Welcome!Hi everyone! I’m new here! So happy I found this place! My family and I are taking our first trip to WDW in June and we’re so excited! Any tips you have for us would be appreciated!
Surely understand staying off property in your (and others') situation. I'd do the same thing.We’re in Orlando from the 7th to the 21st. We’re also going to Universal! Staying off property because I work for Marriott so my rates were more in my budget then staying on property. Yes made our park reservations and dining reservations!
Just wanted to hear from others where their favorite places to eat are and favorite attractions!

One thing that seemed to work well when we did universal was to rope drop and hit the harry potter rides. Also, try to get as much done as possible but like 10 or 11 because the crowds start to roll in with express passesWe’re in Orlando from the 7th to the 21st. We’re also going to Universal!

You say you work for Marriott. Do you get deals on Westin? If you stay at Swan and Dolphin it is the closest thing to staying at a Disney resort. A lot of same amenities and it’s in the middle of the magic. Look it up and look into it.Hi everyone! I’m new here! So happy I found this place!

Yes I get deals on Westin! Unfortunately the Swan & Dolphin were not available for my family size when we’re there.You say you work for Marriott. Do you get deals on Westin?
