The Practical Mom’s Disney Vacation Companion is a 183 page companion workbook which will show you how to use the resources available to plan and organize a hassle-free, cost effective vacation.

While the guidebooks may provide ratings, pricing, and descriptions most offer little or no actual guidance.   Most guidebooks also contain time sensitive information.   Mom will not only tell you which websites offer the best, most up to date information, but provide links within the book directly to those websites.   No more going from website to website, trying to decide what is right for you.

The Practical Mom’s Disney Vacation Companion :

Will guide you through a logically organized step by step process beginning with information gathering to help make a budget.   It doesn’t matter what there is to do at the parks if you can’t afford to go there.  So, why not start with the logical first step of figuring out how much you can afford?

Not only offers 24 color planning information charts and 13 color detailed planning worksheets, will demonstrate figuring how much can be afforded and what expenses, commonly overlooked in the budgeting process, should be included.   Confused about which park pass options are right for you? Let Mom show you how to make the right decision.

Will show you how to compare vacation packages, as well as, decide whether renting Disney Vacation Club points is right for you.

Will show you how to compare off-property, non-Disney resorts to a Disney vacation package, and look at using online trip consolidators.
