You do not need to do everything. Pick the moments your family will remember — a castle morning, a character meal, fireworks, a favourite ride — and let Deanna shape park days, rest time and reservations around those.
Quick answers
Three park days is a strong starting point for most first visits. Four days gives families more flexibility, especially during busy seasons.
Book once your dates are reasonably firm, particularly for school holidays, Christmas and popular Disney Hotels. Dining and travel can then be layered in at the right time.
Not always. Meal plans can suit guests who prefer predictable costs and table-service meals, while flexible diners may prefer paying as they go.
