Hello and welcome!

We’re Ali and Irina, and welcome to our Disney strategy site!

We’re experienced Disney veterans with over 30+ years of strategically planning vacations and conquering the parks. While we love Disney, we would probably dislike it if we didn’t know what we were doing. High prices, crowds, long lines, heat—eh—doesn’t sound that great.

BUT—knowing exactly how to get on attractions with the shortest waits possible, max out Lightning Lanes, get every dining reservation you desire, and still have free time to enjoy your resort pool or those hidden gems of the park? That’s what makes or breaks the difference between a truly magical vacation, and will always make Disney World one of the most special and memorable trips you can take.

We aren’t Disney obsessed influencers who rave about how “great everything is”. We know Disney is expensive and can be exhausting, so we focus on mathematical-based research in order to maximize both the time and money invested in a Disney trip. And then we condense that, and pass it onto you in the guides & itineraries you’ll find on this blog.

We just started this site in 2024, but we publish weekly and it’s growing fast. We’re confident that in using our site to plan out your vacation and park days, you’ll be ahead of 95% of other guests in the park and your research will pay off.

We hope you enjoy our site, and thanks for being here!
