15. Do your research
There are some vacations where you can simply show up at your resort with little to no pre-planning on your part and still have a wonderful, care-free time. Disney is not one of those vacations. It can be, depending on your expectations, but for the average guest this is the kind of vacation that requires advance research and planning. Doing research is as easy as checking rates for hotels, reading fan sites like this one, and learning about what attractions are open, closed, what the weather will be like, and how much you’ll be walking.
