First Trip to Disney World

First place I'm going to cover is Disney World.  I felt like I was studying for college for this trip, there is so much to do and so much to see here.  We got our 4-day park hopper tickets from the Military MWR, which is THE best deal around.  That doesn't even cover everything that they have there.  There are still the water park and animation place there.  Staying on site at a Disney Resort is still the best deal.  You don't have to get transportation to the parks, pay to park, pay resort fees at other hotels, and you get extra benefits by staying with Disney.  
~if you want to dine with characters BOOK EARLY, like 6 months in advance.  Our trip was booked 3 months out, so we are looking at it from this stand point.
I had no idea on the seriousness of Disney World trippers!
~I was able to book all my dining plans ahead of time, however, no character dining.

You can look up on places like pinterest the crowd calendar for the year.  Which is a good place to start when planning which park to start with for reservations and fast passes.

Make sure you are logged into "my disney experience" to make all the reservations and fast passes.
We went on our trip during Thanksgiving and had a great time!
