It was hard to keep the trip a secret from them, but the reaction was so worth it. &nbsp;It&#8217;s been one year since the day we took off on this fantastic trip, and I am ready to blog the pants off of this thing. &nbsp;I can&#8217;t wait to give you all the tips I learned on my 7th time visiting this wonderful place. &nbsp;This is part 1 of a series of 6 posts about Disney World. &nbsp;This first post will prepare you on how to plan for a trip for Walt Disney World. &nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif; font-size: large;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: small;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif; font-size: large;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: small;\">Check out the video below to see our kids reactions to the BIG news.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HsF8hrLxQ5E\" width=\"420\"><\/iframe><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif; font-size: large;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: small;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif; font-size: large;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: small;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><br \/><u style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif; font-size: large;\">Trip Itinerary<\/span><\/u><br \/><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\"><br \/>Overall this was an 8 night, 9 day trip. &nbsp;I know you may be thinking, &#8220;Do I really want to spend 9 days at a theme park?&#8221; &nbsp;Yes, yes you do. &nbsp;If you want to immerse yourself in the full Disney World experience, you have to realize that you could stay a whole year here and NOT see all it has to offer. &nbsp;The longer you stay, the more you will get to see and do. &nbsp;Also, this ain&#8217;t a trip for the faint of heart. &nbsp;You will NOT be relaxing much on this vacation if you want to get your money&#8217;s worth, so maybe plan a little down time after your trip to recover. &nbsp;This was the longest Disney World trip we had ever taken, and it still went by in the flash of an eye. &nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\"><br \/>Day 1: Flew from Los Angeles, CA to Orlando, FL. &nbsp;We took the complimentary airport shuttle, (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wdwinfo.com\/transportation\/magical-express.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Disney&#8217;s Magical Express<\/a>) which is free if you stay in a Disney Property Hotel, straight to the resort.

, &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/plan\/my-disney-experience\/my-magic-plus\/\" target=\"_blank\">My Magic +<\/a> &#8211; As soon as you buy your tickets, sign up for a Walt Disney World account and start planning your experiences. &nbsp;You can book your fastpasses and plan your dining reservations up to 30 days in advance if you are just going to the parks, or 60 days in advance if you are also staying at a Disneyland Resort hotel. &nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/plan\/my-disney-experience\/fastpass-plus\/\" target=\"_blank\">Fastpass +<\/a> &#8211; Once you make a Disney World account, go ahead and enter your ticket reservation code under the My Disney Experience tab and start booking those fastpasses. &nbsp;These are FREE, so make sure you take advantage of them. &nbsp;You can pre-book three fastpasses per person, per day at a park. &nbsp;Choose the date and the park you are going to for that date, and it will list three tiers of rides. &nbsp;One tier includes the big attractions (Space Mountain), the second tier is the medium attractions (Pirates of the Carribean), and the third tier is the attractions that usually have a very small wait time (Philharmagic Show). &nbsp;Pick one in each of the&nbsp;categories&nbsp;and the hour window you want to go. &nbsp;My tip would be to book the fastpasses earlier in the day because once you have used them all, you can download the Walt Disney World app and book more fastpasses for the same day, but you have to have used or let your first three reservations expire before you can do this. &nbsp;These fastpass reservations will then be connected to your park ticket or Magic Band, and you will be on your way. Again, the Fastpass + is included with your theme park tickets or annual passes and is no extra cost to you, so make sure you take advantage.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/dining\/\" target=\"_blank\">Disney Dining<\/a> &#8211; I will go into detail about where you need to eat later in this blog, but I beg you to make your dining reservations as soon as you possibly can. &nbsp;The table service&nbsp;restaurants&nbsp;are&nbsp;so popular, and they fill up fast. &nbsp;I did the math, and buying a dining plan is NOT worth it. &nbsp;Do your own planning and you will save money and have the flexibility of eating where you want and when you want. &nbsp;We did 1-2 table service restaurants a day. &nbsp;The food is amazing and worth it, and the counter service restaurants cost almost as much as the counter service restaurants anyway. &nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/faq\/bands-cards\/understanding-magic-band\/\" target=\"_blank\">Magic Bands<\/a> &#8211; It is worth ordering the Magic Bands rather then standard ticket cards. &nbsp;The Magic Bands are waterproof electronic bracelets that work as your park ticket, hotel room key, fastpass reservation, and payment (if you choose to connect a credit card). &nbsp;No more trying to dig around and find those park tickets or room keys, they are on your arm. This option is free with your park ticket purchase.&nbsp;\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-DdMrmw6xxVM\/VwMTN30v7rI\/AAAAAAAAnuA\/mKfqOW4oKAY93OGuruB8B9p4O1Ywuaiaw\/s1600\/IMG_1420.JPG?ssl=1\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-DdMrmw6xxVM\/VwMTN30v7rI\/AAAAAAAAnuA\/mKfqOW4oKAY93OGuruB8B9p4O1Ywuaiaw\/s320\/IMG_1420.JPG?resize=320%2C240&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">It was fun having the annual passholder Magic Band.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-wLAna-vR90M\/VwMTNnnx06I\/AAAAAAAAnuE\/aiuKbpISwJAO9dW-KOGFNHL4nV0raiBYQ\/s1600\/IMG_1437.JPG?ssl=1\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-wLAna-vR90M\/VwMTNnnx06I\/AAAAAAAAnuE\/aiuKbpISwJAO9dW-KOGFNHL4nV0raiBYQ\/s320\/IMG_1437.JPG?resize=320%2C320&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Team Magic Band ready to get our WDW on!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\">Make sure you pack:&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\">Comfortable walking shoes &#8211; break them in before you come<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\">&nbsp;Mole skin &#8211; to cover blisters<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\">Ziploc bags to put phones and electronic devices in on water rides, or when it rains<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\">Ponchos &#8211; it rains a lot in Florida, and out of absolutely nowhere.
