5 Reasons Why Planning A Disney Trip Years in Advance is Totally Worth it

I went to Disney in October, sure but that was a surprise trip and on my parent's dime and whim, not my own. So, after some careful and odd calculations, I started planning my own trip, hopefully for May of 2022 by myself. Here are some reasons why I can imagine it will be totally worth it!

More Time to Save Money

Let's face it. Disney trips cost a lot of moola, but having a game plan ahead of time allows you to save money and plan for how you're going to use it!

Planning Time!

Haven't we all wanted to make a reservation at that one restaurant last minute but it's full? Planning in advance allows for more time to decide what you want to do and when.

Extra Booking Time!

Undercover Tourist

You want to stay at that one specific hotel with that one specific room? Planning for it early can get you that room! Plus, if you stay on Disney property, you get to use FastPass+ 60 full days in advance!

Schedule Flexibility

You don't have to plan your trip around your schedule, you can plan your schedule around your trip!

More time to Have Fun!

You'll have more time to relax instead of freaking out over every little thing!

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that.
