Knowing what kind of vacation is best-suited to your family, where to find deals, and the choices you can make before you arrive can help remove some of the stress. If you&#8217;re one of the many Canadians considering heading across the border with your family, here are some planning tips to help make the most out of your Disney vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Know Your Budget<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking the family to Walt Disney World can be done economically, but it requires planning and research. When deciding on your vacation budget, it can help to look at key areas where you&#8217;ll be spending and decide what is most important for your trip. Do you want to stay on-site or off? Do you want a hotel with large rooms and a spa, or are you okay to sleep in bunkbeds? Are your kids happiest with chicken fingers, or are they aspiring foodies?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main expenses you&#8217;ll have to budget for include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Transportation and Lodging<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your actual budget should be based on real numbers, like the cost of airfare and nights in a hotel, which you can find out via travel sites like Expedia, Kayak and Disney Parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Park Tickets<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For park tickets, consider if your group will visit one park per day or want to see several \u2014 or even skip a day and spend it by the pool. Canadian residents can find <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/en_CA\/special-offers\/\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57676-dc76a619\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"discounts from Disney\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">discounts from Disney<\/a> which may give you more flexibility in your budget. And buying multi-day park tickets brings the per day cost of tickets down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Food<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For food options, Disney offers several dining options for you to pre-pay for meals, or you could pay as you go, so long as you&#8217;ve included this in your budget. <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/en_CA\/faq\/parks\/outside-food-and-drink\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bringing your own snacks and food<\/a> is always an option too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Special Activities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Special activities include the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival, special behind-the-scenes tours, character meals (not included in meal plans), miniature golf and special resort experiences like hay rides and boat rentals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Souvenirs\/Gifts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nobody merchandises like Disney, so it&#8217;s a safe bet a portion of your budget will go towards mementoes to help remember your trip. Plan on spending a set amount per child, or set the amount for them and let them choose how they want to spend it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip<\/strong>: Be sure to check Disney&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/en_CA\/special-offers\/\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57676-73c7e81b\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"Special Offers, Deals &amp; Discounts\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">Special Offers, Deals &amp; Discounts<\/a> page which features multiple ways to save, including exclusive offers for Canadian residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Decide Where to Stay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t visited Disney World before, you may not realize the number of choices you have for accommodations. Orlando boasts more than 400 hotels and resorts, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.visitorlando.com\/places-to-stay\/hotels-and-resorts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Visit Orlando<\/a>, so both Disney and the surrounding area have options to fit every budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Staying on Disney Property<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One way to get the most out of your trip to Disney is by staying at a Disney resort. Most parks are near the Disney resorts, so your travel time will be less if you stay on-property; additionally, by staying at a Disney resort you have free access to Disney buses, boats, or monorails, so you could skip renting a car. Guests staying on property get <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/guest-services\/extra-magic-hours\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Extra Magic Hours<\/a> \u2014 additional time in parks before opening or after they close to the general public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another perk of staying at a Disney resort is Disney&#8217;s Magical Express, which includes complimentary round-trip airport shuttle service and baggage delivery to your hotel room. Walt Disney World Resort <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/resorts\/boardwalk-inn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">operates 32 hotels<\/a> with a range of prices. Your options vary from campsites and Value resorts at the lower-end, to Moderate and Deluxe resorts, which include additional amenities like health clubs, spa services and more dining options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Staying Off-Property<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your family has a Harry Potter aficionado or a budding marine-biologist, staying off the Disney property may make it easier to visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.universalorlando.com\/web\/en\/us\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Universal Orlando<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/seaworld.com\/orlando\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SeaWorld Orlando<\/a>. Luckily, Orlando&#8217;s biggest theme parks are all located within a 24-km radius, so staying close to the fun should be easy. Check for accommodations around International Drive (&#8220;I-Drive&#8221; as the locals call it), a popular tourist location with many chain hotels to choose from. If you&#8217;re looking for a little more space, try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airbnb.ca\/s\/Orlando--FL--United-States\/homes\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57676-56ea78f4\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"Airbnb Orlando\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">Airbnb Orlando<\/a> for house\/condo rentals or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.visitorlando.com\/places-to-stay\/vacation-homes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Visit Orlando<\/a>&#8216;s vacation home rental suggestions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip<\/strong>: If you choose to stay off-property at a hotel or resort, ask if they provide complementary shuttle services to area theme parks. Many hotels now offer free shuttles, which can save you money on gas and parking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/08\/1632425-0212ZW_0278MSa-33.jpg\" alt=\"Two young brothers laugh while trying to pull out the sword in the stone at the Magic Kingdom.\" class=\"wp-image-11057\" title=\"Two young brothers laugh while trying to pull out the sword in the stone at the Magic Kingdom.\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explore Your Dining Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For large groups, it may be easier and more cost-effective to pre-pay for your meals with one of Disney&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/dining\/plans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dining plans<\/a>.

It is also helpful to know<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>how far in advance you can book meals and FastPass+ choices for Disney attractions. For both kinds of reservations, you can use the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/plan\/my-disney-experience\/mobile-apps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">My Disney Experience<\/a>&nbsp;app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dining Reservations: 180 Days in Advance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically you can&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/dining\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">make dining reservations<\/a>&nbsp;at table-service restaurants 180 days ahead of the day you\u2019d like to dine. Some restaurants fill up faster than others, such as the&nbsp;<em>Be Our Guest<\/em>&nbsp;restaurant in The Magic Kingdom,&nbsp;<em>Le Cellier<\/em>&nbsp;in Epcot\u2019s Canada Pavilion, or any of the character meet-and-greet meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip<\/strong>: Lunch reservations tend to have more availability, and you may be able to score a reservation if you are willing to eat an hour before peak dining times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fastpass+ Reservations: 30 or 60 Days in Advance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney\u2019s FastPass+ system allows you to reserve attractions, shows, and character meet-and-greets ahead of your trip. The FastPass+ helps you cut down on the time your family spends waiting in line for rides and attractions. If you are staying at a non-Disney property, you can begin choosing your FastPass+ reservations at 7 a.m. EST 30 days in advance of your visit. If you choose to stay at a Disney property, you can make your FastPass+ reservations up to 60 days in advance of your check-in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"683\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/09\/1632424-0217ZW_0556MS-34.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\" Family enjoying ride in Disney World\" class=\"wp-image-66161\" title=\"Two young brothers laugh while trying to pull out the sword in the stone at the Magic Kingdom.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/09\/1632424-0217ZW_0556MS-34.jpg 1540w, https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/09\/1632424-0217ZW_0556MS-34.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/09\/1632424-0217ZW_0556MS-34.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/09\/1632424-0217ZW_0556MS-34.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/09\/1632424-0217ZW_0556MS-34.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bottom Line<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re taking your family to Walt Disney World, you\u2019ll want to spend some time creating a budget and researching ways to make the most of your trip.
