When it comes to Disney World planning, I have learned that what you skip can matter just as much as what you plan, especially when you are traveling with kids. Over the years, simplifying my Disney World planning has helped me stay calm, focused, and actually enjoy the trip instead of constantly reacting to Disney World crowds today.

In this episode, I am walking you through the seven things I intentionally skip at Walt Disney World every single time I am traveling with kids. These are not things I hate or rules anyone else has to follow. They are decisions I have made through experience, careful Disney World planning, and learning how different choices affect my energy, my kids’ moods, and our overall trip. If Disney World crowds today feel overwhelming or you are searching for realistic Disney World tips for toddlers, this episode will help you decide what is truly worth your time.

In this episode, I cover:

  1. How skipping certain choices makes Disney World planning easier when traveling with kids
  2. Why avoiding specific situations helps manage Disney World crowds today
  3. The planning mistakes I stopped making after years of Disney World planning
  4. Honest Disney World tips for toddlers that reduce stress and meltdowns
  5. How traveling with kids changes what is actually worth prioritizing at Disney World
  6. Why pre-deciding what to skip matters more than perfect plans
  7. How understanding Disney World crowds today can shape better park days
  8. Simple Disney World tips for toddlers that make the day feel calmer and more flexible

When you think about Disney World planning, what is one thing you feel pressured to do but would rather skip when traveling with kids? And if you are navigating Disney World crowds today or looking for better Disney World tips for toddlers, I would love to hear your thoughts. Let me know over on IG: @somewhereworthwhile.
