How To Plan A Disney Dream Vacation

By Frances Young


Families vacation can often be a lot of fun, or extremely stressful. While this is the case, some of the most fun in the world can be had on a disney dream vacation. For, while the parks originally targeted young children and teenagers, there are now a number of activities designed specifically for adults.

The toughest parts of this type vacation is deciding which parks to visit. While this is the case, there are discount packages available which include entry to all Disney based parks at either location. In addition, to save time and frustration, there are also several themed number hotels located on each property.

While heading out on vacation is often the most exciting aspect, there are also park savings plans which individuals can set up long before a travel date. The Disney savings plans allows individuals or families to set up a goal amount, then contribute to the plan on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Then, once enough money is in the account, it can often be easier to hit the road without worry as to money matters.

While the parks do make for a nice vacation, visitor count can really make a difference. For, the California and Florida parks can often be extremely crowded during Spring and Summer months. As such, if planning on a trip to Florida, less crowded months during Fall and Winter can often be more enjoyable.

Most all amusement parks shut down rides for short periods during thunderstorms. Although, as weather can often change as quickly in Florida as in Texas, sometimes these events are unforeseen. During these weather events, some individuals may have to remain on a ride until the storm passes, especially if there is thunder, lightning or high wind. As such, while visiting the parks can be fun, it is important to bring a high level of patience along for the ride.

One thing most people forget is that food and drinks are not included in ticket price. In addition, there are thrill rides which charge extra. As such, it is important to budget carefully and assure that all these needs are attended to. For, most parks do not allow outside food or drink, except for special dietary needs such as those of diabetics.

Most parks still focus primarily on children though there are thrill rides which are more focused towards adults and teenagers. As such, it is often advised that visitors view park information, including ride height requirements and weight limits before arriving at the park. For, once tickets are purchased and secured, most have a non-refundable policy when it comes to the cost of admission.

Whether headed to Florida or California, Disney can also be an incredible experience for solo travelers. In addition, there are inexpensive lodging options such as American International Youth Hostels located in each area which often run between $20 and $40 per night for dorm rooms and $60 to $100 for a private room. While there are no radios or televisions in the room, most often those staying at these locations are gone all day and only need a bed for sleeping, though most have kitchens where lodgers can cook meals as well, just a few reasons the prices are so low.

Disney parks can often be fun for single travelers or families. For, by budgeting ahead, checking weather forecasts and reviewing park information before arrival, individuals and families can often share in a stress-free day or week of fun at the parks. After which, most generally have wonderful lifelong memories to share with family and friends.
