Planning a trip to Disney World can feel like navigating a theme park-sized maze, but don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! I’ve gathered some of the most common Disney World questions I hear from clients and answered them all right here. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned Disney pro, this guide will help you plan a magical vacation, stress-free!
1. When is the best time to visit Disney World?
Ah, the golden question! The best time to visit Disney depends on what you're looking for. Want low crowds? Aim for mid-January to early February or late August to early September. Want cooler weather? Try November to December (just be ready for holiday magic—and crowds!). Ultimately, I can help you find the perfect time based on your priorities, whether it’s shorter lines or a specific season.
2. How much does a Disney World vacation cost?
I won’t sugarcoat it—Disney isn’t cheap, but it’s absolutely worth every penny! The cost of a Disney vacation can vary, depending on things like park tickets, hotel choices, and dining plans. But don’t worry, I’m here to help you get the most bang for your buck. Whether you’re looking for budget-friendly hacks or splurging on deluxe resorts, I’ll help you find a package that fits your wallet.
3. What’s the best Disney World hotel to stay at?
Staying on-site at Disney comes with magical perks like early park entry and free transportation. But with so many options, it’s easy to get overwhelmed! Are you all about luxury? Consider the Grand Floridian or Contemporary Resort. On a budget? Pop Century is a fan favorite. I’ll help you figure out the best fit for your family’s needs (and budget).
4. Do I really need the Lightning Lane pass or add-ons?
The new Lightning Lane system is here, and it's perfect for skipping the long lines. Staying on property gets you a major head start booking those magical rides. You can buy a single pass for certain rides or the multipass option, but is it worth it? That's where I come in! Let's talk options and what's important to your travel group to develop a plan!
5. How do I handle the parks with young kids?
As a mom of twins, I totally get this one! The key to a successful day with little ones? Snacks, breaks, and strollers (yes, Disney has rules on strollers!). Don't forget about Rider Switch for those bigger rides and build in time for nap breaks. Trust me, mid-day pool time at the resort is your new best friend. I’ll help plan your days so everyone stays happy (and meltdown-free).
6. How do dining reservations work at Disney World?
You’ve heard the stories—people waking up at the crack of dawn to grab their reservations for Cinderella’s Royal Table. Yes, dining reservations can be competitive, but that’s where I come in! I’ll help you score those coveted meals at the best restaurants, whether it’s a character breakfast or date night at Toledo at Coronado Springs Resort.
7. How can I make the most of a short trip?
Short trips are all about strategy. Prioritize must-see attractions, use the Lightning Lane pass smartly, and plan to park-hop if possible. I’ll customize a park plan for you, so you hit all the highlights (like Space Mountain and Pandora’s Flight of Passage) without feeling rushed.
8. What are the must-see Disney World attractions?
Where do I even begin?! Classics like It’s a Small World and Haunted Mansion are always a win, but if you’re an adrenaline junkie, you’ll want to hit up Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. And don’t forget to make time for newer experiences like Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana in EPCOT. I’ll tailor your itinerary so you don’t miss a thing.
9. Is Disney World worth it for adults or older kids?
Disney is not just for little ones! Whether you're traveling with teens or it’s an adults-only trip, there’s so much to enjoy. From the thrilling rides to EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival, or even the amazing resorts and spas, Disney has something for everyone. Need ideas for a magical adults-only day? I’ve got plenty of suggestions!
10. How far in advance should I plan my Disney vacation?
The earlier, the better! By booking in advance with a $200 deposit, you have an extended amount of time to pay off your entire trip! Let's create a payment plan that works for you so you're not hit with that major payment a month before your trip. Ideally, we’ll start planning 6-12 months in advance, but if you’re a last-minute planner, I’ve got some tricks up my sleeve to still make your trip magical. PLUS: Did you know that promotions can be applied to already booked packages?! Savings while you sleep!!
