Disney World is constantly trying to find ways to entice us into planning a trip…
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
…and then trying to find ways to make us “plus up” that very trip. Think about it — they get you hook, line, and sinker with the cutesy commercials on TV and social media and soon you’re booking a stay at a Disney Resort. But then, you’re also spending extra on the Dining Plan, the Lightning Lanes, and all the experiences that you hope will make your trip “magical.” Well, in the past several months, they’ve been targeting folks who already have trips booked!

If you’re heading to Orlando during hurricane season this year, there are TWO big differences you need to keep in mind.
