Regarding avoiding crowds in MK: On a Keys to the Kingdom tour I took in Jan 2010, our guide told me his best tip to avoid crowds was to actually go up to Fantasyland first, then to Adventureland/Frontierland followed by Tomorrowland. His point is that even if you go left first, everyone will converge in Fantasyland around lunchtime, so you may still be in big crowds for part of the day, and by doing Fantasyland first, you can help avoid crowds by staying one land ahead of the crowd that went right first. (You can also tell MK was built right-handed because the path to Tomorrowland from Main Street is wider than the ones for Frontierland/Adventureland)

Definitely. I've been to message boards on some other park-related sites and it's nothing but a bunch of negativity. There's a reason I keep coming back to DFB - not only are these videos ridiculously informative and entertaining, but the community as a whole has a really positive vibe.

Only ask lifeguard that is walking and not watching a pool. Do not bug active lifeguard unless it is an emergency as they need to focus on the water and the people in it. Someone can become distressed in a second, so if not actively bleeding then do not bug the lifeguard watching the water.

If you use the Waze app for navigation, when you park, and get out, and start walking towards the park, Waze will remember where you parked and note it. That doesn't tell you what section you are in, but, if you can get to the right section, you can "follow" it to your car, and you'll know exactly how far down the row you are.

Getting a reservation before a park opens is my favorite thing (i can't remember if you mentioned it in this video)! Once, we had a reservation at Be Our Guest, and we finished before the park opened, and we were able to pretty much walk right on to the Mine Train, and ride it 4 times in a row without too much of a wait! It was the best part of the day, even though it was all before 9am!

A toast to all the planners! 🎉 Everyone deserves to be appreciated for a job well done! Happy planning!! May your magic military plans bring success, and happiness prevail! MK Operation Plan, Day 2 Code Name: Max Mouse Thrill squad, take the right flank to Space Mountain soon after dawn. Little one, you don't meet the height requirement and your special skills are best served elsewhere. Instead, take the commander of this mission (an elder, but once inside Disney becomes the biggest kid of all) and dance your way down an empty brown river through Liberty Square. Keep a look out! At the start of your mission, conduct reconnaissance of the Jungle. We need confirmation that the rope has not dropped there. We'll enjoy the laughter of the small world posthaste while Thrill Squad returns to Earth. They may be able to secure a Carpet to a splendid world in the sky, which although enjoyable it is not our primary objective, before convening with us again. Our rendezvous point is marked by a small wooden cage containing a tarantula that periodically twitches. Go, go, go people! There's magic to enjoy! Let's do this!!

Another tip for remembering where u park. The disney mobile app actually has a park reminder feature where u enter in the details of the aisle and row u parked and then u take a picture of ur car with whats surrounding it so u all u have to do is load up the app and u already have ur parking info there making it easier to find ur car!

@ashleybuttafuoco 3 жыл бұрын

When it comes to park hopping, I also recommend planning to get to the park just a little bit before two, or just exactly at two. Instead of leaving the park exactly at 2 o’clock, we leave a little bit earlier so that we can get to the new park at 2 o’clock and have more time. 2 o’clock is actually a little bit of a weird time because for most of the parks, you can get all of the rides and experiences done by around 12 or one-ish, so then you feel like you’re just stuck waiting, but that lets you save like 30 or so minutes depending on how far the second park is

The Target Disney gift card trick works. If you are willing to take the time, you can buy enough to pay for a trip. However, you need to combine all of the gift cards onto one or two. We did this and were able to take a lot of money off of our trip to Disney Aulani Resort and Spa in Hawaii. It does take a really long time and can be reallllllly annoying.

We did this to pay for a cruise. If you're willing to buy $500. online, just a few at a time you end up saving hundreds. If a disney vacation and saving money are both important then it's worth doing. My tip is to print out the e gift card and write what you spent it on. Keep them until they are used and your trip is over. If something changes like it did for us you'll be glad you have them.

Another GREAT tip for finding your car in those EPICly huge parking lots and structures is to load up whatever App you use for GPS Navigation and flag your parked car with a parking location tag before getting out of the car and going into the parks. Apps that I know that use this feature are Google Maps and WAZE, but others may or may not use this feature yet.

I think you may want to define Walking Distance. If you havent been there, for example you might actually believe its an easy stroll to Epcot from Beach club then 12 hours on your feet around the park, then a quick stroll back to BC in 85 degree heat at 10 at night ..........even kids are wiped out ... pretty much the same all over Disney, not really walking distance anywhere.
