A Guide to The Ultimate Disney Vacation

Disney World Florida is a whopping 40 sq. miles, making it close to the size of San Francisco or two Manhattan islands, for scale. It truly is a small world, with tons to see and do here. 

For those looking forward to a Disney World vacation when things resume after COVID-19, you’re in for the time of your life.

Given its size, Disney World takes a minimum of 6 days to explore, which means it's a complete vacation in and of itself. 

You can go for a quick weekend trip too, but that would require you to cut down significantly when it comes to your itinerary. This gives you a day to rest and one day per theme park. However, there’s a lot more to know.

Here's a guide to planning the ultimate Disney World vacation:

Travel with friends and family

The best way to get around Dinsey World is with your favorite people by your side. Your friends and family members will make the perfect travel companions, especially if you have kids in the lot.

Schedule your trip for a time where everyone is available. You can also form your own tour group and plan your time around the park that way, as well as enjoy tons of group discounts and save on transportation, travel, accommodation, food, and much more.

Try visiting during the off-season.

Another great trip to save big and enjoy more is to travel during the off-season. This might be a little inconvenient for some groups, but it’s one of the best ways to avoid large, overbearing crowds—a crucial new factor in the post-COVID world—and price hikes. Peak season means rates for everything are higher, including airfare.

Pick an accommodation that's close.

Your accommodation will be a game changer for your trip. While a lot of people might think it's a good idea to stay in one of the resorts in the park, it's not the smartest idea. Not only will on-site accommodation cost you more, but it will also restrict your access to the rest of the city.

Instead, book a short-term vacation rental home close to Disney. Blue Travel specializes in providing luxury vacation rentals in Orlando, which are only a short distance from Disney.

These will give you the privacy, comfort, and savings you need, while also giving you plenty of space and time to see the rest of the city—split costs with the rest of your travel group for the ultimate experience and tons of amenities. Contact them here for more details.

Let everyone choose their attractions.

Not everyone will want to do everything, that’s pretty evident. Your toddlers wouldn’t want to sit through shows and concerts, or be very interested in rides and characters they’re unfamiliar with.

Let everyone in the group have a say about what they choose to do,but agree to meet at a designated spot in the middle or end of the day. 

Since you’ll have at least a day per park, you can let everybody head to their chosen rides, shows, activities, and experiences, but don't miss out on their parades and laser shows!

Dinsey World is the experience of a lifetime; don't give up the chance to experience as much of it as you can, shopping for souvenirs and trying trademark snacks such as the soft-serve and pretzels. 

However, a pro-tip would be to pack some snacks and food of your own too! And don’t forget to take those Insta-worthy photos!
