Planning a Disney or Universal vacation should feel exciting — not stressful. But if you’ve ever opened a million tabs trying to figure out resorts, tickets, dining, and transportation, you know it can quickly feel overwhelming.
Good news: it doesn’t have to be that way! With just a few clear steps, you can start planning the vacation of your dreams without the stress. Here’s how to take those first steps with confidence:
Step 1: Decide When You Want to Go
The first big decision is when you want to travel.
Are you tied to school breaks or holiday weekends? Looking for lower crowds and cooler weather? Different times of year can mean very different experiences, and prices! Tip: If your dates are flexible, I can help you pick the best time to balance crowds, weather, and budget.
Step 2: Set Your Budget
Next, think about what you want to spend overall.
Budgeting early helps narrow down your choices for resorts, ticket types, and extras like dining plans or Express Passes. Remember: magical vacations exist at every price point — it’s all about choosing what matters most to your family.
Step 3: Pick Your Destination
Are you dreaming of walking down Main Street, U.S.A. with a Mickey-shaped snack in hand? Or would your family be happier racing through the Wizarding World with wands and Butterbeer?
Choosing between Disney and Universal (or doing both!) will shape everything else about your trip.
Need help deciding? I’ll ask you a few quick questions to match you with your perfect destination!
Step 4: Choose Where to Stay
Your resort sets the tone for your whole trip — and there’s something for everyone.
Want to stay right in the middle of the magic? Prefer a quieter place to recharge at night? From value resorts to luxury hotels, we’ll find the perfect fit for your family and your budget.
Bonus: Some resorts even come with major perks like Early Park Admission or free Express Passes!
