Are you looking for that perfect getaway this winter? Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida may just be your ticket. Here are my top 10 "hot tips" for warming up with Mickey this winter.

1. Value Season Rates. Keep your wallet warm with rock-bottom prices at Disney resort hotels from early January through mid-February, which is also a period of lower attendance (and fewer crowds).

2. Year of a Million Dreams Celebration. Come celebrate latest hoopla, see new attractions like "Finding Nemo--The Musical" and Laugh Floor Comedy Club, and maybe even win one of the million "dreams" that Disney is awarding.

3. Golf! Enjoy Walt Disney World's 99 holes of championship golf. Greens fees include transportation to and from your Disney resort. Or try your hand at miniature golf at Disney's Winter Summerland or Fantasia Gardens, each with two 18-hole courses.

4. Disney's free, on-site transportation. Once you've checked into your Disney resort (or campsite), buses, boats and monorails can take you anywhere you want to go on Disney property.

5. The kids (and grandkids). Few places better than Walt Disney World for family togetherness and warm smiles.

6. Annual Pass and AAA Discounts. These hot, money-saving deals are more widely available in this year of decreased travel, even for Peak Season vacationers.

7. Winter cruise discounts. This is usually a great time to sail -- prices are lower and the risk of bad weather is minimal. Why not add a tropical Disney cruise onto your winter Disney vacation?

8. Gas. Prices are gradually coming down.

9. Disney's own Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground. One of America's top-rated campgrounds is just across the water from Disney's Magic Kingdom. Location, location, location.

10. It just feels great! Few destinations are cleaner, friendlier, or safer than Walt Disney World. Be prepared to leave your frown (and worries) at the door.
