Your Disney dream has finally come true!

You’re finally ready to take the trip you dreamt of your entire life; you’re about to see the Mouse himself! It’s time to purchase those Mickey Mouse hats and Minnie Mouse ears, because you’re going to Walt Disney World! Here are 5 tips to plan an efficient and amazing Walt Disney World vacation!

Tip 1: Pick a time in the off seasons

Walt Disney World is notoriously busy during the few peak seasons throughout the year. To avoid crowds, longer wait times, and traffic, its best to come during the slow times of the year. February through early March, May and September through November are the best times of the year to come the parks! Please try to avoid Spring break, the Summer season, and Christmas. Those times are the busiest times of the year and the most expensive!

Tip 2: Stay in an onsite Walt Disney World Resort or Hotel

Walt Disney World has many selections for onsite resorts and hotels from The Grand Floridian to Disney’s Art of Animation. When you stay in a Walt Disney World resort or hotel you can reserve your fast passes up to 60 days! That gives you an extra 30 day head start compared to those who are not staying on property. For those of you out there who do not know what a “Fast Pass” is, it is actually 3 complimentary virtual tickets that cut your wait for 3 attractions of your choice. This gives you the opportunity to book Frozen Ever After, Avatar Flight of Passage, or even Slinky Dog Dash! In order to do this, you need to download the “My Disney Experience” app to make your fast pass reservations. The app is also good to check wait times, make dining reservations and mobile food ordering and to see showtimes!

Also if you stay onsite, there will be transportation; charge free to any of the parks, hotels, and even Disney Springs! You will save about 25$ PER DAY on parking!

Another good reason to stay in a Walt Disney World Resort or hotel simply comes down to the atmosphere and location. You will be close to all the action, you will not have to deal with horrendous Orlando traffic, and the kids will be fully submersed in Disney activities in your own hotel! The resorts and hotels offer so many family fun recreational activities for all ages! Its definitely worth it, and the water slides in pool areas are super fun!

Tip 3: Really invest into this trip

It is no surprise that Walt Disney World will be a drain on your funds. A bottle of water alone in any Walt Disney World theme park is 4$ To save money, bring filtered-refillable water bottles, and snacks. Also if there are souvenirs you are planning on purchasing, try to do some research online about their prices. And remember in any quick-queue restaurant in the theme parks, prepare to spend about 10-15$ on each meal and about 3$ per cup of soda. A tip to the parents, kids meals are also available to your little ones. Keep a budget!

Tip 4: Don’t forget to pack the sunblock!

Orlando, Florida is literally hot and humid almost all year around. It can be 90 degrees on Christmas Day, I kid you not! You need to wear a very strong and waterproof sunblock, comfortable tennis shoes, shorts and tank tops! Remember to pack a lot of water bottles, and purchase you and your family their own individual mini portable fans! They will thank you in the end!

Tip 5: Be on the lookout for great vacation packages!

Walt Disney World offers a lot of great offers on plane tickets, hotels and theme park tickets in packages.
