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!
