Where do I start?!

A lot of people get stressed when they think of planning a Disney trip because a lot goes into the planning. This isn't a vacation where you just show up and relax... you have to plan everything so that you can do everything! Here's some important steps in planning your Disney trip:

1. Pick the right date that works for everyone in your party

-Don't stress too much about the weather... I have been to Disney in the hottest and coldest of temperatures and the trips were still just as good! Though I recommend September and April.

2. Decide which hotel is right for your party

-There are 4 levels of resorts on property (Deluxe villas, deluxe resort hotels, moderate resort hotels, and value resort hotels) ranging from most expensive to least. There are also great hotels off property that have transportation to the parks!

3. Decide how many days you want to be there

-Most families stay for a week but it truly is up to you! (Tip: Flying on Mondays and Tuesdays tend to be cheaper... and flying on Sundays are the most expensive!)

4. Decide if you want to park hop or not

-Disney has Magic Your Way base tickets which means you can only go to one park a day or a park hopper pass (which is an add on to the base ticket price) which allows you to go to as many parks in a day as you wish. I recommend the park hopper because you can go to the parks more than once in your trip, but if you are on a budget crunch the MYW ticket will work great too!

5. Create a My Disney Experience account

-With the new My Disney Experience system through Disney's website and app, you must create an account so you can link your resort booking, dining reservations, fastpasses, tickets, and magicbands to your party.

I will be posting another post about booking and buying tickets soon! I hope this post helps you begin to plan a future trip (:
