Disney here we come...{again!}

As many of you know we are quite the fans of Disney World.  The hubs and I have both been 5 times...when we were little, then once a few years after we were married and 3 times since Little Bit was born!  Now we are gearing up for another trip in about a month!  This time we are going with my mother in law and sis in law.  We are all super excited and have been planning the trip since forever ago it seems.  I know there are tons of blogs out there with tips and whatnot but I thought over the next couple of weeks I'd share some of the tips and tricks we have learned over the years!

First up is planning your trip...start as early as you can.  If you plan on doing any sit down dining in the parks you can make those reservations as early as 180 days before your trip!  So you will want to pay attention to your dates and get reserving as soon as it's possible.

If you are buying a 3 day pass or higher to the parks, you can save a little bit of money on your tickets by going through undercovertourist.com.  

Check out The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World from your local library...or purchase a copy if you must.  This is a great resource for helping you get an idea of which parks you want to go to, which rides to do when and so forth. 

Some helpful websites to definitely check out are touringplans.com and easywdw.com.  They both have great information on crowd calendars, customized plans for each park, character locators and much, much more!  Once we pick the dates we will be at Disney, we look at the crowd calendars to see how busy each of the 4 parks will be those days.  Then we decided which day we will go to what park...trying to pick the least crowded park each day.  It is also nice to see what rides have the longest wait times, so you can plan where to head first, fast passes, etc. accordingly!
