Planning Tips

Why You Can’t (and Shouldn’t) Do Everything at Walt Disney World

4 theme parks. 2 water parks. Disney Springs. Resort amenities. Sounds like a lot – because it is. Even if you live in Orlando, it would be hard to hit it all. WDW is constantly changing and evolving, which is why people (like us) go back year after year.

There is so much to see and do, so where do you even start when planning a trip? It can feel daunting, so you need to accept one fact before delving in to the planning: you physically cannot do everything WDW has to offer. You can’t even do all the things you want to do, and that’s okay!

That’s why pre-trip planning is SO important. You need to have a game plan when you show up to WDW if you want to hit your “Must Do’s.” Time is of the essence in WDW, but so many families and groups waste huge amounts of time waiting in lines, waiting for reservations, waiting for transportation – wait, wait, wait!

You’ve spent so much $$ on your vacation, so spending the time on the prep work for your trip is the best way to get the most bang for your buck. Sure, WDW has deals and discounts on things, but taking the time to plan out your days in the Happiest Place on Earth truly will make or break your vacation.

Start by mapping out what parks you want to hit each day of your trip (this will depend on if you have a Park Hopper). Then you need to make dining reservations, Fast Pass+ selections, and a game plan for the rest of your time in WDW.  Do your research so you know the ins and outs of the system before your window opens to make all of your reservations and selections!
