Frequently Asked Questions

The 321 rule is a handy packing guideline that Disney veterans swear by. It stands for 3 pairs of shoes, 2 weeks’ worth of snacks, and 1 poncho per person. The idea is to pack smart, stay comfortable, and always be prepared for Florida rain. It sounds simple, but trust me, the families who follow it have a noticeably smoother trip than the ones who show up unprepared for a 2 pm downpour.

The 60 10 rule is a touring strategy that helps families pace themselves through a Disney day. The idea is to walk for about 60 minutes, then take a 10-minute break, whether that is grabbing a snack, sitting in the shade, or just slowing down for a moment. Disney days are long, and the parks are big. Families who pace themselves like this almost always have more energy for the evening shows and fireworks, which are honestly some of the most magical moments of the whole trip.
The 120 rule is all about Advanced Dining Reservations. Pre-COVID, dining and extras reservations were booked 120 days before check-in. Now, Disney allows guests to book dining 60 days before their trip, but on-property resort guests get a 10-day booking window added on top of that, giving them up to 70 days out. The “120” rule pays homage to that old timeline, but the concept is still important! The early bird gets the worm. We need to get things booked as soon as the windows open. When you work with me, I handle all of this for you so you never have to set an alarm at 6 am to grab a Be Our Guest reservation yourself.
The 2 pm rule is a strategy that seasoned Disney visitors swear by. The idea is simple: arrive at the park right when it opens, hit your must-do rides in the morning when crowds are lightest, then head back to your resort around 2 pm for a rest, a swim, or a nap. You come back in the evening refreshed, and that’s when the parks are honestly at their most magical, with the fireworks, the lights, and way shorter wait times. It sounds simple, but it genuinely changes the whole trip.
If budget is a priority, August and September are your best bets. August and September are hot, but come with the lowest crowds and lowest hotel rates. Kids are back in school, and the summer rush is completely over. You’ll find lower resort prices, shorter wait times, and better availability for dining and experiences. Rachel can help you find the best value windows and any current promotions running during those months.
A code 70 is Disney’s internal code used when a park has reached maximum capacity and has to temporarily stop letting new guests in. It’s rare, but it does happen on the busiest days of the year, like holidays and spring break weekends. If you’re not already inside the park when a code 70 is called, you’ll have to wait until capacity drops before you can enter. The best way to avoid this? Travel during off-peak times and get to the park early. Rachel can help you pick travel dates where code 70 is the last thing you’ll need to worry about.
