WDW Prep To Go Podcast – WDW Prep School show

Summary: After months of planning your Disney World trip, what should you be doing in the final days before you leave? I get asked that question a lot so I have some tips on doing that which will allow you to kick off your trip as relaxed as possible. I also have a quick tip about an easy way to make sure you always have cold water while you're at Disney World. These are notes from this episode. There's much more info included in the audio so be sure to listen to the episode for a better explanation. What to do before your trip I think your goal should be to start your trip off as relaxed and unanxious as possible. Try to move into vacation mode so you're ready to have a fun trip. Here are some suggestions for doing that: Pack a week ahead of time, using the Ultimate Disney World Packing List to help you remember everything you want to take with you Although most info is available digitally, print off all hotel, dining and FastPass+ reservation info Figure out if you want to buy snacks to take along or have them delivered through a service like GardenGrocer.com Finalize your touring plans so you're not worried about that during your trip Make a final To Do List of little things that still need to be done and don't wait until the last minute to do them Give yourself plenty of time to get to the airport. You never know if there will be busy traffic or long airport security lines. Consider using vacation travel bags for kids which can keep them busy once you arrive at the airport gate. Quick tip of the day Just about anywhere at Disney World (including small kiosks) will give you cups of ice for free. I like doing this as an alternative to carrying water bottles which can be heavy, especially if you need several bottles of water for your family.
