1. Save your money and go, it really is a blast!
2. Get a Disney Visa. Why you might ask, here are the reasons, charge the vacation to it and no interest for 6 months, and you get 1% back in disney dollars, plus you sometimes get a free gift with your first purchase. So we left our house with a $15 gift card for our first purchase, and $72 in Disney dollars because we used the card. I LOVE FREE MONEY! Plus with a Disney visa we get emails about once a month with good deals, like this time we didn't have to pay for our park hopper, or to go to a water park if we had wanted to, and some other fun things at downtown disney. Also you get 10% of your purchase off $50 or more at the World of Disney store in downtown disney. And like mentioned before in Epcot you get a special room to see Mickey and Pluto in, plus a free 5x7.
3. Kids are free to eat and play if they are under 3 years old.
4. Stay on Disney property so that you can get the Dining Plan. Food is expensive in the parks, between $15-20 dollars per meal, just for a counter meal. With the dining plan we got 1 counter meal per person per day that we were sleeping there, plus 1 snack per day per person and one sit down meal per person per day. The counter meals are quite large, so we shared one for breakfast plus used a snack, and then we shared one for either lunch or dinner depending on when we had our sit down meal. The sit down meals, if we had had to pay for them, would have been $70-100. CRAZY! Each counter meal came with a drink, entree and dessert, meaning two drinks for breakfast, and the sit down came with a drink, entree and dessert as well. The dining plan only cost about $100 more per person on our ticket price, this equals a good deal! Plus we stayed in a value resort, which was nice enough. My parents stayed in a moderate resort and got better food and a little more room, but we all enjoyed the stay.
5. Stay on Disney property so you don't have to rent a car. They pick you up at the airport and drop you off when your stay is done. Plus they bus you anywhere you want to go on Disney property.
6. If you want to, you can listen to why it would be a good idea to become a Disney Club Member and get more free money. We sat for the presentation, which is no pressure, really it was, and we got free ice cream and 3 more gift cards worth $15, one for me and one for Creed and one for Sarah. More FREE MONEY!
7. Get a book on Disneyworld, my parents did and let us borrow it, it was amazing. It helps us plan what to do and when to go places and what restaurants were good etc. WAY GOOD INFO!
8. There are four parks, but unless you are the only people there, you will need more than four days. We were in the parks for seven and still didn't get everything done, but hey, I guess we left stuff for the next visit!
