This post is brought to you bySharyn Kaye Travel<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

To help you from being completely stressed out by the endless options, crazy high costs, and infinite possibilities, we’ve put together these amazing tips for planning this very magical experience. As with all things Disney, there is A LOT of information; so we’ve broken things down into a 3 part series to make it a little easier. Let’s get started with Part 1!<\/p>\n

When to go:<\/b>
\nDeciding when to go can be a big factor in your plans. To
\nreally enjoy the experience and make the most of your time, try to go
\nwith the crowds will be low or moderately low.
\nHistorically, these have been the attendance levels for Walt Disney
\nWorld:<\/p>\n

Lowest Attendance<\/b>
\n-Mid-January to mid-February
\n-Just after Labor Day to Thanksgiving week
\n-Sunday after Thanksgiving to the week before Christmas<\/p>\n

Moderate Attendance <\/b>
\n-Mid-February to early March
\n-Late April to Early June, except Memorial Day<\/p>\n

Highest Attendance <\/b>
\n-Spring Break
\n-Mid-March to Late April
\n-Memorial Day Weekend
\n-Mid-June through Labor Day
\n-Thanksgiving Week
\n-The week before Christmas through New Years<\/p>\n

A note about visiting during the highest attendance times of year:
\nDON’T GO!<\/b>
\nOn New Year’s Eve 2018, Magic Kingdom stopped admitting guests at
\n11:00 am because the park had reached capacity. Yowza!<\/p>\n

How long should you stay:<\/b>
\nThis can be a tough one. You want to see “everything”, but you don’t have time (or money) to hang out for a month or more.
\nTo get the most out of your stay, and reduce stress, here’s a guideline to get you started:<\/p>\n

Visit Just One Park <\/b>
\n-1 or 2 days
\nVisit Any Two Parks<\/b>
\n-3 to 4 days
\nVisit Any Three Parks<\/b>
\n– 5 to 6 days
\nVisit All Four Parks<\/b>
\n-7 or more days
\nVisit the Water Parks too<\/b>
\n-add another 2 days<\/p>\n

If you have a large family or are traveling with young children, you may want to add more time or, better yet, go when the park attendance is at its lowest<\/u>.<\/p>\n

Split Stay.<\/b><\/p>\n

Can’t decide which resort you want to stay at? Try a split
\nstay. You can start your vacation at one resort and then move to
\nanother one for the remainder of your trip. Bell Services will even
\ntransport your luggage between the resorts, for free! On our last trip
\nwe stayed 3 nights at Animal Kingdom Lodge Kidani Village and then
\nmoved to Disney’s Boardwalk Villas. After we checked out at Kidani
\nVillage, we brought our luggage to Bell Services, hopped on a bus to
\nMagic Kingdom and when we arrived at the Boardwalk Villas later that
\nafternoon, our luggage was waiting for us. Super easy.<\/p>\n

Weather.<\/b><\/p>\n

Consider seasonal weather when making your plans. June,
\nJuly, and August can be very, very hot and humid.<\/p>\n

Theme Parks.<\/b><\/p>\n

There are 4 theme parks and 2 water parks at Walt
\nDisney World<\/p>\n

Magic Kingdom.<\/b><\/p>\n

Cinderella Castle, Space Mountain, Main Street USA, and It’s a
\nSmall World are some of the attractions you’ll see throughout
\nthe 7 magical lands.<\/p>\n

Where to stay:<\/b>
\nDetermine which theme park you think you will visit most and, if possible, try to pick a resort closest to that theme park to reduce travel time between your resort and the park.
\nThe place is bigger than it looks. It can easily take 20 \u2013 25 minutes to get from the Animal Kingdom Park to the Magic Kingdom Park.
\nTip<\/u>: If you want to be centrally located to everything, choose an EPCOT \/ Hollywood Studios Resort.<\/p>\n
