Planning Your Disney World Vacation
Planning a trip to Walt Disney World is a daunting task even for repeat visitors. We'll make your trip planning as easy as possible with our step-by-step guides and easy-to-use tools, saving time and money every step of the way.
Step 1: Deciding when to visit
Use our Crowd Calendar to see the best times to visit Walt Disney World. You can use our Crowd Calendar to plan around children's school schedules, holidays, and special events that happen at Walt Disney World.
If you're on a budget, our friends at MouseSavers have a useful page showing the dates when Disney hotels have offered discounts.
Step 2: Deciding where to stay
TouringPlans has a no-fee travel agency, and you can request a free, no-obligation quote if you'd like to support our site and let us help you book a Walt Disney World trip.
Walt Disney World visitors may stay at a large variety of hotels on and off Disney property, with a wide range of themes and prices. First, take a look at our "Staying Onsite or Offsite?" and "Disney World Resort Benefits" pages to decide which one is right for you. If you decide to stay on Disney property, we have in-depth overviews on every Walt Disney World hotel.
We'll even show you what your room view will look like with our new Hotel Room Views tool. It shows a picture of the view you’ll get from every hotel room in Walt Disney World. More than 30,000 photos. Completely searchable. We’ll even tell you the exact words to give Disney to request a specific room. Here’s a sample: Hotel Room Views at Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside.

Step 3: Buying the right tickets
Disney has dozens of admission ticket options to choose from, and finding the cheapest combination can take hours. You can save money with our Disney World Ticket Discount Calculator - it will find your cheapest tickets in under 10 seconds by comparing prices from Disney and Disney-approved wholesalers.
Step 4: Selecting your touring plans
When you're in the parks, you need a game plan for each day. Our Touring Plans are step-by-step guides that save you up to 4 hours of standing in line every day. We've got 150 family-tested templates to start with, for every park. Customize any plan by adding attractions, meals, and breaks.
Don't know what to ride? We have detailed reviews of every ride, show and attraction in Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom, including best times to visit each attraction, the ride’s potential for frightening small children, height requirements, handicap accessibility features, and ratings. Most reviews include comments from other families, so you can get a wide range of opinions on every experience. We even cover Disney’s water parks - Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon.
Step 5: Making FastPass+ ride and show reservations
FastPass+ is Disney's reservation system for rides and shows. We'll tell you how to make FastPass+ reservations, and tips and tricks you need to know.
Step 6: Deciding where to eat
Food is a big part of everyone's Walt Disney World vacations, with so many choices it can make your head spin. We have up-to-date menus, prices, and reviews for every Walt Disney World restaurant, food cart, kiosk, bar, and stand, including Disney Dining Plan participation and other discounts. Included in this is a handy search feature lets you find the specific food you’re craving. And you’ll learn how to evaluate Disney’s Dining Plan to see if it makes sense for you.
Step 7: When you're in the parks
You can even see your plans on your phone! Our mobile app Lines is the highest-rated Disney World park app in iTunes and Google Play - even higher than Disney’s own app! Lines shows you Disney’s official wait time plus how long you’ll really wait in line at each attraction. Use Lines to get instant updates to your touring plan, search menus, see parade and fireworks times, chat with Disney experts, and more. For iPhone, Android, and other smartphones.
