Planning your first Disney World holiday can be daunting. The resort is huge - bigger than Manhattan and it caters to people of all ages who span the globe. Here is some information that can help you make decisions about how to plan your first visit to Walt Disney World.

Walt Disney World, What is it Exactly?

Walt Disney World is so large that it may seem impossible to decide what to do and how to do it. This is the reason why you need to plan your whole trip. Thankfully, planning is very easy.

The resort is comprised of the four great theme parks, two fantastic water parks, more than twenty resort hotels, and a vast range of restaurants and opportunities for fun recreation.

You probably already know the names of the famous parks: Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Disney's Animal Kingdom. And not only that, there are 2 more parks - water parks, to be exact! - known as Blizzard Beach and Lagoon.

You'll find Disney characters together with amazing fireworks, wonderful parades, and all the other Disney classic attractions at the Magic Kingdom. Technology advancements, as well as cultures from around the world are the two main attractions inside Epcot. The Animal Kingdom, the largest animal-themed park in the world, is where you will encounter adventure, amazing animals, and plenty of attractions.

Most families enjoy the water parks most of all. Imagine swimming with sharks...the Shark Reef features this great adventure in Disney's Typhoon Lagoon, which also features the Surf Poll where you can find water rides safe for children. Not only that, if you're looking for much rougher waterslides, the Blizzard Beach showcases this fun adventure, perfect for both adults and teenagers.

Vacation Packages

There are vacation packages available for a visit to Disney resorts, like the Magic Your Way Vacation Package.

These flexible vacation packages include accommodations at a Disney resort, theme park tickets, and resort benefits. You can customize these vacation packages to your needs with different accommodations and ticket options.

Staying at a Disney Resort Hotel

Staying at a Disney resort hotel gives you more time in the parks. Plus you can take advantage of free transportation between the parks, the hotels, and other Disney places like Downtown Disney. Another advantage is having free airport transfers with Disney's Magical Express bus service. No need to worry about your luggage! Magical Express will pick it up and deliver it to your Disney resort hotel room.

Which Disney Resort?

Disney resort hotels are suited for all budgets - all the way from Cabins and Campgrounds to Deluxe Villas. In between, there are Value Resorts, Moderate Resorts, and Deluxe Resorts.

Every hotel is magically Disney-themed. You can walk along a seaside boardwalk, meet up with wild animals, visit New Orleans' French Quarter, or relive pop culture from that long ago previous century, the Twentieth. You will also find pirate ships, as well as sandy lagoons in swimming pools. And some restaurants have Disney characters as staff to serve the guests, too.

And if you just want to chill, relax, and play golf, Disney also has championship golf courses that dads will surely enjoy.

Extra Planning Tools

Walt Disney World can provide you with a free DVD for planning your Disney vacation. There are also expert planners that you can consult to help you choose or customize a Magic Your Way vacation package at the Walt Disney World resort website. The site also provides you with the My Disney vacation planning tool.

Planning Ahead of Time

There are dining and recreation experiences at Disney World that require reservations, so make sure to reserve 180 days prior to your visit. Disney's Dining Finder is a must-try tool that allows you to search and get info about special events and restaurants all around the parks.

It is important to plan your Disney vacation at least 6 months in advance.
