this one are Snowboarding Cross and PGS.
So there you have a number of key national and international events taking place in the heart of Canada's ski and snowboarding season. These are huge events, watched by the world over so if you are thinking of spectating at one, then it is advisable to book well in advanced.
For more information on any of these events you should either visit the organising bodies website, so for example the International Ski Federation or Canada Snowboard. Alternatively you could visit the website of the host of the event, for example, Snowboarding Quebec or BC Snowboard.
There is a plethora of alternative snowboarding events right down to regional and local level. Understandably the standard and ability will not be as high as the national or international events, but are nonetheless just as entertaining.
If you're either a beginner just starting out or a seasoned snowboarder, watching these types of events can give any budding snowboarder the motivation to take to the piste and maybe compete themselves one day!

First Communion Medals Are Perfect Gift For Boys Or Girls Celebrating This Holy Day Of The Sacrament
If you have a First Communion in the near future then your life is likely a flurry of preparations, and we feel for you. However, there is an important part of the first holy communion ceremony that you don't want to miss. First Communion medals are an integral part of your coming-of-age party and you'll want to choose wisely.
There are many First Holy Communion medals to choose from including medals that were constructed in stunning displays of gold or silver. There are many different types of materials for 1st Communion medals and the in-stock pieces have the words First Communion, or some variation, inscribed upon them, or you can have your own personal inscription.
While you are shopping religious medals keep in mind that you'll want something high quality to mark this event, as it is an important time for both you and your child as they take on the responsibilities of a full fledged Church member and you'll want a keepsake that will match that level of important. This is why materials like gold and silver are a great choice for First Communion jewelry.
This beautiful tradition has been around for many centuries and Catholic medals will remind children of the vows that they are taking with Communion and what it means, as well remind them of their First Communion for a very long time to come, allowing them to wear the piece or to put it on display.
When choosing 1st Holy Communion medals there are some important things to keep in mind. This type of Catholic Jewelry comes in a variety of materials, we've already discussed that, but there are a few others things to look for when choosing First Communion medals. If you are shopping at a Catholic Bookstore, or online at a Catholic website, then much of the work may have been done for you.
You'll want to be careful that you don't pay too much for your First Communion medals by making sure that the material and craftsmanship is worth the price. Many places sell Catholic medals and they may mark up the price specifically because they are intended for First Communion, or based upon similar pieces that they have seen at Catholic bookstores and websites.
This is an item that you'll want to keep safe and nice, so the First Communion medal should come with a case and a chain. The chain should be sturdy with a good clasp so that the medal will not get lost accidentally, and the case should be decorative and made to display the medal in case your child wants to put it on a shelf or desk.
Your child's 1st Holy Communion is a special time of celebration and marks a very important time in their life, one that they will treasure forever and First Communion medals are a perfect way to celebrate that, allowing them a keepsake that they will continue to treasure as well as something they can actually wear to show their commitment to Christ and His Church.
