How To Plan A Amazing Disney Trip
Visiting Walt Disney World can be a fun, unforgettable trip whether you are newlyweds, a family, a retired couple, or a single. However, there is a long list of things to do and see. It can seem overwhelming. Here are some helpful tips to planning your Disney trip that will help to make this getaway the best one you have ever had.
Plan Your Vacation Ahead of Time
You will want to start planning for your Disney trip as far in advance as you can. Going to the Disney website (Disney.com) can help you find rates on Disney passes, resort fares and other information that will help you plan a budget and save for your trip. The Disney site can also provide you with transportation options and you can also get park maps and see the latest events.
What is The Best Month To Go To Disney?
If you can, it is best to visit Disney World during the late autumn or winter months. Summer can be very hot and muggy in Orlando which can tire you quickly and leave you with less energy to see and do everything you would like. The summer months when the kids are out of school also means large crowds in lines for attractions and other shows.
How Will You Get There?
How will you get to Disney World? If you are driving make sure that you have enough vacation time to get to Florida, do everything you want to do, and get back without feeling stressed. The entire purpose of your vacation is to relax and you can’t do that if you are always running around. If you decide to fly, make sure you have booked Orlando airport transportation when you get here to take you to your resort.
Where Will You Stay and For How Long?
Decide if you will be staying on or off property when you visit Disney World. The Park itself has somewhere in the vicinity of twenty five motels running from budget to five star. While staying on site at the park is a bit more expensive than staying in or near Orlando it does have some advantages.
A majority of the on site motels have some sort of free or low cost transportation to the 4 major amusement parks. If you do this you won’t have to rent a car or pay for parking. You can even get your passport tickets at the desk in the hotel rather than waiting in line at the gate. As an added bonus a lot of the hotels themselves have a specific theme which will allow you to soak up even more of the special Disney atmosphere while relaxing by the pool or eating a romantic dinner.
If you are staying for 5 days or more than the 5 day hopper pass will save you money. It allows you to visit all four of the Disney major parks plus your choice of one of the minor attractions also.
Plan a Schedule
Plan a schedule for each day. Simple is better; do not attempt to schedle an event for every hour. Simply include a few must see attractions and events, an afternoon break to rest and recooperate and then allow the rest of the time for anything that looks interesting.
With some simple planning, you can have a good, even great, Disney vacation.
