Hi, Jessie! You've come to the right place for tips, and I hope you'll visit us often as you plan your vacation! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding, too!
My biggest tip to help avoid disappointment - make dining reservations! You can start making your reservations 180 days prior to your arrival for up to 10 days of your vacation, and I can't tell you how many of my own friends and family call me to tell me after they are in Walt Disney World that they can't eat at the restaurants they want! You don't need reservations for counter service locations, but if you want a nice table service meal, a romantic dinner, or a character dining experience, reserve them in advance!
Budget for a little more than you think you'll need. I always find a last minute souvenir I want to bring home, and I like to make sure there's money in the budget for an extra DoleWhip!
Consider one of the special tours or experiences. There are all sorts of interesting and unique experiences that not everyone gets to try while they are there. Pump up the magic in your vacation by enjoying one or more of the wonderful behind the scenes or specialty tours
HERE.
Don't over plan! Give yourself time to enjoy some things you may not expect to encounter! There are performers throughout the World Showcase in EPCOT, Streetmosphere performers at Disney's Hollywood Studios, fascinating animals to watch at Disney's Animal Kingdom, and unexpected surprises at the Magic Kingdom. Give yourself time to stop and enjoy them!
Have a wonderful vacation!
