Planning Tips

Why You Can’t Just “Show Up” to Walt Disney World

Throughout the years of visiting Walt Disney World, it’s easy to understand why most of the general population dislikes the Happiest Place on Earth.

The crowds, the lines, the heat (it’s hot pretty much every month except January & February), screaming children, fighting families, oh and did we mention the lines?

For most people visiting WDW for the first time, or even second or third, it’s easy to just want to “show up” to Orlando and expect the magic to happen. No planning or preparations or reservations.

BIG MISTAKE.

To get the most out of your time (and money) in WDW, there is a lot of work that must be done in advance. Don’t get me wrong, we steer off our itinerary and plans almost every day, but having a plan to fall back on makes everyone’s life easier, especially when you’re tired, hot and hangry.

Planning out each day of your WDW trip months in advance is so important. Dining reservations can be made 180 days in advance and Fast Pass+ reservations can be made 30 or 60 days in advance (30 if you’re staying off property, and 60 if you’re staying on property). It’s a lot of work, but worth the effort once you’re strolling down Main Street.

For people who don’t enjoy the planning part, WDW Park Planners is the answer. We do the hard part for you, so you can just “show up” to WDW and Make Every Minute Magical.
