I've helped thousands of people score those hard-to-get reservations that were causing stress, save money by avoiding overpriced and overrated restaurants, and find the best hidden snacks and dining spots Disney has to offer:
You've probably heard us rave about The BoardWalk, doing an adult "Monorail Crawl" for tiki drinks and classy cocktails, or whisking off on the Skyliner to Riviera to grab a coffee and pastry. That's because the Disney resorts on-site are, dare we say, magical. This Bundle drop will show you how to maximize your resort experienceâwhether you're on property or off.
We're all about strategy, but a lot of the real magic is outside of just running from ride to ride.

Ali's members-only private email blasts
Love getting our overly detailed trip reports, strategies we're testing behind-the-scenes, or seeing the latest new adult beverage or pretzel weâre recommending?
All VIPs will be added to my personal private email listâthis includes our monthly Listletter PRO and any more personal emails straight from my desk! (extra trip reports, behind-the-scenes, voting, etc.)
Whether it's the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, Spring Break, or Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween party coming up, we'll deep-dive into any strategy and must-knows your need for the events that pop up year round.
Because it never gets old to beat the crowds and lower the stress, no matter what the day is bringing!
I asked what the most useful tip or hack was that I've ever taught them, outside of park strategies...
Here were (just some of) the answers:
Best for those planning a trip less than seven months away. Perfect for the planning lovers, first timers, or seasoned vets wanting to give their vacation planning an extra boost for a bit!
Recurring monthly charge, cancel at anytime.
This one's for the "start early" planners, the Disney Parks and WUAP fanatics, and those just needing their year-round Disney planning dopamine. Receive everything instantly and save 38% paying for the annual vs. monthly!
One-time fee. Does not renew after the year unless you prefer it too.
Studies show that planning and anticipating vacations actually bring just as much pleasure, if not more than the actual travel itselfâŠummm, yeah, we believe it (and, hello, excuse to buy new paper product and pens!).
Might as well make the Disney planning part fun and stress-free and make sure that precious vacation time goes the same way.
My entire understanding of Disney and the system has changed with your products. How to understand the system and make it work for you instead of just taking whatâs offered for face value. Thank you for all that you do! I canât imagine Disney without you. Seriously have made our Disney trips so magical and the reason why it has been worth it for our family to go back to Disney multiple times.
âThe products and content you guys provide/share are wonderful. I appreciate that theyâre legit and useful and not full of fluff or the things you can find on most other sites. The FB group is legit as well. So helpful!â
We barely wait in any lines. Weâre also aware of much more dining options than the standard fare. We also just feel much more in control of our trip rather than being run over by The Mouse.
Since being a customer, Iâve taken the time to really strategize ahead of our WDW trips in order to maximize our vacations and get the most for our money. I felt like I was prepared for any scenario, which is awesome b/c you don't always know if the fam is going to be up at dawn ready to rope drop or needs a day to sleep in. Either way, I felt prepared to still get a lot out of our day!

The strategy guides for the parks and Genie+ are digital guidebooks/courses with Modules that teach you how to tour the parks like a pro â how to beat the lines, when to go where, and how to maximize your use of Genie+ if you add that on.
Our VIP Membership is for people that want even more tips & tricks (especially beyond park strategy, like food & dining and resort info), want to be on the inside of the latest changes, and would like access to our private group and other channels.
How is the VIP Membership different than the strategy guides? (The Complete Parks Strategy Playbook to Walt Disney World and the Genie+ Mastery Mini-Course)
I'm newer around here. What do you recommend I purchase first?
If I love the Monthly and want to change to Annual for the discount, can I do that?
The most critical part of trip planning is maximizing your time and making sure you're not waiting longer than 15 minutes in a line. That way you're doing as much as you want, with as little stress as possible. The Complete Parks Strategy Playbook is what I recommend everyone have to start with. You can add the Genie+ course on at checkout (for a discount!) if you plan to use that, and if you're loving planning, then that's what this VIP is for ;)
Can I change or cancel my membership easily?
It is easy to cancel your monthly membership at any time with a few simple clicks â there is no minimum, and you are welcome to back any time. For Annual, the paid-in-full discount is offered for the purpose of the full commitment. If you are not sure if you want a full year, we strongly advise the monthly.
How do the bundle drops work? What about the rest of the VIP perks?
Once you signup, you get immediate, instant access to all of our private channels (the VIP Group & the private email list) and the other perks listed on this page. You'll get instant access to the first monthly drop, the guides and modules in the Food & Dining Bundle.
The second month your payment processes, you'll receive the Resort & More Bundle, and the third and final, you'll receive the Insider Park Tips Bundle.
What if I decide I don't like it? Is there a trial? Do you offer refunds?
There are no refunds or trial periods; if you decide you do not want to be a member anymore, you simply cancel your membership and you will not be charged again.
What if I pay in full for an Annual and then decide I donât want it?
The paid-in-full discount is offered for the purpose of the full commitment. If you are not sure if you want a full year, we strongly advise the monthly. If you want to cancel a membership paid in full, you would be refunded any leftover portion of the full monthly price times the used duration of your membership.
Yes! Simply shoot us an email and let us know, and we will get you set up so you're continued at the discounted rate.
I'm interested in finally committing to this planning thing for my vacation, and I think I want both of your guides AND the VIP Membership. Can I just get all of them at once?
Shoot us an email at support@wishuponaplanner.com and we'll get back to you within 24 business hours with the checkout link for all three. If you don't want to wait, grab this VIP, and then just grab the Parks Strategy Playbook next (and add the discounted Genie+ at checkout there!).
I'm a travel agent and I love your stuff. Can I join the VIP Membership?
Yes, we love TAs. But please remember: you membership includes one license ONLY for your use and all of our material is federally copyrightedâyou may not share our hard work (logins, downloads, or our materials) with your clients (we will take legal action). Because that's theft, and that ain't cool. Kapeesh?
No worriesâthe VIP Membership is here to stay and you can come in and join whenever you feel the timing is right for YOU!
I'm interested but not at this exact moment. Will this be available in the future?
As long as youâre a current passholder, you get access to it!
Youâll have access to the materials for one year from your purchase date.
Most of the materials are downloads, which means you will also be able to keep them and use them even when your access expires.
Once you complete your purchase, youâll receive an email with instructions on how to create your account and get started immediately!
Most of the individual products youâll have access to as part of the All Access Pass are available in our shop year-round, so you can definitely just purchase individual items if you want.
With the All Access Pass, you get huge savings, access to all updates, and access to any new products we add⊠all for just $72 this round.
If you want the huge bundle of everything PLUS the massive savings, though, the All Access Pass is the only way to get it.
Pssst: Even if youâve purchased 1 - 2 individual products in the past, the All Access Pass unlocks EVERYTHING else and has two bonuses that cannot be purchased separately. You are eligible for a discount coupon on this if you've already made a recent purchase - check your customer portal or email us!
When Disney makes any changes that could affect foundational strategies (touring the parks, making dining reservations, the Genie system, paid features, and so forth) â and if you know Disney, you know that happens often â we update our materials.
Your membership includes all updates and unlimited access as long as youâre a member. Plus, youâll also get our free weekly ListletterÂź (mini-briefing of news and changes at the parks) AND our monthly Listletter PRO (more in-depth intel, critical updates, the latest deals, fresh tips, which tactics are working well (and which arenât), and other essential Disney must-knows).
Tl;dr: youâre covered, no matter what, whether you've purchased an All Access Pass or individual products from us.
Your access is good for one year, so just make sure you're within that period!
We recommend anyone heading to Disney to start really learning strategy 3-6 months before your trip, so you can put it to use once you have to start making reservations. Many of our readers find the planning process exciting, so they prefer to purchase 6-12 months in advance. If thatâs you, go for it!
If you've already purchased the Parks Strategy Playbook, Genie+ Mastery Mini-Course, or Universal Strategy Guide (or multiple), and want to upgrade to the All Access Pass to receive everything, you're eligible for a big discount!
You will find your discount code within your members areaâif you have any trouble though, just shoot us an email at support@wishuponaplanner.com.
In the next few minutes, get onboarded in our new membersâ area to get instant access to all of our exclusive channels. And shortly after, find yourself at more of a pro-level than you could have imagined or Googled your way to.
Best of all, start the magic right now, at home.
We all know that snack planning and tip stockpiling is maybe just as fun as the trip itself đ

"When we first started planning our trip, I was overwhelmed by everything. I hadnât been to Disney World since I was a lot younger, so I didnât have any knowledge of what itâs like to plan a Disney trip today.
Thanks to Wish Upon a Planner, I had strategies to use for planning and in the parks. I felt prepared and informed. They made the process a LOT less overwhelming, and our trip went pretty smoothly!
Their information is the best. Itâs so thorough! They manage to cover so much, but they do it in a succinct and direct way so itâs not overwhelming.
Even with a short trip, we still did almost everything we wanted!
Take my word for it: Disney is busy, and getting through your day can be tricky if you donât have the right tips! Itâs worth it to learn how to make the most of your time."
