You’ve been planning and planning, and now you are here. Here’s five tips to have a great Disney Vacation!
Congratulations! You have made it! You are here! Walt Disney World. After all that time, all that planning, all the excitement of hearing “is it time to go to Disney yet?”, you are finally at Disney World. But, how do you ensure that you have a great trip and make your Disney vacation as memorable as you want it to be? Here’s five tips to remember to help you make the most out of your vacation!
Tip #1: Go with the flow
Far too often, people think that they need to see everything and do everything on this trip or it won’t be a success. My response to them is this: If you insist on seeing and doing everything, you’ll stress yourself out unnecessarily, and you won’t have nearly as much fun as you would have otherwise. My tip: go with the flow. Don’t go all Disney commando; slow down, enjoy the scenes, the sights, and the experience of just being in Walt Disney World — you’ll have just as much fun and so will your family!
Tip #2: Schedule some Dining Reservations for Character Dining
When you are traveling with your kids (and sometimes even without your kids) to Walt Disney World, one thing that they always seem to want is to get autographs and pictures with their favorite characters. Fortunately, Disney has several Character Dining restaurants where you can enjoy a good meal and get photos and autographs with your favorite characters! This is such a win-win for me; you don’t have to stand in line to see them, they come to your table for photos and autographs, and you and your family also get to recharge for the rest of you day too!
Tip #3: Take a lot of Photos
I know that this is a no brainer for many of you, but you can never take too many photos of your vacation in my opinion, especially if you have a digital camera. So many of my favorite memories have been cemented in photos that I took of the event that all I need to do is look at them and I’m right back to that moment in time.

Tip #4: Stop to smell the roses
The road less traveled — at Disney, that can be hard to find, but if you slow down and look at things instead of just moving past them at light speed, you’ll have a more relaxing trip, a better vacation, and you might just find that those memories from the slower time might just be the memories that you cherish the most. I know that this ties in with tip number 1, but it’s that important to me.
Tip #5: Experience more than just the parks — check out some resorts
During our last trip to Disney World, we took some time and went and explored Saratoga Springs and Old Key West resorts. That was so much fun, it was a relaxing time, we got to see a lot of the things there that we had never seen before, and it was a great time spent looking at possibilities for future trips.
