Tips for Creating Your Own Disney Itinerary

I don’t think I need to stress the importance of thoroughly planning your Walt Disney World Vacation. I mean after all, you are here reading this so that tells me you see the benefit to a bit of Disney “research.” So many people tell me that planning a trip to Disney takes more time and thought than a trip to Europe.
