Custom Disney Vacation Planning
Disney vacations can be fun for the whole family, but planning one can take some work. However, planning your own customized Disney vacation is not that difficult, even with all the options from theme parks to shopping to cruises and restaurants. It takes knowing what's available and what attractions you want to visit, but it's also important to do some wise planning to make the most of their Disney vacation.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy
Step 1
Determine a budget within your means. There are plenty of things to do and see on a Disney vacation, but you'll have to consider what you can afford among the many Disney attractions.
Step 2
Prioritize your vacation desires. Is a visit to Walt Disney World a must, followed by playing one of the Disney golf courses? Are you just going to golf in a Disney area and then maybe do some shopping? It's important to have a general idea of the things you want to accomplish on the trip.
Step 3
Consult travel guides and Disney's websites. Many Disney attractions can be done in less than a day, such as the smaller theme parks or shopping areas. The Disney websites will help you pick a hotel and guide you through the ticket packages available. There are many different bundles to meet your vacation needs.
Step 4
Map out an hourly or daily schedule for your entire trip. This will make it easier to accomplish all your desired activities and customize your vacation for an ideal getaway.

Tips & Warnings

Make sure to call ahead for the rates and availability of Disney-owned golf courses. Some of them are affiliated with resorts and only allow guests to play. A travel agent will be able to help you plan a customized Disney trip. Agents will know the ins and outs of any Disney area; they can help save you money while planning your ideal vacation.

Disney vacations, attractions and golf courses can be pricey. Consider staying at a chain hotel or playing at courses that have cheaper rates. Disney vacations are generally advertised for families, and that should be kept in mind when planning one. Usually, there will be little time for golf as many of the other Disney attractions take just as much or more time than it takes to play a round.
