READERS
People thought I was obsessive & crazy for listening to all of your info, but we got to the parks and it was astounding how precise your information was when laid out on my spreadsheet/itinerary (no one thought I was crazy any longer). We had the time of our lives! In 4 days, we went to all 4 parks (3 we went to twice), went on all of the rides we wanted, saw all the shows we wanted, had some hours by the pool and got plenty of sleep. I can’t thank you enough. I am a trained military logistician and all of your research and information was so incredibly impressive. Again … thank you.

I was back and forth on using a travel agent and decided with the help of your blog, to go it alone. I was so nervous about how it would turn out being my very first trip, but it exceeded my expectations. Thanks for all you do with your blog. It really helped me plan a magical trip for my family! I’m already working on the next one!

I just got back from a five night stay at Coronado Springs and had the best time! Even though I went during the busy season I barely waited in any lines and was able to do everything I wanted!

ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Hi, I’m Shannon Albert.
I created WDW Prep School in 2012 after planning several trips for myself and others, so that other people could learn the tips and tricks to plan their own trips.
Somebody once said that I take my fun job very seriously, which is 100% true. My approach is give you plenty of information so that you can put together good plans, and then encourage you to combine plans with flexibility to make the most of your vacation time.
What started as a website soon grew to also include the WDW Prep To Go podcast, active social media accounts, and a Patreon community.
FAQs
HOW OFTEN DO YOU GO TO DISNEY WORLD?
What used to be an every-other-year trip schedule became 2-3 times a year, and now we go to Disney World every 4-6 weeks. Things change so quickly and frequent trips are so handy to stay on top of the latest and greatest information.
DOES DISNEY PAY FOR YOUR TRAVEL?
No, we pay for our own travel. In the rare instance that something is provided for us, we will always disclose that.
