I know it's still Winter. And ridiculously cold where I am so I don't even want to think about winter anymore. But Summer is coming! It may seem a long way off but June will be here in 4 short months!
Have you made plans for your Summer Vacation yet? If you're like me you're thinking, "Well I've got 4 months - tons of time to figure it out!"
The problem is that if you're thinking of a trip to Disney World (and if you aren't, I don't know if we can be friends...), you need to be well into the planning process for a summer trip. Yes, you can certainly go without planning and have a spectacular time. But if you want to have a spectacular time where you do everything you want and with the least amount of waiting possible, you've got to plan in advance.
Advanced Dining Reservations (Disney speak for sit-down restaurant reservations) are available starting 6 months out. So if you or your kids have dreams of eating at a specific restaurant (like the castle!), you really need to get those reservations on the 6 month mark.
All hope isn't lost if you don't get them 6 months out - sometimes Disney Magic works in your favor and a reservation opens up. But sometimes, it just doesn't. I have a client right now wanting to eat at Be Our Guest and nothing is open for their timeframe. I log in and look for open slots up to 6 times a day and have been doing that for a few weeks now and nothing. Makes me sad to think of them at Disney World and not getting to do something they had their hearts set on.
So please - call me and let's talk about what you'd like to do! Disney requires a $200 deposit to book a vacation package. Of course, plans change, so that amount is fully refundable as long as you cancel at least 30 days prior to your trip. So you really have nothing to lose by booking early - and I'll be able to get all of the reservations you'd like if we do it far enough out!
Bring on SUMMER!!!
