    I had no idea there was so much to think and plan, when going to Disney. I feel as if my kids are going to miss out on a lot of stuff. What advise do you have for a parent that is going to Disney on a very small budget. ( will they still have fun)

    Hi Marcela,

    Whatever the budget, your children will have the time of their lives at Walt Disney World Resort!  Just being there is magical, you will make memories that will last a lifetime!  I would recommend taking the time to really explore each of the Theme Parks.  Walk around really taking in all the details, my daughter loves to find Hidden Mickeys - Mickey faces "hidden" into the details of the Theme Parks.  

    Another idea to get your kids excited even before you leave for your vacation is look at the different attractions on the Walt Disney World Website and create a must do list.  Let your kids have a say in what they do and the attractions you experience.  Before each day I ask my daughter what 2 attractions are a must do at the Theme Park we have chosen for the day.  She loves having a say in what we do, and I make sure she gets to experience something that she was looking forward to.  

    Be prepared before you arrive at Walt Disney World Resort.  If you plan on meeting characters, make an autograph book before you leave.  Pick up some Ponchos (in case of rain) at the dollar store, and make sure you have all the essentials like sunscreen, hats, band-aids and Tylenol.  Also feel free to pack some snacks to bring with you for your Walt Disney World Resort Room as well as in the Theme Parks.  This will save quite a bit of money, and also give you more time for attractions rather than waiting in line for a bite to eat.  

    No matter what your budget, you will have a MAGICAL time at Walt Disney World Resort.  There is so much to see and do that is included with your Magic Your Way Base Tickets, your children will feel like you have spent millions!  Please let me know if you have any other questions Marcela.  I would love to help make your "Disney Time" even more magical.
