The Weather Channel has extended its popular travel-planning resource, Destination Guides, in order to help the millions of consumers each year who travel to Disney parks and cruise lines. To help visitors get the most out of their vacation, the new section offers tools to plan an ultimate Disney vacation with park information, tips, suggestions and detailed weather forecasts. Using TWC’s “Best Time to Visit” patented method for climate-based “best time to” recommendations (U.S. Patent #7,212,922), visitors can see the warmest, coldest, driest and wettest months along with average temperatures and average rainy, sunny and cloudy days.

In celebration of the new content, through April 2, The Weather Channel is giving visitors to weather.com online or on mobile the chance to enter to win a grand prize of a Disney Cruise. Visitors to www.weather.com/disneycruise, also can play a game daily for a chance to instantly win more prizes.

Like it or not, the weather effects us every day. We need to know how to dress our kids, plan our day so we miss the rain while getting the groceries out of the car and know if we need a plan B for Susie’s birthday party at the park. This winter has shown us that we need to know in advance what is coming so that we can be prepared.

Here in Florida we have had an unseasonable long, cold winter. Last week we hit 70 degrees one day and then it was back to the 40s. This Saturday I am heading to Epcot for the Flower and Garden Festival, I hate lugging a sweatshirt around the park all day if I don’t need it so I went to AccuWeather to check on Saturday’s forecast for the Orlando area. Unfortunately, I’m going to need that sweatshirt because the high is only expected to hit 65!

While I was on the AccuWeather website I looked around at all of the cool new features on the site. It has four new lifestyle areas Weather and Travel, Weather and Home & Garden, Weather and Outdoor Activity and Weather and Health. They have new forecasts that allow you to plan business, recreation, travel, exercise, medication, and more. Next time you need to plan your day according to the weather check out AccuWeather.
