Here are some expert tips to help you get started:
Plan. Use a resource guide such as wdwanswerguide.com or a no-fee, Authorized Disney Vacation Planner
Let everyone have a say in the plan, including the kids and make sure everyone has a chance to share their own "must see"
attractions. This is very important.
You also want to plan ahead for dining reservations. It can be difficult to think about where you want to dine months in
advance but it's a must. You don't have to plan every meal, but make reservations for the restaurants you must try as far out
as 6 months in advance. Call 1-407-WDW-DINE for assistance.
Keep it simple. Walt Disney World Resort has enough fun for 10 vacations. You are only taking one vacation. Keep it simple.
Don't over-schedule. Based on your research and the recommendations of friends and family, decide on a few "must-do"
adventures and leave the rest of the time for discovery and surprises.
Use a Guide Map. Upon entering each park, pick up a free guide map and an entertainment schedule. They are usually
available in racks at the park entrances and at retail locations. Use them to help plan your tour of the parks and to find out
show/parade times.
Be flexible. Be prepared to make fun out of the unexpected. The most memorable moments at WDW come from those small
moments that you can't plan for, such as a character greeting or discovering a winding path and following it to see where it
goes. You won't be able to plan for these moments and remember, it's perfectly alright to adjust your itinerary as needed.
Take a break. One of the benefits of staying at a Disney resort is that they all have terrific themed swimming pools. During
busy vacation times, many guests take a mid-day break from the theme parks and treat the kids to a swim. Or a nap. If
leaving the park is not an option, plan to see shows and parades. Find a restaurant, even if you only want a snack. Look for
air conditioned buildings too.
Arrive Early. Parades, stage shows, and fireworks, are extremely popular and guests will begin staking out their spots 30-40
minutes prior. Arriving early, take a break and maybe have a snack.
Stay on property. Walt Disney World Resort offers a variety of accommodations to meet guests' vacation budgets. The hotels
are convenient to theme parks, provide the assurance of Disney-caliber service and include benefits such as exclusive time
in the theme parks -- up to 16 "Extra Magic Hours" each week.
Plan to spend a minimum of three nights. Vacationers are drawn to Walt Disney World Resort for its four theme parks. The
four parks are very different experiences. Each is worth a visit. Don't plan to do more than 2 parks in one day. Three parks in
one day is possible but at a grueling pace. Many guests will choose one park in the morning and one in the evening, with an
afternoon break at the hotel.
Customize your tickets. With Disney's "Magic Your Way," you decide how many days you want to go to the theme parks. You
decide if you want to park hop -- that is, visit more than one park on a day. You decide if you want to go to attractions outside
the theme parks -- such as the Disney water parks. And longer stays mean savings per day on tickets. Admission prices
increase only a couple of dollars after day 4, so you're main expense will be your hotel room.
Use Disney transportation. Disney-veteran vacationers may know the "quick way" to the fun using personal transportation.
But for first-timers, use Disney buses, monorails and watercraft. They are care-free. Those rides can be part of the fun. When
using Disney transportation, plan on you're trip lasting about 30 minutes or so to get to your destination. Remember, WDW is
over 43 square miles!
