    I need help planning my disney vacation

    Hello Sindy!

    Oh boy, are you in for a magical adventure! The Walt Disney World Resort is bursting with incredible things to see and do, so much so that it can sometimes feel a little overwhelming. Fun fact: Did you know that the resort spans nearly twice the size of Manhattan? 

    When I start planning, I like to first decide how long we’ll stay and choose our Disney Resort hotel. When booking your resort, you can bundle in theme park tickets and a dining plan, both of which I highly recommend, especially if this is your first trip! Even then, there are choices to make. My family loves adding the Park Hopper option for extra flexibility and the Disney Dining Plan to keep budgeting a breeze. Once that’s set, we map out our park days and narrow down our must-do attractions because trust me, you won’t be able to do it all in one trip, but that just means more reasons to come back. After that, I dive into selecting dining locations and making sure we save time for a visit to Disney Springs for a little extra shopping magic. I highly recommend involving the whole family in the attraction and dining selection process. That way, everyone is invested and gets to look forward to their special picks. 

    Still feeling a little lost in the pixie dust? No worries. Consider using an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner. Many offer free planning services to help you create the most magical vacation ever. A quick online search will lead you to plenty of wonderful options.

    I hope this helps sprinkle some extra magic on your planning. If you have more questions, don’t hesitate to come back to planDisney. We love to help make dreams come true.

    See ya real soon!
