Hi there, Jade!
I'm happy to hear you're in the planning stages of a magical Walt Disney World Resort vacation. While planning a Disney getaway can be really fun, it can also be
really overwhelming. With so many things to see and do, and so many places to stay, play, and dine, it's sometimes easier to rely on the help of a Disney planning expert!
Thank you for bringing your question about planning your trip to planDisney. The planDisney panel is made up of real-life Guests - moms, dads, grandparents, childless millennials, and more, that have vacationed at Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and have sailed with Disney Cruise Line numerous times. We are your "feet on the ground" when it comes to a Disney vacation, and we are here to share tips and advice about what worked for us, and even about what didn't! We can share our knowledge about real-life experiences at Walt Disney World Resort, and help you by giving our opinions and recommendations about lodging, dining, transportation and more. We're happy to help answer any questions you can think of! Follow along on the
planDisney Instagram to get up-to-date tips on planning a Disney vacation, and to see what we've been up to lately!
When it comes to actually booking your trip, you can choose to "build" your trip yourself on the
Walt Disney World Resort website, or enlist the help of an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner. I always recommend using the services of a Disney Vacation Planner, mainly because their expertise comes at
no extra cost to you. Using one of these Disney-trained experts doesn't cost a penny more than if you were to book your vacation on your own! There's no need to stress over the details of planning your vacation when a Disney specialist can handle all the details for you. An Authorized Disney Vacation Planner can help you select the
Disney Resorts Collection hotel that best fits your travel party, make
Advance Dining Reservations at the restaurants of your choice, navigate the
Park Pass Reservation System to make theme park reservations for you, all while monitoring your booking for any discounts that could save you money. A simple Google search can help you locate an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner near you - there are some great ones out there!
I hope this helps with your planning, and you'll soon be walking right down the middle of Main Street, U.S.A. on your Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
