I am a huge Disney World fan.  Most people who know me know this.  I have been to Disney World more times than I can count on both hands.   I started going at such a young age that the only memories I have of my trips are from the pictures taken and the stories my parents tell me.  Disney has changed a whole lot over the years.  Technology has been a huge part of this change.  Now with the Fastpass+ system, planning is a key part in having a stress free and fun trip at Disney World.  As recent as my honeymoon in 2013, planning wasn’t super important.  Yes, we decided restaurants and where we would be on what days, but now you have to decide when you want to ride a specific ride 60 days in advance (or 30 days if you are staying off-site).  Prior to this, you could just go to a kiosk and get a fastpass for whichever rides were available.  This made parkhopping easy to use.  Not anymore.  However, I have found some methods that help me plan with this new system.  I have planned two trips with this method, and it has really seemed to make things easier.
