Ever book a last minute Disney trip and immediately think, “Wait, what did I just do?” Yep - same. That was me this week.
We hit confirm on a resort we’ve never stayed at, with less than 30 days until takeoff... and I’m not panicking (yet).
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on exactly how I’m prepping for this last minute Disney trip - from what I’m skipping altogether to how to plan a trip to Disney that doesn’t leave you spiraling into overplanning mode.
If you're a fellow mom trying to balance real life, high temps of Disney World in summer, and high expectations while still making this trip feel magical? This one’s for you.
Whether you’ve got your dates locked in or you're still debating if you can pull it off in time, I’ll walk you through how to plan a trip to Disney in less than a month. We’re talking mindset shifts, my must-do’s (and must-don’ts), and how I’m using tools like a Disney World crowd calendar to avoid that sweaty, stroller-jammed chaos that is Disney World in summer.
In this episode, I’m sharing:
- The first 3 things I do after booking a last minute Disney trip - and why I purposely don’t rush to make dining reservations
- How I’m using a Disney World crowd calendar to sketch out park days and keep my family from melting into Main Street
- What I’m doing differently for this Disney World in summer trip - especially as a mom, a planner, and a content creator
- The stroller dilemma I didn’t expect to care so much about... and how it’s changing my park strategy
- How to plan a trip to Disney that still feels intentional (without a six-month spreadsheet or total emotional breakdown)
So, are you planning your own last minute Disney trip? Wondering how to plan a trip to Disney without completely losing your mind? Or maybe just curious how a mom of three figures this out on the fly?
Grab your iced coffee (with extra caffeine) and let’s do this together.
