Value, moderate, or deluxe — which one's actually right for YOUR family? 👀 Full breakdown in the video, but here's the short version: it's not about budget alone, it's about how you'll USE the resort. Comment 🏰 for my top pick in each tier!

Memory Maker is one of those Disney add-ons people either SWEAR by… or skip entirely. 📸✨

And honestly? It depends on your trip.

If you’re staying 5+ days OR you have photo-heavy experiences planned — like character meet & greets or Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique — I think it’s worth considering. You can rack up a LOT of photos without even trying.

And don’t forget: ride photos are included too! 🎢 Plus, you can get those gorgeous family shots in front of the iconic Disney landmarks. 🏰

But if you’re doing a quick 2–3 day trip without many character experiences? I’d probably skip it. You may not hit enough PhotoPass opportunities to make the cost worth it. 💰

Disney planning is all about knowing where your money will actually make a difference. 💸✨

This is one of the BIGGEST budget questions I get — and my honest answer is: usually, YES. 🏰

Staying on Disney property gets you some major perks: free transportation, Early Entry, and the ability to head back to your resort for a midday nap or pool break without ever really leaving the “Disney bubble.” ✨

And if you’ve got young kids? That convenience can be HUGE.

But here’s the part I really want you to know: you do NOT need to stay deluxe to get those benefits. 💰

Value resorts get you the same major on-property perks for a fraction of the price of many deluxe resorts.

You’re paying for convenience, not necessarily luxury — so don’t feel like you need to overspend to get the benefits that actually matter to your family.

I get asked about the Disney Dining Plan ALL the time — and here’s my honest take: I usually tell people to skip it. 👀

Here’s why: groceries delivered to your resort + bringing your own breakfast items and snacks can save you SO much money. 💰

Instead, I’d rather see you spend that money on the ONE character meal or magical experience you really want… and save everywhere else.

✨ Quick-service meals
✨ Resort breakfast
✨ Snacks from home
✨ Grocery delivery

🎉 BUT there’s one big exception: FREE Dining.

If Disney is offering a FREE Dining promotion for your travel dates, that can completely change the math — and it’s absolutely worth considering.

Disney planning isn’t about spending less on everything. It’s about knowing where your money actually makes a difference. 💸✨

Not having to stand in long lines can make your day SO much easier. But there are lots of factors that go into deciding if Lightning Lane is worth the extra cost for your trip — I’m here to help you figure that out. 💭

Here’s the thing… you don’t need it for every park day. 💰

If you’re trying to keep your Disney budget under control, I’d rather see you be strategic with Lightning Lane than automatically add it to every day of your trip.

✨ My rule: If you’re visiting during a normal crowd period, consider skipping it and saving that money. There are still plenty of attractions you can experience with manageable waits.

🔥 But if you’re traveling during a busy season — spring break, Thanksgiving, Christmas — Lightning Lane can be a HUGE help.

And if you can only splurge on a couple of park days?
👉 Magic Kingdom + Hollywood Studios are the two I’d prioritize.

POV: Watching your clients post their Disney vacation after you spent months planning it 🥹✨

Me watching their Stories:
👀👀👀
“YESSSS they made it!”
“LOOK AT THAT CASTLE PIC!”
“THEY GOT ON THE RIDE!”
“THEY’RE HAVING THE BEST TIME!”

Nothing makes me happier than seeing my clients living their best Disney life! 💕✨

Meanwhile, I’m either:
🏨 Looking at resort options for my clients
✨ Planning a solo Disney trip
🏰 Or planning our next family vacation

At this point, I have 3 types of Disney tabs open: clients, solo trips, and family trips. 😂🏰

Park Hopper is one of the questions I get asked most about Walt Disney World! 🏰

My honest take: it can be worth it — but you don’t always need it.

✨ Worth it: If you’re staying 5+ days and want the flexibility to visit multiple parks in one day.

👧🏼 Skip it: If you have young kids and know hopping will mean more transportation, more transitions, and potentially more crankiness than magic.

Sometimes the best way to save money is simply not paying for something you won’t use. 💰

Save that money for something that will actually make your Disney vacation better!
