Thursday's Tip

Here's a tip that can mean the difference between a great Walt Disney World vacation and no Walt Disney World vacation: book early! Sometimes it can be hard to "pull the trigger" on booking a trip. There are so many choices--particularly when it comes to where to stay. But since, in most cases, room deposits are fully-refundable up to five days prior to arrival, your best bet is to get one in the books as soon as you have decided on travel dates and make any changes later.

Case in point: yesterday, I called the WDW reservation line in hopes of changing our reservation in October. What I discovered is that almost every Value and Moderate resort is already booked (except for some premium rooms) for our dates. Bad news for us. But the good news is that we're already booked, and we have a room, even if we weren't able to upgrade to the resort of our choice. We'll still have a great vacation. And since we are saving some cash by sticking with the Value resort, we will have some flexibility in our budget to treat ourselves in other ways, such as fine dining or souvenirs.

Any trip to WDW--even if you don't get every detail the way you want it--is still better than no trip to WDW!
