A trip to Walt Disney World can be a magical experience, but a little planning goes a long way toward ensuring you have the best time possible. Avoiding these three common mistakes will help make your vacation smoother, more enjoyable, and truly magical.
1. Not Understanding Virtual Queues, Lightning Lane Multi Pass & Single Pass
The Lightning Lane Multi & Single Pass system can be a lifesaver when it comes to avoiding long lines, but many guests don’t realize how to use it to its full potential. With this service, you can book multiple Lightning Lane passes before your trip and then different attractions throughout the day, but it’s crucial to know when and how to stack them.
Pro tip: Try to schedule your next Lightning Lane as soon as you’re eligible—With a little strategy, you can skip more lines and maximize your time in the parks!
Some rides can only be ridden by securing a virtual queue or paying for a Lightning Lane Single Pass so it is imperative that you understand how to use this system.
2. Not Taking Breaks From The Parks
Walt Disney World is massive, and it’s easy to get swept up in the excitement, but don’t forget to take breaks! Many first-time visitors try to power through full days at the parks, which can lead to burnout and exhaustion—especially in the Florida heat. Plan for a midday break, whether it’s a leisurely lunch, a poolside rest at your resort, or simply taking a few hours to recharge before heading back for nighttime shows. You’ll feel energized and enjoy the parks more when you aren’t running on empty.
3. Not Working With An {Experienced} Travel Advisor
Walt Disney World is a huge, complex destination with countless options for accommodations, dining, and entertainment. Many guests miss out on hidden gems or get overwhelmed by the planning process. By working with a travel advisor, you can avoid the hassle of navigating it all on your own. A travel advisor can help you secure reservations, customize your itinerary, and ensure you’re making the most of every moment. Plus, they stay on top of the latest tips, tricks, and deals so you don’t have to! (Just make sure you are working with an agent, like myself, who visits regularly and is up to date on systems and experiences in the parks.
By avoiding these mistakes, you’ll be well on your way to a stress-free and magical Disney experience. Need help planning your dream Disney vacation? Contact me at the link above, and let’s make it happen!
