How to Plan Your First Disney World Trip

Planning your first trip to Walt Disney World can feel overwhelming. Where do you stay? How many days do you need? Should you get Park Hopper tickets?

In this episode, we walk through the exact process we used when we finally convinced our friends to take their family on their first Disney vacation—and everything we learned along the way.

In this episode, we cover:

• Where to stay (on-property vs off-property)
• How many days you actually need
• Park Hopper vs single park tickets
• How to prioritize rides, dining, and experiences
• The biggest mistakes first-timers make

Whether you’re planning your own first trip or helping friends and family navigate Disney, this episode gives you a clear starting point.
