Where to Stay at Disney World<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Wondering where to stay at Disney World<\/a><\/strong> is likely the number one question asked by everyone who visits. Though you\u2019re sure to come across several different Disney-owned and operated housing choices, take care to consider all the benefits of Disney vacation rentals<\/strong> before booking one of the more expensive and populated accommodations of the resort. These vacation home alternatives tend to provide families and friends a better overall experience with more space, privacy, and amenities for their money. Many Disney World houses<\/strong>\u00a0are located only minutes away from the park\u2019s gates and give guests access to a myriad of other attractions and activities in the region.<\/p>\n

Planning Ahead: Theme Parks\/Transportation\/Dining\/Tickets<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of the first steps to planning a Disney World vacation<\/strong> is deciding whether you will be going to more than one theme park, and if so, which ones. This will have a big impact on the type of tickets you\u2019ll need to buy and the number of total days you\u2019ll want to arrange to have dedicated to exploring the parks.<\/p>\n

Next, you\u2019ll want to think about your vacation transportation<\/a> \u2013 how you\u2019re going to get there and how you\u2019re going to get around the area once you\u2019re there. Depending on where you\u2019re traveling from, you may choose to arrive in Orlando by airplane, train, or road trip. Once you\u2019ve reached your destination, you might want to rent a car if you plan to venture to surrounding towns, otherwise, taxis, private car services, and sometimes shuttles from the Disney vacation rentals<\/strong> can easily get you back and forth to and from the resort.<\/p>\n

Another thing you want to plan ahead for are your meals: if you wish to be part of unique dining events that feature Disney characters, or have a nice sit-down dinner at one of the popular resort restaurants. These book well in advance<\/strong>, oftentimes months, so it\u2019s best to make reservations as soon as you pick your trip dates.<\/p>\n

When it comes to buying Disney World tickets, preparing in advance can save you quite a bit of money<\/a>. There are Disney authorized ticket sellers that offer discounted admission. In addition, purchasing a FastPass+ before getting to the resort is a great way to avoid long waits in lines and save hours at the park that can be better utilized having more fun.<\/p>\n
