Step 1: Book your vacay

Finding a time when your whole family can coordinate a trip to Orlando is one of the hardest parts of planning your WDW vacay. It seems like there’s a game, work obligation or meeting everywhere you look. I know it’s hard to plan time to get ahead on assignments and/or catch up after a family vacation.

Trust me, once you shuffle a few things around, I’m sure you’ll agree that making amazing memories together always wins.

Planning your trip around festivals and special events is a great way to experience something special or that’s offered for only a limited time. If this is your first trip, these are a great times to visit. If this isn’t your first trip or you enjoy a slower-paced trip, these special events are the perfect time to avoid for smaller the crowds.

Either way, take a look at Disney’s schedule so you can to plan the best time of year to visit for you.
