Disneybound Moms - How's Your Planning Going?

We're taking the children this year also. They have no idea. I just found mousesavers.com, which seems to have some really good information. We have family in the area, so accomodations won't be a factor for us, but the ticket prices are high. My husband is retired military, and we found that military can get 4 day hopper tickets for $138, which is an incredible price (normally nearly $300 for these each). Go to thefrugalgirls.com and search disney and you will find a few posts about saving when going there. Read the comments also because many people have put sites and tips for saving money when going. Have fun!

Do not call a travel agent for Disney. Do not use a travel agent for Disney. Disney lets you put a minium deposit of 400.00 then allows you to pay whatever amount you want each month until time for your trip. A travel agent will want all money upfront. I have taken my son 8 times and he is 11 years old. Also watch for all Disney Special Offers. If they give a discount after you have booked your trip they will give you money back. We spent xmas at Disney World and we are going back in June. Don't go wirhout the Dining Plan and the Deluxe Resorts are the best. We have stayed in all most all of them. The Wilderness Lodge was my favorite.Whatever you do don't use travel agent and call Disney to book so you can make sure you get the best price. Disney always gives the best
price but go to special offers at Disney World.com. Allears.net is also a great Disney website.

Hi girls!! I just thought I'd share this webpage with you guys cause i LOVED it!!

I fortunately live 45 mins from Disney and have annual passes that expire Jan 21st :*(*********** I'm still trying to decide if ill be renewing or not....... we went to disney 18 times last year and let me tell you, everytime was just as special as the first!!

hope you guys like the website!!

Just an FYI...unless you're military or bound & determined to do an all-in-one package deal, the best deal I found on park tickets (like, by a LOT) was through Kissimmee Guest Services. Here's their website: http://www.kgstickets.com/

Just something else to look into. Have a blast on your trip! ;)

I just got back from a fall trip and have one thing to say - when you are in the Magic Kingdom - go see Micky's Philharmonic - it is SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!

Have fun planning.

Hello P.S,
Good luck planning your trip to Disney=) I'm also planning for our trip on April 15, 2012. However, no matter how many websites I visit, or how many unofficial guides to Disney I read I'm still baffled about exactly hat I should/shouldn't pack. How many outfits should I pack per person, will I be able to bring food on the plane? So many questions I have, Hopefully by reading your post I will find answers to my questions. I hope you enjoy this special time with your family.
P.S
IF ANYONE CAN PLEASE SEND ME MORE INFORMATION TO HELP PLAN MY TRIP I WILL GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.

If you go to the Disney stores in the mall, you can purchase tickets there at a discount. We did that a couple of years ago. I was surprised at the discount.

Have fun!!!

Our last guest for the holiday season just left thursday. I booked my trip thru Disney around Thanksgiving but haven't picked out all our restaurants or mapped everything all out yet. We did purchase our plane tickets. I need a week off to catch up on getting my house back in order and maybe a little rest in there too. Then I will get moving on our 9 day trip to Disney in May.

Good luck with your planning!

All planned for our trip in a few weeks. Starting to work on our trip for later in the year. I think I love the planning as much as the trip. Go figure. :)

I agree, don't call an agent!! Disney is easy once you get the lay of the land. Have you looked at mousesavers.com?? That will provide you with a bounty of info and you'll be ready. Have fun!!
