When I first started planning my first trip to Disney World and then my first trip to Disney Land I needed a lot of help planning! It was ridiculous! I felt so overwhelmed by Fastpasses, reservations and how early it seemed that I needed to plan things. I almost quit planning and put off the trip because I felt confused and like I wouldn’t have a good time because I wasn’t doing it right. However, I am here to show you the good ones in order to get your planning under way the right way!!

If you use any of these planning resources you are sure to have a better trip than planning yourself. These people basically live and breathe Disney planning and WANT to help you have a good trip and be prepared!

WDW PREP SCHOOL

Shannon and her team run a great blogging service that I STILL use when I'm planning trips! Her crowd calendars are spot on and her insights are ever so helpful! She has an easy step by step guide of how to plan your trip so you can bite off your planning in small chunks! She has diagrams of where to stand during fireworks to how to navigate the parks easily. Check their site off HERE!
