You need to do some research. Read the "Unofficial Guide to Disneyworld."

My recommendation is Adventures Assembled. They planned an amazing Disney trip for us. We gave them our budget and they did all the rest.

Op here. Is there a Disney agent in person in MoCo area that I can talk and book with? Any advantages of booking through agent than buying packages? I am the kind of person always using city passes to plan my vacation trips. I see that vacation package seems easier to me, but probably I should talk to someone for a better experiences.

I think you need to start by looking up a basic guide to Disneyworld.

I think it is called lightning lane multipass now. Not to be confused with lightning lane single passes.

You could do sea world

Go to the Disney website or Reddit everything you need is there

Disney in the summer is miserable
There are plenty of water parks which would be a better choice.

I grew up on Orlando and.... it's an hour to the beach. We did day trips to the beach all the time and you could easily combine Disney and a beach trip.

People on this forum, man.

OP - I would recommend using a travel agent instead of going through Costco because they can help answer a lot of your questions. They get paid by Disney, so it's no extra charge for you.

You sound insane. Is it really that difficult for you to fathom that someone might be willing to drive an hour or two to go to the beach? We did that the last time we were in Florida.

There is plenty to do at Disney for 6 days. If you want to go to another park (sea world or Universal), it is doable, but you will need to rent a car.

When I have gone for 4 days, I get 4 days of park tickets and no park hopper. But with 6 days, you may want to add the park hopper. Park hopper lets you go to 2 or more parks on the same day. Otherwise the tickets are good for one park per day.

The beach will be a drive away.

Maybe start by thinking about whether you want to rent a car. If you stay at Disney world, you really won't need one.

I would compare packages at same and Costco to the disney website. I would also buy disney gift cards and Landry's gift cards at sams or Costco to use for meals.

Op here. I am confused about park hoppers. Is that a feature? There are only 4 parks at Walt Disney world. How many days of tickets do I need? 4 days, one for each? Kids are 10 and 6. Well, I forgot the hotel choice when I did the search. For hotel, we need at least a nice pool and 2 beds, not too old, and we don't mind a balcony.

I have never been to Florida. First time visit. Is Orlando sea world worth a visit if we just went to San Diego SeaWorld last year? Are they all similar?

What hotel and how old are your kids? I just did a quick pricing on the disney site, and that sounds about right if your at a mid-level hotel and you have 6 day park hopper tickets. You may even be able to get it lower by trying the various on the disney site itself.

We did a combine Theme park/ Cocoa Beach trip, it was an hour between them I'd consider that near Disney. From what I have seen those prices are good.

I am shopping for Disney world hotel)flight/tickets package for a family of 4, 6 days 5 nights, 4 parks with park hoppers and free shuttles from airports/hotel and from hotel/parks. It lists around $6k from Costco, does that sound right? It is for this summer, and we decide to go to Disney world the first time. I thought it will cost $10k. I recall someone say that I MUST buy those skip pass or fast pass something like that, where do I buy them? They are not add on options from Costco website. It says it costs $1k if we decide to add universal studio pass, $200 if we decide to go to beach etc.... We don't mind to explore Florida beach for a day or two. Is Costco Disney package considered cheap or should I ship for Sam club package or any good websites? It seems vacation package is convenient for me to shop but I can't figure out how to add beach day and a day of aquarium away from those package.

My kids love beach and aquarium. Is it worth it to make it 2 trips? This trip solely for Disney, next time will be for beach and others in FL?
