Tips when traveling to Walt Disney World

  1. Utilize the services of an expert — namely, me! I have been going to Walt Disney World at least once a year, usually twice a year, for a long time, and I can help you and your family create the perfect trip!
  2. Just $200 down secures your Reservation and you have until 30 days prior to your trip to pay it off.
  3. Always book early – There are times that park reservations, dining reservations and Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique will fill up fast.  Also, special occasions such as Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party are only certain days of the week, tickets will go fast. 
  4. Download My Disney Experience App – This will allow you to make Advance Dining Reservations (ADR), Lightening Lane/Disney Genie+ selections, check park hours, wait times for attractions/rides. 
  5. If traveling for 4 or more days, leave one day to hang out at the resort pools or visit Disney Springs.  The park days are long, taking a break to enjoy other areas of Disney could be restful to gear you up more energy for park days.
  6. To assist in avoiding long lines at the parks discuss Genie+, virtual queues with your travel agent.  Genie+ does cost money but is worth it for certain rides.  Your agent can review this with you.
  7. Magic bands are a convenient tool that is linked to your park reservation and allows ease to enter in the parks, resort rooms and if you link you credit card you can just use your wrist band to purchase merchandise, food etc.
  8. Staying at Deluxe resorts will give you early access into the parks, convenient transportation to and from the parks.
