3 Strategies to Plan Your Perfect Walt Disney World Vacation

You may think you know all there is to know about Walt Disney World. But no matter how many times you've visited, there's always something new to discover. So how do you make sure you don't miss anything? And how can you get the most out of every day and still allow some time for rest and relaxation?

Here are THREE strategies you can use to plan your perfect Walt Disney World vacation.

1. Plan Ahead! Using "MY DISNEY EXPERIENCE" This fabulous online or mobile app tool allows you to link your tickets, your resort and dining reservations, and connect with other friends or family who are traveling with you. Once you're linked up, you can add personal notes and even choose your FastPass selections. You can do this online, or download the free app.

2. Take advantage of EXTRA MAGIC HOURS As a Walt Disney World resort guest, you can enjoy extra time in the theme parks before they open and after they close. TIP: Not every attraction is open during extra magic hours; however, you will see shorter lines and fewer crowds at some of your favorite attractions.

3. Work with a professional planner. OK, you knew we'd throw that one in there right? Here's why. We do all the research for you! We'll book your airfare, hotel, dining reservations, special event reservations or tickets, such as: Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, and more. Plus, we'll let you know about other things that would affect your trip such as renovations, attraction closings, park hours and more. And our services? Always free.

So what are your tips for saving time and money when it comes to a Disney vacation? We'd love to hear from you.

Our Tips To Beat the Crowds This 4th of July!

If you've never been to Walt Disney World over the 4th of July, you're in for a treat! The most spectacular fireworks shows will light up the sky to celebrate America. Here's a link for detailed information.

Special fireworks will be shown July 3 & 4 at Magic Kingdom, Epcot & Disney's Hollywood Studios!

However, Fourth of July is one of the most crowded nights of the year at Walt Disney World. So how can you beat the crowds and still see some fourth of July fireworks? 

Here are a few tips!

Staying at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort?

     ...Did you know you can see some of the Epcot IllumiNations fireworks from many parts the resort?

What if you're staying at the Contemporary, Grand Floridian, or Polynesian Resorts?

     ...Walk toward the water & watch the Magic Kingdom fireworks from there.

How about if you're camping at Fort Wilderness or staying at Wilderness Lodge?

     ...Head over to Bay Lake & catch the Magic Kingdom fireworks.

Staying at Disney's Yacht and Beach Club Resorts or the Boardwalk?

     ...Stroll along the promenade and you can see parts of the Epcot IllumiNations fireworks

These are all options if you'd rather skip the theme parks that evening - but please keep in mind that these suggestions will give you a partial view of the fireworks. You certainly won't be able to see the whole show perfectly as if you were in the parks.

Whether you visit the theme parks or stay at the resort, the fireworks shows at Walt Disney World are unbelievably magical! 

Happy Fourth of July!
