20 Rookie Mistakes to Avoid When Visiting Disney World 

Visiting Disney World in Florida is a dream vacation. You can’t imagine how much fun it is and how much there is to see- but rookie mistakes can cost you time and money Don’t let all of your hard work and planning go to waste. Check out these 20 rookie mistakes to avoid when visiting Disney World to make sure that you don’t get caught in any of the common pitfalls. 

Staying Off-site

While you might have concerns about the price of Disney-branded hotels, if you are careful you can get great package deals that make the on-site hotels more economical. You will also find that you have more of a true Disney experience when you stay within the Disney bubble. Don’t sell your experience short by missing out on all that Disney hotels have to offer.

Planning a Disney Holiday

It might sound super idyllic to have a Disney holiday, but leave that to the vets. Disney World gets extremely crowded on holidays and the price of pretty much everything goes up. For the best prices and the best experience, avoid planning your trip to Disney on a major holiday.

Buying the Wrong Tickets

Not all Disney tickets were created equal. Of course, you will need to get the correct number of tickets for the right dates, but in addition to that, you will need to consider other options from Park Hopper options to water parks and sports options. Make sure that the tickets that you choose are giving you the experiences that matter most to you.

Not Downloading the App

Like the commercial says, “There’s an app for that!” 

Don’t miss out on great opportunities and deals that are only available through the Disney app. The My Disney Experience App gives you maps with up to date ride wait times, quick service restaurant mobile ordering, and much more. Make sure everyone in your party has downloaded it and learned how it works before you go.
