Some Disney freebies to help you plan

For those of you who are new to Walt Disney World, or just want more information, there are some fun free things from Disney to help you plan.


One I highly recommend is the free Disney planning DVD. You just give Disney your info and this fun packet comes in the mail. It's a great way to preview the parks and get excited about the trip. There is also an online component for those who can't wait.

Even cooler are the free customized Disney park maps. They are beautiful keepsakes and in picking out elements for them, you get to explore elements at each of the parks.

If you have an Iphone or Ipad, you can download the free My Disney Experience App. This has park maps, FASTPASS return times for rides, locations of characters in the parks, and even lets you make dining reservations right in the application. I definitely recommend checking this out. And remember that you should make dining reservations in advance if you want to eat at a table service restaurant in the park. There are very few walk-up tables available.

Want to get in the Disney spirit? You can listen to Radio Disney on the free Radio Disney App. There are also some neat new apps that let you want Disney Chanel shows even if you don't subscribe. The website version is available here.
Brian and I with Phineas and Ferb at Hollywood Studios
There is a new interactive attraction at Epcot related to Phineas and Ferb, so I recommend checking one of those episodes out if you like cartoons.

Another great resource is Mousesavers.com. It has a great list of free or cheap things to do at Walt Disney World. I highly recommend checking out Downtown Disney, as it will be decorated for Christmas and have lots of points of interest.

And then there are always the awesome You Tube videos. Here is one of the fireworks at the Magic Kingdom!

    Thanks for the neat ideas on planning ahead and saving money! Since I went to Disney as a child, I got experience the parades and fireworks, and Will and I think we'll wait to do those again until we have children. We really enjoy getting a nice reservation at a restaurant, taking our time with our table service meal, and walking back leisurely to get to transportation to our room. It's really nice to spend the time talking about the day, what we enjoyed, and what we might enjoy doing the next day. I LOVE that there is an iPad app, by the way! Will and I have android phones, so we tend to miss out on the iPhone-only apps. Now that we have an iPad (generously given to us by Will's parents), we can set our itineraries around what we might enjoy. Thanks again for all this wonderful information!
