Disney World Trip 2016 - PreTrip #1

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

I've been wanting to write something about my Disney trip for a while, and Steemit just gave me this chance to write it out.

I still remember I went to Orlando Disney world with my grad school friends in 2012 and we had so much fun. When watching the amazing firework in Magic Kingdom, I told myself to bring my significant other enjoying this firework together someday in the future.

One night in Fall 2016, I was planning our birthday plans with my husband. We found that we just got enough JetBlue points to fly Orlando for free, so we decided immediately going to Disney World and this time we are aiming for all the theme parks there, Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studio, and Animal Kingdom.

This time we planned a 6 day - 5 nights trip with limit budget. Therefore, we set up a challenge to ourselves, that was trying to play almost everything in every park per day, and at the end of the trip, we finished 99% of our plan.
We planned out all the routes we were going on each park and ride beforehand, and rated every ride we've taken. We walked almost 20,000 - 25,000 steps per day, so this review is suitable for young and energetic people.

Date: 09/21/16 - 09/26/16
Amount of people: Medium to High
(It's really important to check how crowded the park is before going. We could achieve One Day Per Park because the time we went was not super super crowded and also we used magic hours wisely)

Pre Planning:
I would say probably Disney is one of the places that you definitely need to plan ahead (not talking about VIP trip).
There are some websites I would like to recommend:

Although the Disney website is very slow, you can reserve Fastpass(this is for everyone), check Magic hours(for people who live in Disney resorts, they get extra time to enjoy the parks), show times, maps, and buy theme tickets and resorts.

We also recommend this Undercover Tourist website. It contains a lot of information about the parks, including how crowded the parks are, special events, etc. It's very convenient! When we were there, there were 5/10( Yellow: Mid-Crowded) for 3 days, and 8/10 (Red: very crowded)for 2 days.
