It can be daunting to plan a trip to Disney World, but it can also be fantastic to just go with the flow. Find out how one family puts enjoyment, adaptability, and stress-free travel ahead of a strict schedule.
Disney World is sometimes referred to as the “Most Magical Place on Earth,” but with so many checklists, bookings, and travel advice saturating social media, organizing a vacation can easily become daunting.
The key to a genuinely amazing vacation for Nezhat Baygie and her family was to embrace flexibility.
When her daughter Aysha reached ten years in 2022, Baygie planned a trip to Disney World for her. At first, she was like many others-pressure to make everything just right. But she then found that overplanning was actually very stressful.
We would have been horrid if we had been running from one ride to another. We chose to adapt to the situation,” Baygie said.
Among the things they wanted to experience were seeing nightly shows and riding some of the popular rides. Other than these, they took things as they came.
They got there at ten o’clock in the morning, avoided the “rope drop,” and stopped when their feet got tired. “When our feet got tired, we’d sit, grab some snacks, and just wander around,” Baygie described.
They chose quick-service restaurants and accepted the inevitable lineups rather than indulging in Lightning Lane passes or table-service dinners. “Lines are expected at amusement parks,” she said.
Finding a rhythm that suits everyone and not striving for perfection are two tips that Baygie offers to families who are feeling overburdened. “Be content with what you can do because there is no way to do it all.”
Slowing down and allowing the magic to find you can sometimes lead to the most memorable experiences at Disney World.
