In a virtually perennial event, the big Florida parks usually adjust their prices upward in spring, just in time for the summer crush of visitors. This year, Walt Disney World (click on "vacations") increased its gate prices by $2 per ticket for single-day, single-park admission, bringing the cost to $46.64 for visitors 10 and older and $37.10 for those 3 to 9. Disney also introduced a new type of multipark pass, the Park Hopper Plus. The Park Hopper Plus is available in five-, six- and seven-day versions and allows unlimited admission to the theme parks and other Disney attractions in the Orlando area. The five-day pass costs $242.76 for the older visitors and $193.99 for the younger; the six-day is $274.57/$219.43; and the seven-day is $306.37/$244.89. Other types of passes also are available. For specifics, contact a travel agent or visit the Disney site. Universal Studios also raised its prices for Universal Studios Florida and the new Universal's Islands of Adventure to match the Disney single-park, single-day admissions. Ticket details are available at the Web site. Florida-bound families should be aware that a number of Disney competitors -- Universal Studios, Sea World, Wet'n Wild, Busch Gardens -- offer a multipark pass that's also worth considering. It's available from any of the participating parks.

I would like to know the location, phone number and e-mail of the Cassadaga Healing Center in Florida.

You're apparently referring to the small northern Florida town of Cassadaga, founded as a retreat for a religious group called the Spiritualists, with origins in New York state. It was chartered as the Southern Cassadaga Spiritualist Camp Meeting Association in 1894. The members of the group practiced Spiritualism, which teaches that there is life on a spirit plane after death, that there is a brotherhood of man, and that the living can communicate with and receive wisdom from the dead through trained mediums. Over time, Cassadaga has attracted other types of practitioners not related to the Spiritualists.

I don't know about the group you're interested in -- I find no Web presence for it -- but you can try the Cassadaga Spiritualist Camp Bookstore & Information Center, located in the Davis Building. The address is P.O. Box 319, Cassadaga, FL 32706, phone (904) 228-2880. The center does not have a Web site or e-mail address. Cassadaga is located between Daytona Beach and Orlando. Visitors can get off Interstate 4 at Exit 54, turn right onto Country 4139 (Cassadaga Road) at the first traffic light, continue about two miles to Cassadaga. The Cassadaga Hotel, completed in 1928, is at 355 Cassadaga Rd., Cassadaga, FL 32706; phone (904) 228-2323.
