Here is your guide to beat the the top 7 mistakes guest make on a Disney World vacation:
Mistake #1 - Pay Rack Rate
The best discounts are not the ones that Disney tells you about or are easily found on
Disney’s website. The mouse is in the business to make money, so they do not
promote the discounts. You have to search for the deals or ask Disney Reservations for
the specific discount, when you call their reservations department. This could cost you
hundreds to thousands of dollars.
Our agents know about the discounts, before they are released to the general public.
We always price our guests best discount. You do not have to ask, we always price the
best discount first.
We also know which discounts are the best ones for our guests. One discount for a
party of 2 adults and 2 children (ages 3 & 6) may not be the best deal for a party of 2
adults and 2 children (ages 12 & 16). Plus, if Disney offers a discount (even after you
are booked) we will update your reservation for you. This is just one of our free
services.
Mistake #2 - Choosing the Wrong Resort
With over twenty resorts, it is hard to pick the best resort for your budget and your
family. How do you know that you picked the best resort for your trip?
A family with young children booked their 3rd visit to Disney World with their local AAA
office. They chose Disney’s Pop Century Resort, because because it was a fun theme
and it fit their budget. However, they did not have the “insider guidance” and found out
the hard way that Disney’s Pop Century Resort was not the best choice for their Disney
World vacation. When they arrived to Disney’s Pop Century Resort, they found out that
Epcot was hosting a cheerleading competition and a lot of the teams were staying at the
same resort. The resort was really loud with teens cheering and screaming during their
vacation, making it stressful on the parents and kids.
Our agents know the peak seasons to visit the Disney Resorts, special events at the
parks, and groups coming into Orlando that may affect their experience. Not only do we
know the best resorts for each family, but we also have that “insider guidance” to make
sure your vacation is enjoyable.
Mistake #3 - Treating Disney Like a Typical Vacation
Most vacations involve booking a hotel and airfare. The rest of your trip is kinda
“winging it”. However, when it comes to a Disney World vacation you do have some
pre-planning. Just take a look at the number of Disney World vacation planning books
at your local library. You need to plan your Disney World vacation or at least least our
agents help plan it for you.
Our agents are ready to help you with these details with weekly MousePerks - magic in
your in box, itinerary planning, dining suggestions, dining reservations and much more.
You do not want to show up at Disney World and miss your daughter’s favorite Disney
Character.
Mistake #4 - Budget During your Disney World Vacation
Many guests book a Disney World package and forget to budget the extras during their
vacation. Purchasing a brownie is $2.50 and a Coca-Cola is another $2.59. That can
add up quickly! Not to mention that a lot of the rides empty into a gift shop. You know
kids are going to want to shop in every gift shop!
Our agents help you plan your budget during your vacation, along with tips and tricks to
help you save additional money during your visit with Mickey Mouse. You also receive
the Orlando Magicard with your package booking. The Orlando Magicard is a card with
hundreds of additional discounts on restaurants, shopping, attractions, and recreation
during your vacation. This is a special perk, just for our guests.
Mistake #5 - Dining Reservations
Many guests do not book any restaurant reservations, before they arrive to Disney
World. This can cost you a lot of time during your vacation and additional costs. Not to
mention any disappointment. The sit down restaurants do usually book up prior to
arrival, especially the more popular restaurants like Character Dining and Dinner
Shows. If you do not make any reservations, you may miss out on dining with Mickey
Mouse or end up at the less popular restaurants. Even worse, you may not use all of
your Disney Dining Plan credits costing you money.
Our agents make suggestions of the best restaurants at Disney World, based on your
family. We will even book the restaurant reservations for you, including the super
popular Be Our Guest or Cinderella’s Royal Table restaurants at 7 AM on the 180 day
mark! Our agents are here to make sure you save time and money during your Disney
World vacation.
Mistake #6 - Seeing Everything
Many guests plan every second of a Disney World vacation. Remember, this is a
vacation and you do want to spend some time relaxing! There is so much to do at
Disney World, you could spend months at Disney and still not see and do everything.
Our agents will help you pick out the best of the best at Disney World for your family.
Plus, we will help you plan your itinerary, so you maximize the tips to save you time and
beat the lines and crowds. Plus, we will help you include some time to relax.
Mistake #7 - FastPass+
This is one of my favorite free services at Disney World, but a lot of guests still do not
know about FastPass+ and how it works.
Our agents walk you through the process, so you can maximize your time at the Disney
Theme Parks and spend more time playing than waiting in lines!
