Welcome to another chapter of planning tips. I have found making basic plans before leaving can make your trip a little less stressful. Below are some of my favorite tips that have worked well through the years. Disney is so large; it can overwhelm even the expert traveler.

It is VERY important to plan your trip in advance, especially if you are a new Disney traveler.

I haven’t talked much about our family’s next Disney World trip much…in fact, I haven’t actually talked about it at all. Why? Because until just a few weeks ago, we didn’t actually have our next Disney World trip booked!
I know, shocking, right?
(I’m amazed I don’t need some kind of therapy as a result of not having a Disney trip to plan for over 6 months……)
In any event, we have one planned now. And I need your help with it. 🙂
My favorite Disney things, eh? That should be pretty easy… except it’s not. I’m not sure I could tell you what my favorite ride is or my favorite restaurant, because there are something I LOVE about each one of them so far. For instance, if you’d ask what my favorite roller coaster was, I might say I love Space Mountain for the thrills and fun of not seeing the next turn or drop coming. But in my heart my favorite would have to be Big Thunder Mountain Railroad because not only was it my first roller coaster, but this past May I also got to share the “first roller coaster” experience with my daughter, who also just loved it! Oh, and Rockin’ Roller Coaster- soo fun! How can you pick your favorites? There’s so much to love! But, there’s no article in that, so I had to keep thinking, “What are my favorite things at Disney?” I thought and thought and the things that kept coming to mind weren’t necessarily things but feelings, so I kept dismissing them and continued to think…
As my family has grown older we have come to appreciate more and more the offerings around our chosen Disney resort when we are having some down time. As you can see from this picture, lying around in hammocks at Disney’s Contemporary Resort has been a relaxing thing for my teens to do, and I really enjoy lounging on the beach there as well.
