Planning a Disney Vacation Can Be Stressful; Don't Let Your Vacation Be

A friend is planning her family's first Walt Disney World vacation for this fall. She said, "I want our trip to be as smooth and fun as possible. The planning is stressful!"  And it can be.  I remember worrying about details before taking my oldest daughter for the first time and I had been to the parks more times than I could count.  That's why I started this blog....to share what I had learned and to tap into this wonderful online Disney fan community.

To my friend, yes.  Planning can be overwhelming.  Walt Disney World is huge and there are so many things to see, do and eat.  You won't be able to do them all in one trip, so just let that idea go.  Do your homework and you should be able to make the most of your time and money.  However, once you are there, please try to relax and enjoy the experience.  Just like any other big thing in life, something will go wrong, you'll forget to do something, and some aspect will disappoint.  However, Walt Disney World is filled with wonderful small moments of magic that you won't find in any guidebook.  Take the time to let those happen and you will have a terrific family vacation that you will never forget.
