I don’t know if you have mentioned it before, but when we went to Disney World, we had bought a cheaper stroller on amazon and had it delivered to our hotel. We used it for our trip and paid it forward and gave it to another mom before we left asking her to pass it on when she is done. It was actually cheaper than renting our whole trip and we didn’t have to check it at the airport 👍🧡

Good list, but also: 1) Check park maps for locations of rides when making fast passes. Nothing worse than going back and forth around the park to make fast pass times. 2) You can make more fast passes after you've used your 3 for the day, 1 at a time through My Disney experience app 3) Take advantage of photo pass photographers, even if you don't buy memory maker. They will take pictures with your camera in addition to theirs. 4) You can have food delivered to your hotel room (bottled water, fruit, snacks, etc.) From grocery delivery services or Amazon 5) Cast members do move strollers, so don't panic if it's not exactly where you parked it. We always attach a balloon or colored string to ours to make it easier to find.

One thing to add (a die-hard camper told me this): if this is your first ever trip and you have about a month to kill, make sure you have a good, solid backpack. Stuff a dictionary or old magazines in it until it feels heavy. Practice walking around the house or the neighborhood with it for about an hour every 2-3 days. That way your back and legs get used to the weight. Oh, and of course, wear the shoes you plan to take with you. It surprises me how much of a difference it makes.

Ziplock bags! We were at Flame Tree BBQ for lunch and the kiddos were fast asleep in their strollers so they didn’t get a chance to eat and we had a bunch of ribs left over. I pulled out a ziplock bag to put them in and tossed them into our backpack. My sister was shocked and was like, “Wow I did not think about that!” Once we got back to the resort for our mid day nap the kiddos were up and ready to eat. That happened again in MK and we got hot dogs from Cassie’s Corner. I made sure to pack a variety of sizes of ziplock bags because who knows what could happen. A kiddo can wet themselves and I would just need a bag to keep the wet clothes apart from the dry items.

From experience, the best time to ride the rides you want is during parades. Parades are line breakers. Once saw a 45 min wait for Space Mountain with a parade scheduled 15 minutes later on Main Street. People left the line to go see the parade and I was in and out in 20 minutes. Fast passes are nice but use them wisely!

My mom took me to disney this year. Being a seasoned vet myself, i knew pretty much all of this. I will add a tip, cause most people get worried about this. My mom often gets what's known as "disney rash". It develops on your ankles, and is painful. The shops at the parks, all of them, sell advil and Tylenol if you need them. The meds are usually under the check out counter. And disney rash is not contagious, and it will go away. Do not put scented lotions on it, that makes it worse. Just wear good shoes and socks, and ice your ankles when you get back to your room. Also, if you buy anything in the parks, you can have it sent back to your hotel as long as you are staying on property. Use the photopass!! You will not be disappointed. And to those questioning the Be Our Guest restaurant, if you go, the grey stuff really is delicious. I could post about a thousand more tips, but I'll just ask, DFB, are you guys hiring??

I’m almost 60 years old and Disney Parks at my all time favorite place in the world!!! My 2 year old was amazed and happy all day with (myself and her father were as well). She is 32 now and it is the only place I have saved for more than 2 years to visit alone with my 50 something girlfriends. There has never been another place in the world that when I see the Magic Kingdom I cry walking towards this beautiful, majestic structure. I can feel it welling in me at this moment . BEST PLACE ON EARTH, hands down. Every Sunday watching “THE MAGICAL WORLD OF DISNEY” I’d ask my mother if we were going there someday? I’d always get a loving “yes”. I knew it would never be (9 kids 😌I knew it would be in my time). Again, it’s my favorite place in the world! And when I plan my vacations it’s my first heartwarming thought. Innovation. Education. Disney exudes love from everywhere especially when you enter with fantasy, a lighthearted imagination of youth gone by and you step into Mr. Disney’s magnificent dream from imagination to illustration of fabulous details of things that you are AMAZED by. I say over and over to myself with eyes as wide as my 2 year old when she saw Mickey for the first time. PRICELESS!!! Thank you Walt Disney 🥰 . The love and excitement of children NOT crying! Parents staring lovingly at their offspring knowing it’s ALL worth it!
@becca8boo19996 жыл бұрын
I go to Disney almost every year and I've been doing that since I was 10 (I'm 19) I agree with all of this! And here's a few more: Disney only allows 3 fastpasses a day BUT if you use one, sometimes on the app it will let you get another one. Note that I say sometimes. Totally worth the try. Also, Disney allows you to have food in the park as long as it isn't like a full course meal. So what my family did was, my mom would cook us breakfast at the resort (around like 6am) we'd have a snack around 3pm, then get dinner at 6pm whether at a small window service or a full fledged restaurant. We also brought our own water and refilled it at the park (they have water fountains) Prep for the parades like 30 minutes to an hour early, and if you go to Hollywood Studios, Fanstasmic plan about 3 hours early. It will take you that long to get in there and get seated. Then you can buy snacks or run to the bathroom inside Fantasmic. Also at Magic kingdom they do the firework show twice, one at I believe 8 or 9pm then another at 10pm (when they're open that late) it's smart to ride some quick rides during the first firework show (my family and I rode Space Mountian and waited 10 minutes during that time)

Quick tip that really helped my family when we went around Christmas last year: check out TouringPlans (they have an app called WDW Lines). They're a group of statisticians that correlate a TON of factors to figure out what wait times will likely be like for each ride throughout the day. You can then list the rides you want to see each day, along with your FastPasses and dining reservations, and it will build an optimized route for you. You can then check items off throughout the day via the app, and re-optimize your route as they get better data from the park and as your plans change. They charge a fee to use the system, but the time it bought me (the type-A planner of the family) was more than worth it, especially because it got a lot harder to agree on what to do next now that my family is all adults.

Rope drop is so worth it!! Don’t run though, they will get kinda mad. Pro tip: to get to the front of the line at magic kingdom, go on the monorail and then go into the shop closest to the monorail (left hand side when you are looking at the train station). Then just kinda cut everyone it works. Also, go to frontier land first (through liberty square) and DO THUNDER MOUNTAIN BEFORE SPLASH. Thunder mountain is a lot shorter ride (splash mountain is like 7 minutes) and splash mountain let’s more people on at once.

I went in 2012 for the first time but I was with a big group (high school band), so we didn't get a huge say in the schedule. When I went for the first time in my adult life this past spring we tried to save money by only going 5 days. The first day we did Disney Springs (was also our travel day so we didn't make it to our hotel until 3ish). And then we did a park a day the rest of the days and I KNEW next time we go we CANNOT do that. I got so burnt out, overwhelmed, stressed out, etc. And I have no kids, so I can't imagine what that would have been like with kids. I think the biggest thing I took away from that is to wait to go back until we can afford to stay longer to do those relax and resort days. And to do what this video suggested and go early, and then go back to the resort and nap. I think we felt like that would be wasting money to nap at Disney World but looking back I think we would have gotten more out of the trip. Another thing I learned from this trip living in Illinois where it's still pretty dang cold in March and then going to hot, humid Florida is BRING A TON OF GATORADE/ELECTROLYTES. They give you LIFE and Disney sells them for close to $5 a bottle. Since they allow outside food and beverages (which also blew my mind since the closest theme park to me is Six Flags who has a strict no outside food/beverage policy) BRING YOUR OWN GATORADE.

Downtime is essential, so I try to see a show (air conditioning is essential!). Some of my in-park spots are: 1. Magic Kingdom: nearly anywhere in New Fantasy land, but mainly across from the Under the sea ride. You can also ride the train. There''s also a spot between Casey corner and Crystal Palace. 2. Animal Kingdom: anywhere in Discovery cove! There's no A.C. but there's a lot of shade and water 3. Hollywood Studios: ABC Commissary 4. Epcot: the English cottage garden (across from the Yorkshire fish shop), the Land Pavilion, the outdoor area in Japan outside of Katsura grill. Also, even if you're not staying on Disney property, you can hang out in the lobby areas. Grand Floridian can have a piano player, Riverside has a bar, Yacht & Beach club have a common passthrough area, Animal Kingdom lodge (both Kidani Village and Jambo House) have great atmosphere. You can also hang out in Disney Springs - they have a mini-mall around the Disney store that has an open market feel.

Tip: If you can afford it, get the dining plan. For years my family had to take time out of the parks to go eat because we could never afford Disney food. But with the dining plan, we could chose our resturant, get the meal and a desert afterwards, as well as a snack during the day. It's a three course plan, so breakfast at the resrort, lunch at the park, maybe even dinner at the park if you are going to be there till closing like my family usually is. It is worth it and saves money when you can buy it when it's discounted.
@dsheridan44976 жыл бұрын
I like that I don't feel compelled to watch the prices and can basically order whatever I want knowing I have already paid for it. It may not be the most cost effective, depending on how you eat, but I really enjoy the all inclusiveness of the plan and not worrying about whether we can afford to eat in the parks (it's already paid for;-)
@MattMcIrvin6 жыл бұрын
The one time we used it, I don't think I saved any money--BUT we didn't buy it at a discount, and we didn't put much mental effort into gaming it. With better strategy, I'm sure you could. (The one at Universal Florida is another story. Complete rip-off.)
@LC-uh8if6 жыл бұрын
The DDP can be worked so that you come out ahead, but I suspect most folks are losing money using it vs. going out of pocket especially if they already have an AP or TiW which give dining discounts. I've never heard of a discounted dining plan, though my understanding is the "free" DDP special they run sometimes requires you to pay rack rate for your rooms, so you would definitely need to account for whether or not you can get a discounted room only rate.

Excellent tips. The "resort day" one is key -- we did that on our last trip and it was absolutely vital, gave us a second wind. There's lots of great stuff to enjoy at the resorts and you might as well do it. Another one I'd add is single rider lines. Not many rides at WDW have them, but Test Track and Expedition Everest do, and as long as you don't care about riding with your party (obviously, parents with young kids can't take advantage), they could save you a FastPass that you use for some other big ride. (So does Rock 'n' Roller Coaster but I've heard that one does not provide much advantage, so maybe use a FastPass for that.) What else? The refillable souvenir drink cups are not a good deal. Too few places in the parks to use them.

Annoyingly, parents with small children do take them into the Single Rider lines nowadays. I have had the (bad) experience several times now where a pushy mum in front of me was holding everything up by demanding to ride with her young child that she had brought into the SR line. The Cast Members are (unfortunately) very accommodating in these situations as they don’t want anyone getting upset, so they just let them do it. Which makes the whole ‘Single Rider’ thing redundant.

The other thing about the Disney bus system is, it's hub-and-spoke. The theme parks are hubs. Going from a resort to there is one trip, but if you need to go from one resort to another (for a dining reservation, say) that's slower, because you have to go to a hub first. One of the best places to eat is Boma at Animal Kingdom Lodge--but traveling between there and any other resort is a real hike. You might want to make a dinner reservation there on a day when you're visiting Animal Kingdom, because it's the closest park.

One thing to know before going is to be prepared for every kind of weather. My family and I usually go during winter season before Christmas and we have experienced different weather. The best tip would be indeed bringing a poncho but also a good but not oversized jacket in case it turns cold but when the rain is over you can just tie it on your waist. Never bring fabric tennis shoes. If it rains you will have wet feet and the risk to catch a cold.

Bring a portable battery for your phone. Disney also has the fuelrod kiosks. They're like 30$ and you can trade them out for a fully charged one.

A good tip if you're driving in for a day visit at Magic Kingdom is enter via Reams Rd - right near the gas station there's a little road that curves around BEHIND the parking pay booths (look on Google maps) so no parking fee. If you come in the front by accident you could try telling them you're looking for the campground which is also behind the booths.

If you're going with a few friends and you don't have time for down time, riding the Carousel of Progress, People Mover, any of the shows or one of the dumb five minute wait lines are really nice to wind down and chill out. I reccomend the carousel of progress- it's twenty minutes, nice and cold, doesn't take very long to board, and really entertaining! These help you go through your bag, answer your text messages (please only do that on the People mover) and you don't have to sit in the heat of the day on a bench

I went for the first time since 2011 in October with people that had never gone before and thanks to the app we pretty much killed Magic Kingdom! I took charge, made a plan, we saw all the parades, all the firework shows and made every ride we wanted to along with a quick visit back to the parking lot to change into something a little warmer after it got dark! Couldn’t have done it without My Disney Experience telling us about closures, wait times and giving us routes to everything around the park

To the poncho thing, I would like to add that while it's cheaper to get a poncho somewhere outside of the parks, if you buy them from the parks you get unlimited free replacements. I've found this useful because plenty of ours have had the buttons snap or the fabric rip, and you just run into any of the stores and they'll give you new ones. So that's something to consider that might save you money in the long run.

YES to the strollers! My kids are 3.5 and 6.5. They’ve almost never used strollers, but we ALWAYS bring a stroller to Disneyland! It isn’t as big of a pain as you’d think. We tend to bring it from land to land with us, rather than ride to ride. We leave our coats and snacks (nothing valuable or anything we would be devastated if it were taken) in there and it frees up what you have to drag around on you. I can’t recommend them enough. New Disney goers usually say “oh my kid is too big”... they’re not. We’ll bring a stroller until my youngest is actually too big. Another plus is they can take a nap in the stroller, rather than having to go back to a hotel. Seriously guys... strollers are your friend!

During the summer, the night before going to a park freeze about 10 bottles of water. Put it in 3 layers of plastic bag within your backpack. The ice & you will have cold water all throughout the day.

I have heard that freezing water in a plastic bottle can cause cancer because something happens to the plastic when it freezes.
