    Radisson Hotel Orlando-Lake Buena Vista

    The Radisson in Celebration is great. I was a little worried the first time I booked there because of negative reviews but I loved it there. The new Radisson on 535 is in a great location. You are very close to downtown disney and there are plenty of things to do in your immediate area.

    Tips for tipping please!!

    As far as restaurants and bars you should always tip. Unless the bottom of the check states that an 18% gratuity was already added. Some disney properties do add 18% and most don't. Normal tipping here in america should be somewhere in between 15-20 percent. With the decline in the economy I...

    Pointing is not allowed

    When I worked at the Trump Palace in Miami we were required to use an open hand and a sweeping motion with our arm. I really don't think anyone noticed. I usually pointed because my position was secure and management needed me.
