Count down the days
This is exciting, you’re going on a Disney Vacation! Get the whole family in on the celebration. Count down the days on a calendar or find new ways to mark the occasion. Have a Disney themed party at home or watch all your favorite animated films over and over again. Building up the fun at home adds to the excitement of the trip, especially for the kids.
Make a plan
A minute by minute schedule may put a damper on your vacation but it is a good idea to have a plan. Have a general idea of which parks and attractions every member of your group wants to visit on each day of your trip. Don’t plan to do too much in one day, you’ll be exhausted and you’ never know what you may find at the Disney parks. There could be a princess sighting or a fantastic photo opportunity that may cause a slight detour in your itinerary. Plan ahead so you don’t miss a thing.
Using FastPass+
Speaking of planning ahead of time, definitely consider using the FastPass+ system. It’s like making a reservation at a restaurant. With the Fast Pass+, you are able to make a reservation for an attraction. Connected to your MagicBand, all you have to do is scan your wristband at your scheduled arrival time and enjoy an attraction with minimal wait time.
Prepare for long walks
With exploring the park comes a tremendous amount of walking is involved. I’m talking miles and miles of walking. Be sure to bring comfortable shoes or sneakers. Take breaks when needed, to rest your legs. You might also want to consider taking things like bandages or shoe insoles to alleviate possible discomforts like blisters and chafing. Add some extra walking to your workout routine so you’re extra fit and ready for a Disney adventure.
Pay attention to the weather
The weather can be finicky sometimes. It can be cool in the morning, scorching hot in the afternoon, then rainy, then sunny again. So be prepared for any kind of weather and check the forecast beforehand. Bring rain ponchos and umbrellas in case of a drizzle. Depending on the temperature, wear layers or remember to grab a sweater before heading to the park. Don’t sweat too much if you do forget something, there’s tons of Disney swag you can buy at the park if you’re in a pinch.
Pack the essentials
Along with packing the proper attire and comfortable shoes, don’t forget to pack other necesities like sunscreen, hats and sunglasses to protect you and your family from the harsh rays of the sun. Be sure to bring a backpack or totebag to carry things like tickets, maps, drinks and snacks with you around the park during the day.
Those were some tips when preparing for your next Disney Vacation. No matter what, a trip to Disney is always a memorable experience.
