Summer time Madness

     As summer approaches millions of people are planning their family vacations. Walt Disney World is one of the most popular family summer vacations there is on the face of the earth! With children out of school it is a most convenient time for people to travel. Now, on top of the crowds add all of the major overhauling and drastic changes Walt Disney World has gone through just within the past six months and it is a recipe for disaster if you are not properly prepared and thoroughly planned for your vacation months before you even leave the house!
     Did you know you are able to book all of your dining reservations 180 days prior to your arrival? That is six months before you even get there! Were you aware these reservations can be booked up solid in the blink of an eye? Also one of the big changes in WDW is the Fast Pass Plus which is now reserved online 90 days prior to your arrival. Gone are the days of getting to the parks at your leisure and getting a hard Fast Pass ticket in your hand.
     Now, don't get me wrong. I am not looking to make a WDW vacation sound unattractive because of all the work that goes into it. If planned just right, it can be one of the most rewarding vacations you and your loved ones will experience. In order to plan it correctly you must either know all there is to know about the changes in place and how they effect the Parks, The Resorts, Dining, Attractions etc. or be planning the trip with someone who does. As an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner I feel there has been no better time for us as Planners to be able to assure our clients they will not get lost in the crowds! There are some amazing times to be had this summer in Walt Disney World if you or your planner tackle the hurdles of change Disney has thrown into the mix. The changes may seem overwhelming but as an end result with proper planning these changes can ensure us that were getting the most possible out of your vacation!
