Hilton offers a $50 bonus; Best Western, a $100 gift card. But chains won’t match prices from opaque sites. Frequent guests earn free nights, future discounts, room upgrades, airline miles, and rental-car savings. Among other perks: access to hotel club lounges (Hyatt Gold Passport) and weekend discounts, fast check-in, and late checkout (Marriott Rewards). And you generally accrue points at any of a chain’s brands. Thus, if you belong to Hilton HHonors, you get points and receive benefits at the flagship Hilton nameplate or at DoubleTree, Embassy Suites, Garden Inn, Hampton Inn, or Homewood Suites. A 5- to 10-percent discount is the norm for older guests, particularly at lower-priced hotels. The discount might require an AARP affiliation. At Best Western, you need only prove you’re at least 55. Similar discounts often apply to those in the military, government employees, and members of groups such as AAA. Try mentioning other affiliations. At Ramada, for example, members of B.A.S.S., the Bass Anglers Sportsman Society, land 20 percent off the best available rate. Hoteliers quietly maintain a “fade” rate, the minimum they’ll accept per room for walk-in guests. A few years ago, it applied when occupancy was less than 30 percent, but Bjorn Hanson says some hotels may invoke the rate even if at 60 percent. If you’re ready to walk after hearing the lowest rate, the clerk may use the fade rate to earn at least some revenue from a vacant room. You could score a great rate, but be prepared for disappointment.
My second pick for the best Disney Value resort is Art of Animation. Disney’s Art of Animation is the newest Value resort and opened in 2012. It is located on the other side of Hourglass Lake, across from Pop Century. It takes less than 10 minutes to walk from the main building at one resort to the main building at the other. Several Walt Disney World Resort hotel pool refurbishments taking place early in the new year 3 years ago. Art of Animation, Animal Kingdom Lodge, Fort Wilderness and Saratoga Springs Resort are among the resorts with pool refurbishments planned.

All three pilots in the flight crew have equal levels of training, but they usually have varying degrees of seniority. At most airlines, the career track is based almost completely on length of service. To become a captain, you have to rise through the ranks and wait until it’s your turn and a position opens up. Seniority also dictates the sorts of planes a pilot flies, as well as his or her schedule. Pilots who are relatively new to the airline will fly reserve, meaning they do not have a set flying schedule. A reserve pilot may have “on call” duty for 12 hours or longer at a stretch. In this time, the pilot has to be packed and ready to fly, because the flight scheduler might page them at any moment. If a pilot is called in, he or she reports to the airport immediately for a flight assignment (for many airlines, the pilot must be ready to go within an hour of being paged).
Additionally, conferences can only cover so much travel and hotel costs for speakers so many conferences like to select multiple talks from the same speaker in order to reduce schedule impact. This is part of why you should submit multiple talks to the same conference. Why do abstracts get rejected? So, why do people like me rate sessions poorly? The topic of the talk is wrong for the conference’s theme or typical attendees. The approach of the talk is wrong for the audience (trying to give a mass-market keynote talk for non-tech professionals at a developer conference, for example). In conference selections you get usually one shot to select speakers and you want to select someone who’s going to give your conference and its attendees the attention and preparation they deserve. That means someone who’s going to follow directions / instructions, read emails from organizers, and put in the time and effort to deliver a great talk. I do note length of abstract in a few of those points above along with the talk title.
When I got home I had a look at The Hard Rock Hotel Tenerife reviews online and had to admit that it looked nice but my immediate thought was that it wouldn’t be child-friendly. A place like the Hard Rock had to be adults only, right? This was the best thing about The Hard Rock Hotel, it was SO child-friendly. But it wasn’t child friendly in a noisy, garish kind of way that you expect from family hotels. It was perfect for kids but kept the sophistication and style that parents are looking for. I’m not going to lie, from a distance The Hard Rock Hotel Tenerife isn’t exactly a beautiful building. In fact, it’s a bit of an eye sore. But once you’re inside you forget about those two towers and feel like you’re stepped into a stylish little world that I can guarantee you won’t want to leave. The child-friendliness of the hotel started with the doormen who playfully welcomed the boys with high-fives and jokes as they helped us out of the car and took the away to park it.
