DisneyTips.com Your Guide To A Great Disney Vacation

1. Start planning early There are some vacations that you can just randomly decide to take, book last minute, and somehow still be all set. Disney is not one of those vacations, especially if you’re new to visiting the Walt Disney World Resort. Do research ahead of time to determine where you think you’d like to stay, the time of ...

1. Close proximity to the parks One of the most obvious things you’ll love about staying at a Disney resort is being right in the middle of the action. The theme parks, water parks, and Disney Springs, are all just a quick monorail/bus/boat ride away, and if you didn’t bring your own car you’ll never need to worry about figuring ...

1. Arriving Late Years ago, many guests were under the assumption that Animal Kingdom was a “half-day park.” With the opening of Pandora and additional evening offerings, the park is most definitely a full-day park if not a one or two-day park. Even so, guests are still encouraged to arrive early so they can enjoy experiencing the animal exhibits while ...

9. Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage is an exciting and classic stage show, that while loved by many guests could use a bit of an update.

1. Purse/backpack Having a purse or backpack to take into the parks with you that you feel comfortable using throughout your trip is more important than we often realize.

While the ride experience itself does not change, the eerie atmosphere of walking through the queue and into the mansion in the evening can really add to your visit. Another perk of visiting the Mansion at night, like many of the attractions ...

1. Cash It should come as no surprise that a Disney vacation is expensive, however bringing extra spending money to the parks is always a wise decision. While on vacation, you won’t want to miss out on a purchase or experience because of the cost (at least in most cases). Although it does hurt your wallet to think about how ...

Bad weather have you down? There is no reason why the weather should have an impact on your Disney vacation. Unless the parks are actually closed from the weather (which has happened less than a handful of times since 1971) you should continue to enjoy your trip! Here’s how: 1.

1. Spending money Bringing money to spend while on a vacation sounds like a no-brainer, but sticker shock is indeed real and it happens to the best of us during a trip to Walt Disney World. You know the hotel and tickets will be expensive, and you may even have most or all of your meals paid for upfront with ...
