Disney World trips can come with plenty of add-on costs, and a new Disney Food Blog roundup points to six areas where its writers say spending more can make a difference during a vacation.
For park days, the list recommends supportive walking shoes, specifically naming the HOKA Clifton 10 and Brooks Ghost 17. The outlet also suggests a leg compression and heat massager for post-park recovery after long days on foot.
The roundup also includes Disney’s paid Lightning Lane options. According to Disney Food Blog, guests can choose Lightning Lane Single Pass, Multi Pass or Premier Pass. Resort hotel guests can begin making selections seven days before their vacation starts, while other guests can begin three days ahead. With Multi Pass, guests can hold up to three attraction selections at a time. Travelers comparing paid skip-the-line options can also review Disney World ticket and park-planning options.
At the resorts, the article favors studios or villas with refrigerators and kitchens over standard rooms, which it says have beverage coolers rather than refrigerators. That can be useful for families bringing food or saving leftovers. Disney Food Blog says Amazon Fresh grocery orders can be delivered to a resort’s Bell Services for pickup, with delivery fees based on the order total.
Planning Your Trip
Undercover Tourist is an authorized seller of Walt Disney World tickets, often at a discount off gate price.
Finally, the outlet recommends paying for preferred rooms at larger resorts with multiple buildings, including Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort, Coronado Springs Resort and Pop Century Resort. Those room categories are positioned closer to major amenities such as transportation, dining and shopping.
