Disney experience
When staying at Disney resorts staying at Art of Animation was a plus .
One of the most economical resorts. The plus is that it’s near the Skyliner, which takes you to Epcot and Hollywood Studios.
A couple of the early morning entries to Magic Kingdom, Used an Uber. Cost was approximately $10-$12 worth it rather than taking the bus.
Definitely need to stay on Disney resort during busy Disney weeks. Early admission to the parks is well worth it.
also,
A must have is the lightning pass. This saves literally hours of waiting in line. definitely need to have this with kids. You can book this seven days before your arrival.
You need to look at all the parks and show your kids all the rides and discuss which ones they absolutely wanna go to and book that with your lightning pass. On YouTube are many videos about the lightning pass and how to use it. This is well worth watching.
Need to plan ahead the 60 days ahead of time for dining – Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo, character dining. Wonderful experience for the kids the smiles were priceless. Breakfast with the Disney princesses well worth it. The smiles were priceless of the little girls.
Strollers are a must for any kids under eight years old. Disney offers rental at each of the parks. You can also bring your own stroller down and just leave it if you get one cheap at home. This is a much more economical way to have a stroller..
Dining plan saves money. Be cautious though when using table service dining you will be charged a gratuity not cheap .
dinners were good at the quick service. Dining plan was nice for families so they could get snacks.
If you fly Southwest, look into the luggage service Disney offers .
they offer a free luggage plan where they will take your luggage from the Orlando airport right to Disney hotels. Awesome.
You are literally spending thousands of dollars to go on your dream vacation to Disney . Need to plan, plan ,plan .
