Planning a Trip to Disney

I am super excited for our family trip to Disney World this summer. But, it will be my first time traveling with kids on a plane. Traveling alone can be somewhat exhausting and now adding kids to the mix, I need to really prepare myself for this. We haven't told our kids yet and I know they will be very ecstatic when we finally surprise them. I remember my first time to Disney as a kid and I can't wait to create this memory with mine.


I wanted to make this experience as enjoyable as possible, so I looked for ways to prepare myself to relieve as much stress as I could. When the time comes, I don't want to feel overwhelmed or anxious about the whole traveling experience. I came across the following trips to make sure this trip is successful for us all:

1.  Plan ahead: I have made a list of all this I need. I have made hotel reservations, booked flights, and purchased park tickets already. I will be making a rough itinerary for every day we will be there to ensure we make the most of our time.

2. Bring plenty of snacks and drinks: I know we can purchase meal plans from the park but I will definitely pack a few things of our own to cut down on costs.

3. Take breaks: The parks can be somewhat overwhelming between the crowds to the heat. Moments of rest will be needed to prevent overstimulation.

4. Consider staying on-site: We are staying on the Disney resort to have more accessibility and reduce travel time to the park. We get to enjoy the perk of early entry as well.

5. Bring a wagon: My son does not like to walk for long periods. I know there will be plenty of that. He's a little big for a stroller in my opinion; So, I'm looking for a portable or foldable wagon that I'll be able to check in on our flight. Hopefully, this is an option.

6. Be flexible: I know it will be an unpredictable experience. I am prepared to go with the flow. I will try not to worry if things don't go exactly as planned. My main focus will be enjoying it with my family.

I cannot wait for this trip and probably would be looking forward to it more than the kids lol. Disney is such a magical place and there is something for everyone. I cannot wait to see the looks on all their faces when we tell them.
