Plan your Mom Approved Walt Disney World Trip
Moms should get a vacation too.
At Mom Approved Travel, one of our core beliefs is Moms should get to enjoy a Disney vacation too.
What this means is, we believe Mom should actually enjoy going on a Walt Disney World vacation – she should not be stressing or spending her precious time worrying about which rides her kids are tall enough for, how best to navigate Magic Kingdom, spending hours researching all the packing things, or making sure she does not miss important payment, activity or check-in deadlines.
When Mom hires Mom Approved Travel, she can spend her time and energy elsewhere, and get back to the business of Mom life!

What are the planning steps in a Mom Approved Walt Disney World Vacation?
What does it look like to plan a Walt Disney World trip step by step with Mom Approved Travel?
Planning a Disney vacation may seem overwhelming at first, but we have devised an extensive Disney Planning process that breaks down each step in smaller, more manageable “bites” to keep you from feeling overwhelmed or getting overstimulated.
Many busy Moms struggle with decision fatigue after a long day, and keeping vacation planning steps small and simple helps keep it fun and stress-free! When you plan your Walt Disney World trip with Mom Approved Travel, we break down planning into 7 basic steps or phases.
Step 1: Decide which dates work best for your Disney vacation
The most foundational step think about when planning a Disney vacation is, which dates work best for you and your family. Remember the best dates for YOU may not look like the best dates for your brother’s neighbor. The best dates for you may look different that what the internet says is the “best ” time to go.
All you need to do is bring us your busy family calendar, and we will work with the kids school schedules, big projects at work, anticipated crowd levels at the park and all the other things and to help you find the best time for YOUR family to go to Walt Disney World.
Step 2: Decide which Disney resort is best for your family
After you have your dates, we will explore which Walt Disney World resort hotel is best for your family. With 32 on-site resort hotels, each with its own unique conveniences, amenities, price points, and transportation options, there is a Walt Disney World Hotel for everyone.
Don’t worry you do not need to know all of the differences in the hotels, we do! We have stayed at each and every resort and know all the little details that make each resort unique. In our initial consultation, we will ask a short series of questions to help us simply your choices and find the perfect resort for you and your family!

Step 3: Decide which Disney Park you should go to on what days.
After you know when you are going, and where you are staying, the next step is to determine which parks your family should go to on which days. It is absolutely okay if you have no idea what is available and how long you should spend in each of the 4 theme parks and 2 water parks, we do!
In our consultation call, we will ask a few questions about your family’s favorite Disney stories, anticipated thrill levels, activity levels and more to help us start curating your itinerary. We will discuss incorporating any special events that are available during your vacation, such as Mickey’s No So Scary Halloween Party or extended evening hours. Remember, you don’t need to research what is in each park, we will guide you through it all.
Step 4: Decide your dining options and Disney extras
After we have a rough schedule, we will discuss which Walt Disney World dining options and magical extras your family would like to experience on your vacation. With well over 100 dining options available, we will help you narrow down the best options for your and your family’s tastes, budgets, and wishlists.
We have experienced all the Disney dining has to offer so we can best advise you on the best fit for your family. We know where the best steak is, who is at each character meal, where the best churros are, how to find a good margarita, and where to find everything from chicken nuggets to fine dining! We’ve done the research (and tasted it all) so you don’t have to, we will simplify your Disney dining choices based on your preferences and access whether you would benefit from a Disney Dining plan.
Don’t worry, we will also go over the extras like Fireworks Dessert parties, Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique princess makeovers, VIP tours, lightsaber building, spa appointments, fishing and all the ways you can add a little magic to your Disney vacation. We know those too, and will help you find options to fit your family’s travel love language.
Step 5: Arrange Transportation and logistics
After a rough plan has come together, we will work on the logistical details for your family which may include renting strollers, ECV scooters, having groceries delivered, assisting with transportation to and from the airport, celebrating special occasions and all of the other logistical details to ensure a seamless Disney trip!
Step 6: Pre-Trip Preparation
This is where the magic really happens! We will prepare a travel guide for your family and go over all of the details with you in a pre-trip consultation. We will curate a Disney travel guide with all of your details. This comprehensive guide is made with busy moms in mind, and it highlights everything you need to know for a successful trip. This guide is designed for both the skim reader and the detail oriented Disney vacationer. It is also geared for every learning style with a mix of short videos, infographics, and text so you can know what you need to know easily.
In your pre-trip call, we will make sure you are comfortable with the technology and your plans. You’ll get tips and tricks you won’t find on the internet from our extensive experience as both Moms at Disney and Professional Travel Planners (like what to do if your kiddo loses their tooth at Walt Disney World), so you and your family will be prepped for making magical memories without feeling overwhelmed.
Step 7: Make magical memories

All payment requirements vary based on the supplier, but your MAT Travel Advisor can answer questions about your specific components.

Your Mom Approved Travel Advisor monitors your reservations for promos and will apply them IF they save you money.

Your payments will be processed into The Walt Disney Travel Company secure payment portals by your Travel Advisor. The agency does not hold or deposit any of your vacation package funds into our company account.

There is no “perfect” age to take your child to Disney. Truly.
Seeing a baby meet Mickey and reach for his nose, viewing a princess through the eyes of a toddler, watching a 6 year old talk to Tinkerbell, watching a pre-teen act like a little kid again, watching a teenager take a selfie with Donald, walking down Main Street with your adult child or strolling around Epcot with spouse for the first time, or even experiencing Disney as a grandparent are all wonderful ways to experience the magic.
Each family, and each child is a little different which is why it is best to talk to a Travel Advisor about YOUR situation.
Funny thing, that “certified Disney Travel Agent” term gets tossed around quite a bit- but no such term legally exists.
There are strict regulations set forth by Disney what Travel Advisors and Travel Agencies can call themselves in the legal mumbo jumbo. Believe us, you WANT a Professional Travel Advisor who understands terms & conditions well! Certified Disney Travel Agent is not one of them.
However, Mom Approved Travel is an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner. We EARNED this designation given to us by Disney. All of our Travel Advisors are Graduates of the Disney College of Knowledge. Our Advisors hold various certifications through travel industry associations with the highest professional standards.
When you book with Mom Approved Travel, you are hiring a trustworthy Travel Professional who specializes in Disney destinations.
Every Mom Approved Travel Advisor absolutely loves planning Walt Disney World vacations, it’s our “favorite child.” (shhhhh!) However, we also book Universal theme parks, cruises, all inclusives, ski, bucket list travel like Hawaii, Alaska, and more. We have Advisors that specialize in a wide range of family and no-kids vacations, ask your MAT Advisor for more information.
