Just got back yesterday from Disney World and I wanted to share a couple of thoughts; I’ll blog more in-depth later. This is the first trip I’ve taken where I specifically did a few things for the blog, so I have lots to say! Here’s a brief run-down for now.
- Pack early. I was very busy the week before I left that I put off packing until the last minute. As a result, I forgot a few things that I really needed. Like toothpaste. (Don’t worry, I got some).
- Disney IS for grown-ups. A friend seemed surprised when I got back that I didn’t take the kids and when I told her that many adults go without their kids (or don’t have kids at all), she was shocked.
- Don’t be shy. If you’re a Disney fan, go to a meet-up. Follow your favorite bloggers and podcasters on Twitter and join them if you’re down there. They’re friendly and they like the same things you do!
- The Halloween party is more than worth the cost. I don’t even like parades and this one had me mesmerized.
- Don’t be afraid to go for a walk-up at your favorite restaurant.
- Used Lines again. It was indispensable. Even showed a college cast member who approached me about it how to use it. If you’re on the fence, get it. It costs less than a burger and fries at Pecos Bills.
- Via Napoli is probably my favorite new restaurant. Disney finally got pizza right.
- If you think you’re going back in the next year, buy an annual pass. Between the room discount (which I got at the last minute, after no general discounts were available) and merchandise and dining discounts, I’ve already saved about $150.
- Resort theming is more important than I thought.
- Going with a large group of people requires a lot of planning and coordination.
I’ll try to start putting up more later today and I’ll be answering some readers’ Q&A on different topics over at Chip and Co today as well, if you’d like to see those. What a great trip!
