Need some tips for planning a Disney vacation? When you think of Florida, not only do you think of our great sunshine and beaches, but many know us for our theme parks. The main theme park, commonly known as “The happiest place on earth”, is Walt Disney World. Now don’t get me wrong, it’s such a wonderful experience, but you DO need a plan before arriving for your trip. With four theme parks, two water parks, an ESPN sports complex, two malls, and over 25 hotels, it can become overwhelming quickly and if you plan on spending your vacation here, I’m sure you want to make the most of it.

The Park Hopper Pass is Not Always Necessary!
Not only are the parks not within walking distance, but you will be spending precious daytime light trying to get from one park to another. Trying to figure out how to get to each park is a challenge if you're not familiar with it and each park has enough activities to spend a full day at. This is one of my best tips for planning a Disney vacation.

Where do You Plan on Staying?
After walking the parks all day, it does get exhausting! Staying at one of the Walt Disney World resorts does have its advantages, such as complimentary shuttles to and from the parks, they are closer to the parks, and cost just as much as surrounding hotels, just to name a few perks.

Have You Looked into the Fast Pass?
This is pretty much a no-brainer for me when we go, as it saves lots of time on Disney’s most popular attractions. It is a separate fee from your admission ticket, but some rides you will wait between 1-2 hours versus maybe 30 minutes with the Fast Pass.
