Disney Travel Secrets - How To Do Disney

The rumors are flying about Disney World's Free Dining Promotion. On this show, we are sharing more info about how this promotion traditionally works, some of the requirements to get the promotion and tips on how to book, how to know if it is right for you and your vacation. At the time we recorded this the dining promo wasn't announced in the US, but we have a feeling it will drop this week. And perhaps even more important than saving money on dining, choosing the right resort is equally important. We break down more detail about the different Disney resort options in Florida (yes, there are over 20 resorts) and we talk through what makes the resorts different. There is a resort for every budget.  As a bonus this week, we have our WDW Resort Guide to help you choose your resort. You can get that on our site here.  If you need help planning your Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line or Adventures by Disney Vacation, please reach out to us to help you plan and book a magical vacation.
