I have taken over 10+ trips to Disney in my life – multiple as a kid, young adult, and now as a parent with two kids.  I have to say it was quite different being responsible for two kids instead of experiencing the magic as a kid yourself. You are extremely aware of all the stresses that go into a Disney vacation. There is the heat, crowds, and the inevitable cranky children. It isn’t always the perfect picture they paint in the commercials. That being said, for all Disney trips, I start planning early to make sure I have my Disney World essentials to make our vacation as stress free as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are my must-have items for heading to the park: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Unofficial Guide to Disney<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every year the publishers come out with a new version of this guide book<\/a>\"\" and it is always the first thing I buy when planning a Disney trip. It tells you about every single ride and restaurant, but more importantly it provides suggested tour plans. We adjust these to fit our needs, but the book provides multiple plans based on if you have small children or teens and if you have just one or multiple days to visit. By having a plan, you avoid wasting time deciding what ride you want to do or where you want to eat. The book suggests that you always arrive for rope drop (park opening) to avoid the longest lines. I have done this since I was little and I have to say it is the only way to do Disney and maximize your time in the park, especially during the peak crowd time. Now, I wouldn’t bring this book into the park (it is fairly large), but having a plan is definitely a must.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/head>\n\n
