Creator's Key Takeaways

The more crowded it is, the more it's going to cost. Bottom line, which is kind of counterintuitive when you think of it, but that's the way it works.

If you're booking a cruise, work with a travel agent. I mean, that to me that's a no-brainer. Always work with the travel agent when you're booking a cruise.

If you want to stay in an on-site hotel and let's say as an example, if I was if I lived driving distance from Walt Disney World, honestly, I'd take the bus.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book your Disney hotel as soon as possible because specific room types and suites fill up quickly.

✓Use Touring Plans to monitor crowd calendars to avoid peak times.

✓When booking dining, remember the 60-day window and try to book reservations for later in your trip to increase success.

✓If staying on-site, you do not need to rent a car; use the Disney transportation system instead.

✓Always check rental car prices via Costco for potentially lower rates.

Complexity of the booking process — Follow a 'soup to nuts' approach, deciding on timing, lodging, and transportation in a specific order.

High costs of theme park visits — Consider staying at moderate resorts or off-site vacation homes to balance price and convenience.
