So you’ve planned your trip during a time that’s less busy and less expensive but…you’re traveling to Florida at the same time that the hurricanes are.
In fact, AccuWeather is predicting that there will be 8 hurricanes this year and has specifically said that Florida could be hit directly.
Florida is long overdue for a direct hurricane hit, according to AccuWeather meteorologist Dan Kottlowski. Though the state has been hit by named tropical storms in the past couple of years, he says, a direct hit by a hurricane has not occurred since Hurricane Charley in 2004.
Although June – November is officially considered hurricane season, most activity takes place in August, September and October.
Here’s what to do if you’re traveling during that time.
Up until a couple of years ago, you could collect FastPasses all day and Disney was very liberal about allowing you to return way past the return window.
That policy changed and Disney theme parks now enforce the return time. This minimizes the number of FastPasses you can hold at any given time but there is a trick that will allow you to get multiple FastPasses at the same time.
I’m so happy to finally be hitting publish on some custom maps that I hope will be super useful to you.
My goal is for you to have one 8.5×11 piece of paper that you can take into each of the Disney World parks containing all of the info you’ll need for that day.
No more unfolding maps, referencing multiple files for info, or looking back and forth between the map and key.
These maps are free for you to download and have lots of good info in them.
Last time I visited Disney World, people kept asking why I didn’t write a trip report. I’m not sure why I didn’t, but this time I’m writing one right away before I forget all of the details.
After being on every other platform, there is finally a WDW Prep Facebook page. Let’s kick things off with a fun contest. You can even enter right on the site.
I’ve always done Disney World with people who who were fully on board with how I plan and really like the way I do things.
We get up early, get to the bus stop at 8, enter the parks when they open, tour according to a plan, take afternoon breaks, etc.
I often get emails from people asking me how to do Disney World with people who aren’t into this style of touring. I never really had an answer to that since I’d never had to think about it.
Over the years, I’ve accumulated lots of little tidbits of info that have helped make our trips better. Today, I have a video sharing 5 of those with you.
These tips actually will work for a lot of trips, not just Disney.
