Travel in county Park

Both Walt Disney World and Disneyland will roll out a brand new system that will allow guests to join a Lightning Lane queue without a reservation — but it'll cost you.The Lightning Lane Premier Pass will use dynamic pricing based on demand and date of visit. Prices will also vary by theme park and are expected to range from $129 to $449 per person, per day — with the highest prices will occur during peak travel periods, like Christmas and New Year’s.  Those eligible can purchase Lightning Lane Premier Pass up to seven days before their date of check-in at 7:00 AM ET and for their entire length of stay, up to 14 days. The pass can be purchased in the My Disney Experience app.

When I set out to ride my bike from Pittsburgh to Washington, DC, I wasn't quite sure what to expect.

Wyndham Hotels and Resorts is introducing its Microtel by Wyndham Brand to India – its eighth brand in the country – through a development agreement with NILE Hospitality.

Psst. We’re going to let you in on a secret. Lake Tahoe doesn’t disappear after Labor Day… but the summer crowds do. That means less traffic, fewer hikers on the trails, and beaches you barely have to share. Campsites get easier to book, too, so you can marvel at the autumn hues reflecting on Big Blue on a spur-of-the-moment getaway.

The famed Road to Hana on Hawai’i’s Maui island starts in Kahului, near the airport. It traverses 63 miles and a seemingly endless stretch of one-lane bridges and switchbacks — taking you past some of the planet’s loveliest waterfalls and hiking trails. It’s a drive that embodies the journey-is-the-destination mindset. So why not keep the journey going a little longer by breaking it up with some overnight stays? Add in some beachside camping and waterfall hiking without having to skimp your time in the destination itself.

It’s easy to overlook Torrance, California. The modest city barely registers as a blip on the radar alongside the 110 Interstate, but it’s more than a place you pass en route to somewhere else.

The Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida has just announced that one of its fan-favorite attractions in the Magic Kingdom Park will be shut down for renovations for an entire year. 

My family of six recently visited both Disneyland and Universal Studios Hollywood.

Little more than a decade ago, Nashville, a.k.a. Music City, wasn’t so much a tourist town as it was a destination for musicians — a place where performers like Taylor Swift could still play the Bluebird Cafe without creating a scene.

It’s good to be king for a day, and it’s even better if it’s onboard the Palace on Wheels, India’s first luxury and heritage train which continues to charm travelers since its launch in 1982. The luxe locomotive, decked in imperial finery, has long been a time portal back to a world of maharajas wearing bejeweled aigrettes and drinking out of crystal goblets. This train is so beloved that it came in first place in a ranking of Condé Nast Traveler readers’ favorite rail journeys in the world for this year’s Readers’ Choice Awards.

Skiing has long had a reputation as a sport for the wealthy. Since its introduction to North America in the early 20th century, it's typically been reserved for those who can afford to take time off from work to spend exorbitant amounts of money traveling to far-flung destinations like Colorado, Idaho and New England.

Dangling my feet over the bank of a fast-running creek, I watched the sunlight filter through a leafy canopy above me. Here, in the middle of a city of three million people, I felt utterly alone, and though I was loath to admit it, a little disoriented. But that was why I had come.

Ongoing hotel strikes across the country are now impacting operations at two Hilton-affiliated properties in Boston. This time, the strikes are indefinite.

Colorado’s Rocky Mountain National Park will close the Old Fall River Road to vehicles this week.

When I picture a road trip, I see images of two carefree people in a convertible traversing Route 66. There are no kids in the picture, and I'm not even sure there is luggage. It feels so easy and inexpensive. A road trip with kids, however, is a different experience, especially when those kids are teenagers.

Fall in NYC comes as a relief. The city in summer has its virtues—emptier streets, more easily-acquired reservations at most of the best restaurants—but the heat and the reek of garbage baking in it more than wear out that season’s welcome well before September slouches, sweating, into frame. Flattering it is not that autumn follows on its heels, not only turning off the oven but also invigorating New Yorkers who can now don the jackets they are so proud of and walk at their usual bracing clips without perspiring quite so readily.

Disneyland Resort just rolled out discounts for kids and hotel stays next year.
