When should you start planning a Disney vacay?

The crazy answer is a year out would be ideal! Resort rooms book up fast - especially during popular travel times like fall break, summer vacations and winter holidays. But really you want to be prepared to jump on dining reservations and FastPasses when they become available. Dining can be booked 180 days before your trip and FastPasses 60 days out. And you might even have to log on at 5am when the reservation center opens to get the really good restaurants like Cinderella’s Castle.

I’ve seen a few tear-filled turnaways when a family walks up to the Castle and ask for a table without a reservation because they didn’t know!

If you don’t want to worry about remembering dates or even making reservations, let me handle it for you. Like your very own wish-granting Genie!
