Planning a trip to Walt Disney World take a lot of thought and planning. Even with the best laid plans, one can encounter a bump or two along the way. Here are some common mistakes we see at the Most Magical Place on Earth.
Mistake 1 – Not Reserving Table Service Meals in Advance
You’ll absolutely need to make a reservation for sit down meals 60 days (at the time of this writing) prior to your arrival. And, beware… they go fast, especially signature and character experiences. However, don’t stress if you don’t get your top choices. You will still have a great vacation even if you just do quick service!
Mistake 2 – Not Using Mobile Order
If quick service dining is preferred, I encourage you to order using your device in advance. Payment via this method is contactless and all you have to do is pick up your order and go.
Mistake 3 – Not Budgeting in Advance
This is especially true for food and merchandise. Scope out menus ahead of time, and try not to impulse purchase too much. Try to go in with a PLAN and a budget, and stick to it.
Mistake 4 – Overpacking
You don’t need four pairs of shoes and two pairs of Mickey ears per day! Make and stick to a packing list, but don’t forget essentials! Sure, you can find them on property, but it will cost you.
Mistake 5 – Overplanning
Prioritize your parks and attractions, but don’t pen anything in. Variables like weather and crowds could quickly derail a day that has been booked down to the minute. Be sure to plan for breaks with all of that walking!
Mistake 6 – Ignoring the Forecast
As a rule of thumb, holidays, school breaks, summer, and weekends will bring the crowds. If they’re too much for you, and/or you prefer a more relaxed vice, check out other times of the year. Some people may not mind the business, or these may be the only times that you can go. Or, perhaps, you want to experience a certain season. That is totally fine, and you can and will still have a great time. You just need to know what to expect.
