NEW DISNEY WORLD SUMMER ITINERARY

The other day I released a new Summer Itinerary for Walt Disney World (click the image for a summary).

The new itinerary was forced by the recently released Walt Disney World June calendar.

This calendar showed a different pattern of Extra Magic Hours than in years past.

The required re-write also gave me the opportunity to reconsider a couple of things that were not as good as they could be.

The overall impact is a new summer itinerary that’s a little simpler, a little less demanding, and a little less expensive. [Read more →]

OVERVIEW: WALT DISNEY WORLD SUMMER ITINERARY

Note: see this for required changes for Easter 2014, including how to revise this itinerary for FastPass+!!

This 8 night itinerary is for most of the incredibly busy weeks from late May to mid-August.

It also works during other very busy times–e.g. Christmas, New Years, and Easter week. [Read more →]

It’s another scheduled sit-down dinner…and even though you are on the dining plan, and probably won’t be able to use the left-over sit-down credit, you just don’t want to be scheduled. 

You are thinking a sandwich and margarita by the pool, at exactly the time you choose, will do just fine.

Your family is showing signs of strain, too. 

Everything’s going great so far, but the whining is starting to grow, and the itinerary is beginning to be viewed as the enemy.

But you’ve spent all this money, and you can’t get any of it back.  What do you do?
