Top 5 Tips for Managing Anxiety During Your Disney World Visit
#managinganxiety #managingexpectations #deepbreathing #anxiousmoms
So let’s chat managing our anxiety during our trip and my top 5 tips to do so 😌
5️⃣ Lower Expectations - do not expect because you’re at Disney suddenly your family’s habits will change. If your partner or kiddos don’t wake up at the crack ass of dawn at home, mama they are sure af not doing it on vacation. It’s okay if you don’t get to early entry or rope drop! All is not lost!
4️⃣ Give Wiggle Room for Breaks - it’s hot 🥵 you’re sweaty. The stroller wheel is wobbly. The kids are whiny. Your partner keeps asking what’s next. Girl, schedule in mini breaks! Popcorn, pretzel, potty, air conditioning, shows. Girl just do it! You need a breather and they do too!
3️⃣ Plan your Day Ahead - now I don’t mean a minute to minute play by play! You should have any dining times though through with an hour set aside prior for transportation AND your goal rides for the day! What are your top 5 rides/shows you have to do!?
2️⃣ Schedule at least ONE Planned Meal a Day - for me this is a must! I need decompression mid day. I prefer doing a lunch break! Some days an evening break and then relax at the resort is also a great fit!
1️⃣ Utilize a Travel Agent - it’s included in what you pay anyway so why not use my services 🤷🏻♀️ even seasoned clients get use from them!
What is a tips do you use to beat the anxiety?

Pool time is a must!

What’s so great about Disney’s Boardwalk Inn?
We always want to be well informed about any choices we make, but for many choosing the right resort can be stressful. You’re not alone in this mama.
There are some key things to remember when choosing the best resort for you and your family.
1. Location - Disney’s Boardwalk Inn is located in the Epcot area of the Walt Disney World resort. This gives you and your family easy access to Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, and Magic Kingdom.
2. Transportation - next we want to consider the transportation, are multiple transportation options important to your family? Personally for us, transportation is very important and is part of what dictates what resort we stay at. we love having multiple transportation options other than the bus it just allows us to have more flexibility.
3. Activities- all Walt Disney World resorts have a ton of activities that are available to you and your kiddos during your stay, but some resorts are better than others. Specifically you can see in this video that there are a lot of things to do with your kiddos not only are there different places to grab snacks? There’s also an arcade the pool area more specifically there is a main pool area with a little playground. There’s a hot tub and then there’s also additional quiet pool areas as well. They also have a ton of activities down at the pool for kiddos in the middle of the day as well as extra paid for activities, including making friendship, bracelets, and those friendship, bracelets are also Taylor Swift style.
One of the huge perks of using a travel agent is that during the consultation process these are things that I discuss with my potential clients so that I can better get to know your family or your group that will be going and I can provide the best available to you.

I see you. I see you running the kids to activities after working all day and cooking dinner (or picking it up) all while running on iced coffee and a granola bar that you found somewhere 😅
I see you trying to plan the best summer break because let’s face it… the past few years have been rough on the kiddos and you! You guys all deserve a little magic!
But, it’s confusing…
Where to stay, what parks, the extras. Do we need reservations for restaurants? Can we wing it? Do we need Genie+? What’s an ILL? What about my neurodivergent child, will this overwhelm them? Why is ALL of this planning so stressful!? Is it too late to book?
Hey, hey, it’s okay! Deep breaths! One of the best things about booking with an agent like me is I can help with ALL of this for free! That’s right! I’ll be your right hand man to help you plan the BEST and most ✨ Magical Adventure ✨ your family has ever had!

Uncertainty is the most stressful feeling.
I’ve been there not knowing HOW to plan 🤷🏻♀️ or even how to start! Not knowing the best dining, rides, or even knowing all the THINGS in the parks! I’ve been there wanting the best resorts possible but not knowing how to really budget out for it!
😂 if there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s that it PAYS to have someone to plan along side you! 👩🏻🤝👩🏼 Someone who can answer ALL your questions and get you the right answers! Let’s face it, half the time in those BIG Disney groups you get a mixture of information and it all contradicts itself!

I am a teacher by trade and currently work for a non profit in New York State 👩🏻🏫 I am a Senior Travel Planner with M&M Magical Adventures an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner 🥰 We are an Earmarked Gold Agency 💛 And U-Preferred with Universal Destinations & Experiences.
More importantly though, I help busy moms and dads plan the best trips for their families❤️ by reducing the planning stress and your stress while in the parks through my complimentary services.

So what is this whole thing about early entry at Walt Disney World right now?
If you are staying on property at a Walt Disney World resort you were able to enter all of the four parks 30 minutes prior to park opening to begin enjoying rides!
This is a great opportunity for families that have early risers to be able to accomplish 2 to 3 rides within that 30 minute timeframe and then get in line for their first ride of the day
One of the things that I help my clients with is reducing the stress during their trip so ahead of time we will plan out what are some of the parks that they do want to try to do early entry for!
👉🏻 Maybe it’s that they wanna ride seven dwarfs mine train, but they don’t wanna pay for the individual lightning lane attraction selection,
👉🏻 Maybe it’s that their kids are really obsessed with this one ride that they’ve been seeing online and they want to try to get that ride done as soon as possible.
👉🏻 Maybe it’s that there’s a ride that their kids want to do that always has a super long wait and they do not want to pay for Genie+
🤷🏻♀️ Maybe it’s just that they really want to enjoy a breakfast at the resort every morning and wander into the parks, grab an iced coffee, and get photos in front of the castle.
We will chat about how they can plan their day using Genie+ in order to maximize some of the time that they might have missed so they’re not waiting in super long lines.
One of the best things about Walt Disney World is the fact that there are no right and wrong answers. There are just choices and some choices are better than others for your family, so it’s super important to have somebody by your side to help guide you through those choices.
