Disneyland Vacation Tips – Part 1
Walt Disney World has been described as the happiest place on earth and who am I to argue? Despite the vast amounts of Disneyland vacation tips and information available online, I felt it was about time that my blog provided some Walt Disney World answers to some Walt Disney World Questions – based on my experience there a few years ago.
Whilst I’m no Walt Disney World expert, I can share some of my tips that helped make our family trip to Disneyland and Orlando Florida a truly memorable trip of a lifetime.
So, how happy a place is Disneyland Florida? Well, despite my most grumpy efforts in the name of research and the kids having bought me a “Grumpy” hoody to wear on the day, after just 20 minutes in the Walt Disney Magic Kingdom in Orlando I didn’t have a care in the world and it’s safe to say that I was a very happy man indeed – blimey, I must be going soft.
But our amazing Disney experience didn’t start there – it began several months earlier in a cold and damp UK when the decision was made that Walt Disney World in Florida was on our radar.
So my first Disneyland Vacation Tip is: Research Research Research – Plan Plan Plan.
A huge amount of effort spent now on researching and planning the entire trip in quite some detail will make for a far more enjoyable Disneyland visit later. Most of the legwork involves just wading through the mountains of Disney World information and advice available from Travel Agents and online.
But don’t look on this as an onerous task. In actual fact, this is one of the most exciting and rewarding parts of the whole Disney World adventure and leads me nicely onto my next tip.
My 2nd Disneyland Vacation Tip is: Get The Whole Family Involved In Planning.
Lets get one fact clear from the very outset – despite the fact that you will probably turn into a big kid when you get there anyway – this whole Disney Adventure is a trip primarily intended for the kids. So get them involved from the start.
Some of the best memories for me from our trip will always be the expressions on my daughters faces when just planning the trip. We got them looking things up online, picking out the rides and attractions they most wanted to see, where they wanted to shop, what they’d like to eat.
We talked about rest days, shopping days, kids choice days, grown up days, travel, transport and accommodation options and even involved them in looking at the various costs involved. You’ll be amazed at how sensible kids can be when given some responsibilities.
Our family trip to Disneyland owes its huge success largely to the fact that we planned the entire thing from an early stage and in quite some detail.
So, once you have decided that you are going to visit Disneyland Orlando – imagine that your vacation starts from that point on. Start to enjoy just planning the trip with your whole family. It will be well worth it.
In Part 2 of my Disneyland Vacation Tips we’ll explore some of the accommodation options available.
