Mini Tip Monday | Planning your Disneyworld Trip | Travel Specialists for Disneyworld

Today’s Mini Tip Monday doesn’t have to do with photography, but it is a tip that has helped me the last week in planning our trip to Florida.  I read on blogs about hiring travel specialists to book your trip to Disneyworld and they were TOTALLY right.  A travel specialist doesn’t cost you anything (they get their commission from Disney/Universal) and they know about all the deals and insider tricks that those of us that don’t do this all the time don’t know about.  I have been working with Krista at Mouse Tales Travel and I just love her!  She saved me a TON of time and got us some really great deals too!  We found out that we get a free dining plan EVERY day we stay at one of Disneyworld’s Hotels, even if we don’t go to the park that day.  Food is expensive there, so that alone is worth staying on property for sure!

I have also been using this Orlando Crowd Tracker a ton to plan out when we would go to each park.  It’s a great reference to see when each park is busiest so you can avoid it.

Another mini tip is if you haven’t been to Disneyworld during Halloween, you MUST go and see the Halloween parade.  THE BEST parade I’ve seen at any Disney park by far.  You’ll be singing BOO TO YOU!!! for weeks after.  The last time we went we went to the Mickey’s Not So Scary Party and there wasn’t hardly anyone there, which was AWESOME.  If you do go in the fall be prepared for rain everyday, but it doesn’t last all day and keeps the crowds down.  We are SUPER excited too because the International Food & Wine Festival will also be going on and if you know me, you know I LOVE to eat-especially good food.

Hopefully these mini tips can help someone that is planning their trip to Orlando!  I’m sure I’ll be adding more tips about our trip as it gets closer.  We are so excited for Disney….but CAN NOT WAIT to go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter!!!!  I mean I just may cry when I see it….ok I know I will!
