The most frequently asked question that we receive is “When is the best time to visit Walt Disney World Resort.” That’s a complicated question because there is no longer a slow season. The Disney calendar is filled with specially-ticketed parties, events and festivals year-round. Today on the blog, we’ll examine monthly trends as well as weather and events that might impact your trip to Walt Disney World.

It’s Valentine’s Day, and romance is in the air. Although a box of chocolates and bouquet of roses are incredibly sweet gifts, we at Beyond Imagination Vacations prefer expressing love with - you guessed it - an outing, near or far. We asked our travel planners to share their favorite romantic destinations to share with you, perhaps giving you some travel inspiration for wedding, anniversary and other special occasion sites.

One of the most frequently asked questions we receive from clients is whether they should add the Disney Dining Plan to their Walt Disney World Resort vacation package. A hotel stay and park tickets are no-brainers - you need somewhere to sleep, and you need entry into the theme parks. But to include the Disney Dining Plan? That’s a little more complicated to answer. Beyond Imagination Vacations travel planner Stephanie Orlowski shares her recent experience at Walt Disney World Resort with the Disney Dining Plan. Was it worth it? Read on to find out!

Disney Parks Blog shared HUGE news this afternoon. Reservations will open later this year for Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser (otherwise known to us Earthlings as the Star Wars hotel). Scheduled to open in 2021, the Starcruiser will be a completely unique, immersive experience.

Admittedly, planning a Walt Disney World Resort vacation can be a complex affair. Where else do you make dining reservations 180 days before your vacation starts? With the right tools and resources (and a Beyond Imagination Vacations planner by your side), planning a Walt Disney World vacation doesn’t have to consume your every waking moment. In fact, Disney provides the most important tool at no cost - My Disney Experience. On today’s blog, we’re diving deep into the various features offered through My Disney Experience and how it can help while planning as well as during your vacation.

This evening, Disney dropped some major news, and we’ve got it covered for you in this down and dirty update.

Earlier this month, Beyond Imagination Vacations had the opporunity to take an in-depth tour of Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort. With a newly reimagined lobby and public spaces and its position as a hub for the Disney Skyliner mode of transporation, Caribbean Beach Resort has taken the top spot among the moderate hotels at Walt Disney World Resort.

Unlike at Walt Disney World Resort, a vacation at Disneyland Resort does not necessitate a stay at a Disney hotel. In fact, there are only three Disney hotels in Disneyland: Grand Californian Resort & Spa, Disneyland Hotel and Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel. With an estimated 17.9 million visitors per year and only a little more than 2,000 rooms on-site, it’s impossible for every visitor to stay at a Disney hotel. That’s why you’ll find that Disney partners with 49 “Good Neighbor” hotels that have received a seal of approval. There are a diverse suite of hotels with varying amenities, locations and price points. Last week, we stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott Theme Park Entrance, and we’re sharing our experience with you.

We have some tips to be prepared if you’re vacationing during hurricane season - there’s nothing earth-shattering on the list, but practical recommendations to ensure you’re ready to weather the storm.
