Let’s be real—if you're planning on spring break in Disney World, you need a strategy. 

Picture Disney World crowds, then multiply it by ten. That’s what you’re walking into. But don’t panic! 

In this episode, I’m breaking down how to survive and actually enjoy even the busiest days at Disney World (without waiting in 90-minute lines back-to-back). Whether you're spending spring break in Disney World, or any other days during Disney World peak season, I’ve got you covered.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

  • The #1 mistake most people make when visiting during Disney World peak season—and how to avoid it
  • Why your resort choice could make or break your spring break in Disney World (and the best resorts for skipping transportation headaches)
  • Lightning Lanes: Are they worth the money, and what’s the right way to use them to avoid long waits on the busiest days at Disney World?
  • The one thing you should wear to avoid losing your family in the Disney World crowds (seriously, it works!)
  • How to master mobile ordering during Disney World peak season so you’re not standing in line when you could be riding Space Mountain

Surviving the busiest days at Disney World doesn’t have to be a nightmare! With the right game plan, you can still have a magical, stress-free experience—even with the Disney World crowds.
