Preparing for an affordable Disney vacation is a real possibility if you take advantage of cheap airplane tickets, discount hotel rooms, or cheap vacation packages. An ideal time to visit Walt Disney World is the period after Thanksgiving till around December 20th. This time frame is after the peak season rush and just before Disney World fills up again for the final holidays of the year.
After Thanksgiving, the parks all have their Christmas decorations out. The crowds are the smallest of the year and typically this is a very dry, sunny, and warm time of year.
The downside to visiting Disney during this time frame is that the parks do close earlier and if you are traveling with kids, you will probably have to take them out of school.
The following are suggestions for visitors to get the most out of their Disney World vacation:
Be aware that visitors walk an average of eight miles a day at Disney moving from ride to ride. Experts recommend taking the family on walks around your neighborhood for two or three months prior to your trip. Kids should be able to walk up to eight miles without being unduly exhausted.
You need to discuss a division of labor with your spouse before traveling. Advance preparation is invaluable in dealing with the challenges of parenting on the road, spending unusual amounts of time together, and handing with the effects of hyper stimulation on your kids.
Once at Disney World concentrate on having as much fun as possible vs. getting your moneys worth by visiting as many different parks and going on as many different rides as possible. You need to build rest and relaxation into your vacation.
Carry your own snacks since eating is expensive inside the park. Have everyone in your family wear hip packs and carry bottled water, sandwiches or trail mix.
By staying at a hotel outside the park or renting a house you will most often save money or enjoy much nicer accomodations. The price of two rooms at Disneys least expensive resort will get you a very nice four bedroom house outside of the resort.
