Are you thinking about booking a trip to Disney World with the family for the first time? You’re guaranteed to have a great time here. Disney, and Disney World in particular, is a great place for the whole family. The rides, the attractions, the theming – it’s all on point. However, to get the most out of this experience, there are a different steps that you need to take. Here are some ideas to consider.
Buy Some Fun Accessories
Most families book a trip to Disney World a year in advance. We’re going to get to why a little further down but this can lead to a long wait where you may not even feel that you are going on holiday at all. That’s why you should make sure that you are finding ways to keep the fun alive. There are lots of different accessories that you can purchase in advance of your trip including a family passport holder. This is both fun and practical, helping you avoid the nightmare of not being able to find your passports on the day you are booked to fly. It happens more than you think!
Book Early
As mentioned, you may want to book your Disney trip early, as much as a year in advance. There are a couple reasons for this. First, Disney tend to launch deals around 11 months in advance, encouraging early buyers. You can even get official hotel rooms for a lot less then you would need to pay in the same year you were traveling.
There are also events that sell out months in advance including the special Christmas and Halloween parties. These seasonal events are expensive but well worth the price of the ticket.
Stay In A Disney Hotel
Next, you should make sure that you are booking a Disney Hotel. While this is a little more expensive, it will also provide a completely magical experience and put you in the heart of the action. This used to provide lots of different perks but these are few and far between, unless you include a stay at a deluxe resort like the Contemporary.
Book At Least 14 Days
Finally, you might be wondering how long you need to get the most out of a trip to Disney. We recommend that you consider booking at least fourteen days. This isn’t to say that you are going to have things to do on fourteen days of your trip or that you would even want to. Instead, this will provide you a little time for down days. Even just a couple days out of the park will make your life in the parks far less stressful. Anything less and it can start to feel a little like a mad rush.
We hope this helps you understand some of the key steps that you can take to ensure that you have a great time in Disney World with your kids this year. In doing so, you can make sure that you have a wonderful trip, while avoiding some of the common pitfalls associated with this type of vacation.
