A trip to Disney World is something every kid dreams of. A vacation at the theme park is even fun for retirees and adults without kids. If you go without kids, your interests and plans will probably be quite different. Your itinerary will also differ based on the ages of your kids. Careful advance planning will help you have the best time at your vacation destination. Here are some things to know.
The Best Time To Go
Every month holds special fun times at the theme park. However, certain months are more suitable than others depending on your plans. Central Florida weather is unpredictable in the winter. You might luck out and have warm days, but it could also be much too cold to enjoy an outing at a themed water park. If the water activities are important, then choosing spring through fall is a safer time to visit.
If you want to go when crowds are low, then avoid holidays and weekends. Since the theme park is a big draw for families with kids, going when kids are usually in school is good when you want to avoid super-long lines. Going in October shortly after school starts again is one option; plus, you'll get to enjoy Halloween attractions in the area, too. However, if you wait until November, you can enjoy the beautiful Christmas decorations that adorn the park.
Book Your Hotel Well In Advance
You can plan a last-minute trip and find plenty of lodging nearby, but if you want the full experience and enjoy easier transportation to the parks, then staying in a Disney hotel is a better option. These hotels are popular, and they fill up fast. Some of the hotels are popular for conventions too, so booking your room as soon as you lock in your vacation dates is a good idea and gives you a better shot at a room with a beautiful view or that's near the pool.
Read Vacation Planners And Travel Guides
If you've never been to the theme park, you may be overwhelmed as soon as you step through the gates. You could exhaust yourself by exploring on foot and then doubling back to things you want to do. A better approach is to read up on the park and plan your day in advance. Learn about all the food offerings, rides, and shops to explore. You probably can't see them all in a day, so select the ones that interest you most. A good planner may even lay out your starting point so you begin with the rides that other people often leave to last.
Stopping at the first shops you see might not be best since a lot of people stop there first, too. Also, many people head for the most popular rides and attractions first before the lines get too long, but that can make the lines longer. A planner can provide tips on the best ways to cut your wait time, and the best times of day to visit the various areas of the park.
If you'll be spending several days at the park, you'll have the luxury of wandering at a slow pace. If your time is limited, you have to squeeze in a lot in a short amount of time, so planning your trip down to the last detail and booking hotel rooms, restaurants, and shows in advance is a great way to budget your time. If you need help, book a Disney vacation planner.

For years, I really struggled with the concept of getting out of my comfort zone. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my life, but I knew that I had to do something to get out and see the world. I began talking with a friend of mine about traveling, and she was on board. We began working in fields where a lot of travel was required, and it was truly exciting to us. I wanted to begin a little blog that helped other people to make travel simpler, since it can be easy to get overwhelmed when it comes to travel.
