Tricks For Disney Travel
by: Charles Cater
Have you been planning for years to take that trip to Disney
World. Are your kids are now at that special age where they
still believe in the magic that is Disney. Have you saved up
the cash and are ready for the trip of a lifetime.
Then you need to learn a few tricks before heading off to
Disney World and wasting much of your hard earned money.
The first trick for the savvy Disney vacationer is to check on
e-bay three weeks before the trip looking for park tickets.
Never buy single day single park tickets. The park-hopper
ticket is the way to go. This ticket will allow you change parks
during the days of your vacation. You can leave one park
and go to another to avoid the crowds.
Get to the parks early in the day. Most families like to sleep in
and enjoy a late breakfast. So even with the parks opening
early in the day they are relatively empty first thing in the
morning. Ride the park rides at the back of the park first. It
may take a while to walk into the park but most other patrons
stop at the first rides and ride those. As the park starts to fill
they move to the back rides. Utilize this time to enjoy some of
the popular rides at the back of the park and save your
fastpass tickets.
At the start of the day do not grab fast pass tickets, wait until
the park starts to see more traffic. You need to be aware that
there is a time limit on the frequency that you can grab a fast
pass ticket. So you cannot obtain another fast pass ticket
until the designated time, this time will be on your fast pass
ticket. Use these sparingly to pick the choice rides. While you
are waiting on your fast pass ticket time enjoy other areas of
the parks. When you have to opportunity to pick up your next
fast pass then do so immediately. Only at this point can you
use the original ticket.
Make sure that you carry a backpack with you into the park.
This pack will serve you well during the day. You should pack
in water, and drinks in amounts that are comfortable to carry.
This will save you dearly during the day. The cost of drinks
and supplies inside the park walls is extravagant.
If you have two adults with you then you will need to team up
to allow the kids to get signatures from the characters. Once
you are ¾ of the way to a character one of the adults needs
to go to the next line to wait for the character while the kids
get the first signature. This will dramatically increase your
time through the lines for characters.
Make sure you carry a marker to place on your car for the
afternoon return trip. The best marker that I have found is
those that your local sports teams have for the cars. Virtually
everyone has seen the car flag. Purchase two of these prior
to the trip to display on your car. This will make it simple to
find your car in the afternoon after a hard day in the parks.
Finally, relax and enjoy your vacation. Disney is an exciting
trip for you and the kids. If things don't go exactly as planned
just let it go and enjoy.
