You're going to have a great time!
I know it seems like a lot, but once you make a few decisions and reservations, there's really nothing more to do than to go and enjoy!
Dates of travel?
Feb. 2011
Transportation, (getting there) - Drive or fly?
Accommodations - Where... off-site or a Disney Resort? Which hotel/resort?
Transportation, (while on vacation) - Rental car, your own car, Disney transportation?
Tickets - purchase separately or part of a Disney package? Base, Hoppers, Water Parks and more?
Dining Plan (DP) - No plan, Quick Service, Regular DP, Deluxe DP?
Advance Dining Reservations (ADR) for Table Service (TS) meals. (needed regardless of DP or paying out-of-pocket.)
For Park and meal planning (if making ADR's for TS meals) -
Look at the WDW calendar for park hours, special events, etc.
Decide which park/s you'll visit each day.
Try to make any ADR's
in or near the park you will be visiting to cut down on time spent traveling around.
Book ADR's as soon as possible - (Booking open 180 days from arrival date.)
Note times for any special events, shows, parades, etc.
Learn about
Fast Passes and use them!
Make a list of a few
must-see-and-do attractions for your family. Try to hit these first thing in the morning. After you cross a few of the list, RELAX and discover the magic at your own pace.
Have a great time!
