Disney California Adventure Paradise PierYou’ve probably heard of the “5 P’s of Success” – Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance. When it comes to your Disney Destinations vacation, the 5 P’s count as well!

As part of our continuing “Breaking the Myths” series, today we are going to focus on planning!

  1. Myth: You will be able to see/do everything in one trip.
    Covering nearly 40 square miles, the Walt Disney World® Resort is about the same size of San Francisco or two Manhattan islands! When visiting this vacation kingdom, the possibilities are limitless! Working closely with your Magic Maker®, we suggest making a “must do” list. Doing so not only sets reasonable expectations for your vacation, but it helps you keep from getting overwhelmed once you are at the Parks.The same theory applies at Disneyland® Resort and aboard Disney Cruise Line® – there is just so much to do. So, slow down and enjoy the sights, smells, and sounds of your Disney Vacation.
  2. Myth: We’ve already been to “Disney” once – there’s no reason to go back!
    Walt Disney once said “Disneyland® will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.” To this day, that is still the case. Whether at the Walt Disney World® Resort, Disneyland® Resort, or on Disney Cruise Line®, Imagineers are always working on creating new experiences for guests to enjoy! In the past couple months, the Walt Disney World® Resort has debuted the New Fantasyland® Area, a reimagined Test Track® Presented by Chevrolet®, and several other experiences throughout property. Disneyland® Resort completed a five-year expansion project last summer and next month will open Fantasy Faire inside Disneyland® Park. Both Disney Cruise Line® and Adventures by Disney® make regular changes to their itineraries to provide guests with the best experiences. And if you’ve only experienced a Disney Destination on one of the coasts, hop to the other side of the States as the Walt Disney World® and Disneyland® Resorts each offer a totally different experience with their own exclusive attractions!
  3. Myth: Because there is so much to do, it is best to go to on a Disney Vacation with no plan.
    A “vacation” is something different to each and every one of us! Some will want to plan each and every minute of the vacation while others will want to go with the flow once they get there. Regardless of how you picture your dream vacation, having a base plan will only benefit you! For example, during peak times finding a walk up opening at a Table Service Restaurant can be difficult! Even doing something as simple as reviewing and familiarizing yourself with the park maps beforehand can save you time in the parks. Discuss your preferences with your Magic Maker® so they can help you make the most of your vacation!
