Disney World Vacation Planning

My family and I are planning our first trip to Disney World this january- and are so excited! We are planning on staying at the Pop Century because of the over the top theming. We are overwhelmed trying to decide what resturants to eat at while in the parks. Any help would be awesome. :)

QUESTION OF THE WEEK: When you are planning your trip, what is the hardest thing to decide upon? Resort? Time of Year? What parks to visit? Let's hear!

Cochlas73, Don't worry, it is easier than it seems! Here are some starter questions; 1. When exactly are you going? 2. How are you getting there? 3. Do you have an idea of where you want to stay, or do you have a general budget set for the trip? Let's start with those, OK?

Where do I start the planning? My husband is taking me there as a late one year wedding anniversary in March. He ordered the DVD planner. It is almost overwhelming to me!

Welcome to Disney Family's Community. We are so glad to have you here. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. There is also a group called Group Leader Support that is a great source of information for any questions you may have and member tips as well!

Tink,

As to the 1 character meal, I would say that if you have a little girl, the Restaurant Akershus in the Norway Pavilion at Epcot is the best. That or Chef Mickey's. Depends on whom you want to see. Princesses or Mickey and Friends.

Tinkerbell,

You can ride the monorail without entering the parks, but you would typically have to pay to park at the Magic Kingdom to get to that area. Might not be worth the cost.

JM 106, while I am a HUGE fan of staying on property, I can't imagine that you would not want to enjoy the cost savings of getting a free place. Depends on all the factors, of course, but I would say take the free digs!
