Researching a Walt Disney World Vacation

Here are the links I am enjoying to figure out what in the Disney World my family should choose to do during our first trip there this Spring. Of course I started at the WDW web page. Then I branched out to discount travel services like Expedia for our flights. Next I cross referenced the packages with the costs of purchasing the elements (flight, room, tickets, food) separately. In our case I couldn't see any way that the package was going to come out cheaper than finding the deals separately, so I did it that way. After booking the flight and room, I began to research more specific things to do and see at WDW. There is no way to see it all so you've got to figure out what you really will enjoy. That's not so easy. For example it isn't that easy for me to admit that my young kids will like the playgrounds and pool as much or more than the rides. But once I accept it to be true, I can more easily cross off a lot of rides (and lines) from our list and make sure to include only our favorite rides, as well as a lot of relaxing free time for play areas, pools, and "nothing" stuff like walking around or shopping or eating or exploring. It would be all too easy to go to WDW and stand in line and eat bad food all week, not knowing what hit you. If you want it to be truly enriching as a vacation should be, you've got to take a look before you arrive.
