The countdown begins (100 days)
In just over 100 days we will get on a plane and meet up in Florida to step foot in the happiest place on earth and to say 100 days can't go fast enough is an understatement (although the money crunch does also set in).
Along with sharing our excitement I thought we could also share some tips and tricks we've picked up on booking a dream disney vacation. We put in a lot of research into how to book, the best time to go, the best discounts, Disney on a budget, if there was a video we watched it, if there was a blog post we read it. And while we would have loved to go all out, stay somewhere like the Animal Kingdom Lodge and have a view of the animals from our balcony we knew we would never be able to save enough money to do so but we did know that if we all worked hard and maybe took out a small loan we would at least be able to get a middle of the run experience. So we looked at the pros and cons of each of the moderate resorts and decided to book at Caribbean Beach because at the time it was the cheapest (after all the research however I would probably recommend Port Orleans Riverside).
We booked our dinning in advance, and in 40 days we will start looking at booking our fast passes.
We also looked into the dining plan and decided that for us we wanted the knowledge that our meals were paid for going in however if you intend to bring your own snacks or know you won't buy the expensive meals then it might be better for you to just pay for your meals.
Having a plan is the biggest tip I have for a Disney holiday, it's not a place to turn up and just go with the flow. And while it doesn't sound like the most relaxing holiday, planning it out just helps that excitement build as you get closer to the day.
Have A Magical Day and Disney here we come!
