006: How to Plan a Walt Disney World Trip in 15 minutes
Can you plan your Walt Disney World trip in 15 minutes? You can, well, at least an outline for your trip in 15 minutes. Planning a Walt Disney World can feel overwhelming, and the most asked question I get is, "Where do I start?"
So this podcast, I am going to cover my list to help you plan the outline of your trip in 15 minutes.
- Pick a date
- Book your resort
- Buy Park tickets and make park reservations
- Decide on transportation to Walt Disney World
- Prep for my 60-day window – character dining, table dining, and enchanted extras. One of the most significant decisions I make is whether I need to do any of these things on a trip.
- Make a daily plan even for rest days.
