Going to Disney World. NEED HELP?
Ok , me and my husband are planning to go to disney with our two kids 1 and 2 years of age. during the week of dec. 21 -25 three days out of that week. We are Florida residents so the price is discounted for tickets and the cheapest hotel is 25-32 dollars. I would like to know if the christmas fun will be available and what would that include? anything cheaper we could afford? budget for everything is about 450 dollars
The budget doesnt include souveniers. And i really want to make this a great experience for everyone.
Congratulations. That sounds like fun. Perhaps someone will answer you and mention crowd levels. I think that Christmas Day is actually a very busy day. I am not sure about the rest of the week so someone else would be better to provide that information.
Your budget will be very tight, though both of your kids get in to Disney free. To stay in your budget you will need to watch the food expenses carefully. Walt Disney World food prices can make you go broke. Also remember to include the daily parking fee in your budget.
I am not sure what you mean by ‘Christmas fun’. They do decorate lots of stuff for Christmas. At the Hollywood Studio they have one ‘street’ decked out in thousands and thousands of lights. It is really fun to see at night.
There is a ‘very merry Christmas Party’ at the Magic Kingdom. They close the park and sell special tickets to that event. The WDWINFO link below has a description but not much information yet.
Epcot has a Candle Light Processional. It is a huge choir/orchestra concert that includes famous guests for narrators. It is nice, but your kids might get bored.
I think all of the parades have a holiday twist to them.
Make sure you take a comfortable stroller with a big basket. It needs to be able to fold up so that you can put it on trams. You can put a bag with drink boxes, water bottles, and snacks in the basket. That will save you a huge amount of money. You can also toss in peanut butter sandwiches and call that lunch.
When traveling, we sometimes keep a box of Cheerios and a gallon of milk in a cooler in the hotel room. This allows us to feed the kids while we are getting ready in the morning, it is dirt cheap, it keeps us from wasting an hour in a breakfast place, and it keeps at least one fast food meal out of my tummy.
If you pick your days so that the crowds are as low as possible, it should be a really good time. Just remember that the kids may tire out easily, so you gotta deal with that. There is something special about taking kids around 2 years old to Walt Disney World. It is all very amazing to them.
Have fun. Wish I was going.
