Disney World travel tips

As a travel planner, I'm always sharing theme-park tips with my clients.

Since moving to Orlando in September 2022, I've visited Disney World almost every week.

I've been a Disney World annual passholder since my family relocated from Maryland to Florida in 2016. When I first signed up, I brought my husband and two kids along for the ride.

You might think Magic Kingdom is the be-all and end-allof the Christmas season at Disney World, with highlights including Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, holiday parades, holiday fireworks, and snow raining down on Main Street USA.

Nicholas Deniz was waiting to enter Disney World in Orlando with his clients last month when a park manager pulled him out of line.

I worked at Magic Kingdom and Disney Springs during my time in the Disney College Program. With that experience, I know a trip to Disney World can be equally magical and overwhelming.

After moving to Florida from New York City, I live only five minutes away from Magic Kingdom — I can hear the fireworks out my window and could walk to the employee parking lot if I still worked there.

The Walt Disney World Swan Hotel is a Marriott-owned property located in the Disney BoardWalk area.

Disney World is home to value, moderate, and deluxe resorts — all with varying room rates and amenities.

If you've been to Disney World, you know those memories come with a high price tag. 

As a travel planner at Marvelous Mouse Travels, clients often ask me if I prefer Disney cruises or Disney World vacations.

I live 10 minutes away from Disney World and visit the parks frequently, but I'm always learning about new offerings. I recently discovered Savor the Savanna — a two-hour, private safari tour at Animal Kingdom.

In June, I paid $623 to stay in a standard-view room at Disney's BoardWalk Inn, one of the several hotels along Disney's BoardWalk.

I've been exploring theme parks across the country (and the world) for over three decades, and there are so many options beyond Disney and Universal. 

As a former Disney World employee, it should come as no surprise to learn that I love all things Disney — including the merch. But as a broke college kid, I certainly didn't enjoy the lofty price tags.

As a former Disney World park employee, current annual passholder, and Orlando local, I've witnessed people make decisions during their visits that could impact their entire vacation.

A woman is suing Disney World, claiming that she was left with permanent injuries and vaginal bleeding after riding the biggest slide at its Typhoon Lagoon.

As a frequent theme-park guest, I've been fortunate enough to try character-dining experiences at both Disney World and Universal in Orlando, Florida.

I've been visiting Disney World for over three decades, but I recently stayed at the Four Seasons Resort Orlando in Disney World's Golden Oak neighborhood for the first time.

I've been going to Disney World for almost 30 years. I often visit the parks with my family or friends, but I actually prefer to explore as a solo traveler.

If it weren't for the endless stream of folks posing with it, "Binny" might appear to be like any other flat-topped garbage bin in Disney World's Epcot.
