I’m going to inform you a trick: You can’t rely on everything you read on the internet. That’s tough to hear, I know. Too indicating and good-hearted as the majority of people on the internet are, they are sometimes just incorrect.
Case in point: If you even think about going to Disney, Facebook will somehow understand and right away show you posts from Facebook groups dedicated to vacationing there. Previously this year, my family and I decided to take my 4-year-old niece to Orlando for her first trip to one of the most Magical Place on Earth. Before we even had actually dates set, I was seeing posts about Lightning Lanes and pixie dust and AOA and MNSSHP and so numerous other acronyms that made my head spin.
Those pages can be important sources of first-person experiences and pointers, but they aren’t always proper. There is a better source you can rely on: PlanDisney.
What Is PlanDisney?
In 2008, a group of Disney fans came together under Disney’s umbrella to help individuals put their trips together and ask questions of people who know responses, In 2020, that group altered its name to PlanDisney.
PlanDisney is a group of about 50 panelists, or professionals in one part of the Disney universe or another, including Walt Disney World Resort, Disney Cruise Line, and Disney Vacation Club. These are not Disney Cast Members or members of the Disney marketing group. They’re instructors, social workers, online marketers, nurses, and all-around significant Disney fans. (They are compensated with a trip to a Disney destination for their deal with the panel.).
Each panelist has a Disney “specialty,” and on top of that, the panelist brings with them individual life experiences and preferences that notify their particular locations of interest. Shannon is a panelist for the Disney Cruise Line, and she has an interest in the adults-only areas and activities on the ships. Alison, who I talked with before composing this story, has actually been bringing her kids (now teens) to Disney World for several years, so she is specifically skilled at assisting moms and dads navigate with children in tow.
How Does PlanDisney Work?
Think of PlanDisney as a reservoir of understanding of both the broadest and the most unknown kind. Sure, anyone can research what time the parks open and close. However where do you ask, “What does it suggest to rope drop?” and “How can I share pixie dust with others?” Do not understand what those things are? I didn’t either. PlanDisney responded to for me.
You can use PlanDisney as an online search engine, asking your question to see if anyone has actually already asked it in the past. (They likely have.).
You can also just scroll through all of the recently asked concerns. You might discover something you weren’t expecting to actually require to understand.
And if all else fails, you can ask a question of the Panel to get a customized response. (Due to the volume of concerns they receive, they’ll inform you it’s possible you won’t get an answer, but here’s hoping!).
The very best part about PlanDisney is that if a panelist doesn’t understand the response, they will find it for you. Since among the 50 people who serve on the PlanDisney panel are a few of the most true and perky Disney fans on the planet. So you can rely on, unless your question truly has no response, that they will find it for you.
And the very best part? They won’t speak in acronyms or jargon that make understanding if you need to hop the Skyliner to HS or the MR to AKL difficult.
