 Planning a Disney Trip - Rides and Park Exploring

***Highly Recommend Getting the "My Disney Experience" App***
Click Mobile App Store Links to Get




  • I work in IT and I can honestly say Disney is doing a pretty decent job with connecting their customer to the park experience via the app.  As a Dad, I have to plan ahead so that I can ensure my family has a great time.  Here is why I really like the app and it will help with ride and park experience planning:
    • The app can provide you with a map of the park you are currently visiting
    • The map can be filter to show things like ride wait times, restaurant locations, and other categories of park experiences
    • Within each filtered location, you can in most case perform actions like:
      • Check and book a dining reservation
      • View menus for the restaurant
      • Check ride queues
      • Make Lightning Lane selections if they are available (This is an add on $$ I don't always get)
      • Check average wait times by the hour
      • Get directions to park experiences (need to turn on location services)
    • You can view information about specific experiences including hours of operation
    • Mobile Food Orders - you can create a mobile food order for pickup at select food locations
    • Chat - you can directly chat with a cast member for help or questions about your visit
    • PhotoPass - View photos if you purchase a photo pass (recommend for families with kids under 10)
    • Room Key - You can use the app as your room key 
  • If you plan ahead and book your trip through Disney,  the app will show your daily plans in a nice itinerary format (I NEED to plan my days out in advance to avoid stress)

Planning a Disney Trip - Where to start?

 Planning a Disney Trip - Where to start? Where to Start - 8-14 Months in Advance Typically I use Disney's " Magic Your Way " booking tool to plan my trips and here is why: Resort and tickets are booked and packaged together You only need base tickets - Hopper and other passes not worth it in my opinion Allows you to put a deposit down of only $200 to plan your trip You can cancel up to 30 days prior to your visit date for a full refund Promotions are provided during certain times of the year when booking Resorts include free shuttles to and from parks all throughout the day  Pick a value resort and here is why: Value resorts in the summer range from $140 to $170 per night which is reasonable for the experience. You don't need fancy resort to get the Disney experience as you are hardly in your room except to sleep and shower What you save in rooms you can spend on experiences and food/beverages Walmart's and Publix are nearby so if you want to have some groceries...
