Recently, a Disney hotel executive was named to an organization that helps provide hygiene products to communities in need. Vice president of lodging for Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Mark Zucker was recently selected to join the board of directors for the Clean the World Foundation.

Clean the World, which is based in Orlando, aims to provide recycled soap and shampoo to poverty-stricken areas across the nation to help combat illness stemming from lack of hygiene products.

The Disney Swan and Dolphin resorts are offering some nice deals and activities in honor of this country's space legacy.

First off, the iconic Disney hotels are putting forth a twenty percent discount on rooms for all guests with their Salute to Space package. Room rates start at $129 per night. The package also entitles guests to additional savings for National Car Rental which will enable exploration of Florida's Space Coast. The Salute to Space package is good for stays this year through December 25.

The Enchanted Tiki Room, a Magic Kingdom attraction that can trace its roots back to the early days of the park, will be opening its doors to guests in less than two weeks.

Guests taking in the new and improved version of the Tiki Room will be treated to updated and remastered audio as well as a "state of the art show-control system."
