Planning Your 
Walt Disney World Vacation 

Adults and children alike feel tingles of delight when they imagine enjoying an exciting vacation to Walt Disney World. Young children jump up and down with joy when they think of meeting their favorite Disney characters and places. And parents know that spending top-notch family time in Walt Disney World is without a doubt an awesome idea. This article will give you a few suggestions on planning your family vacation to this enchanting place.  

First, for every single vacation preparation, it's important to plan on going when the kids have no school, and when you and your spouse are both allowed vacation times off from work.  There are some financial advantages to not going to Walt Disney World during the high season. Throughout peak seasons, room rates may be significantly higher. On the other hand if you are concerned about the availability of wonderful features during off-peak times, don’t worry a second.  Every single day, even during the slowest season, there is are special events taking place that are designed to entertain every guest. Not having to worry about whether which season offers the most attractions should help reduce the time you spend on your Disney World vacation planning.

Second, search for room prices online, both at hotel websites and on Disney World’s official website.  Be sure to look at room prices based on the maximum number of people permitted for each room. Most hotels allow just four persons in each room. If your family is more than four and it consists of very young children, check with hotels specifically about accommodations for such a situation.  

Also consider the proximity of the hotel to the theme parks you want to visit. While there are wonderful hotels within Disney World, they usually are quite a bit more expensive compared to those to be found away from the premise. However, you should also think about the added expenses this can give you as compared with staying at a within the park hotel. You may have to pay traveling costs, such as car rentals and parking fees, as well as deal with traffic that you definitely will not experience if you stay on-site. To get better prices, look into numerous hotels both inside and outside Walt Disney World and create a simple comparative analysis on paper or on your computer. This can help you pick the right program that will also give you the best savings for your money. 

Once you have chosen the lodging that best suites your needs and budget, it's now time to select the ideal package deal on the theme park tickets or passes. This is a very important part of planning a Walt Disney World vacation. Keep in mind that there are actually 4 theme parks to visit and that ticket costs are priced on a per-day basis. However, if you are planning to stay for a week, you can and probably should purchase park passes that are valid for 7 days.  

However, before jumping into buying week passes, it is best to first fully understand your traveling lifestyle.  Many Disney World vacationers who stay in hotels located outside the park do not visit the Disney World theme parks every day.  If you are going to visit the theme parks only two or three days, you probably want to buy day passes.  But if you don’t know how many days you might visit the theme parks or you want the option to return to a theme park at different times throughout the day, the base pass might not be a good choice for you.  

The best advice when planning a vacation to Walt Disney World is to know what you and your family really want to see and do. You’re sure to find plenty of options available that will fill your needs and still keep you within your vacation budget.
