Sample Walt Disney World Tips from the MousePal

General tips

Trying to decide when the best time is to visit Walt Disney World? See below for some general rules:

As a general rule, Walt Disney World tends to be busiest during summer break from school and holidays. If kids and parents are out of school and work than you can count on them being in Disney World. This will hold true even on weeks when only Monday is a holiday. Many families use this oportunity to take a week long vacation.

One positive thing about visiting in summer is that you will find longer park hours and more character meeting opportunities. Disney usually sends more characters out during peak season to try and control the attraction lines.

Find more information under the “Attendance While I'm There” and “Weather While I'm There” links on the full version of the MousePal.

For a little romance on your vacation

Plan an evening at the Polynesian resort(A Magic Kingdom resort). Get a priority seating at Ohana where you will be treated like family. (Ohana has an enourmous menu served family style. See the MousePal dining section for more info)

After dinner watch the sunset overlooking Cinderella's castle in one of the hammocks on the Polynesian's beach. End the evening with a stroll to the Grand Floridian passing the Disney wedding pavilion on the way!

Disney Restaurant Reservations

Advance reservations are Disney theme park or resort restaurant reservations. Advance reservations can be made at most all of Disney's table service locations up to 180 days in advance. As the meal plan programs become more popular it has become very difficult to eat at Disney table service restaurants without an advance reservation. Call 407-WDW-DINE to plan your table service meals. Find all available Disney restaurants in the "Dining" section of the MousePal full version.

For the Children

This is a Must! Buy an autograph book for your little ones to carry. There are many character greeting opportunities in all 4 Disney theme parks. The characters will be happy to get a picture with your kids and sign their autograph. What many families do is have all of the characters sign every 2nd page of the autograph book. Then on the left hand page, paste in the picture that was taken of the character and your child.

Also, while touring the World Showcase at Epcot, consider buying a passport for the children. They will be able to get a stamp at each of the countries for their personal passport.

Relaxation

Don't let your family get so involved in seeing all of the attractions Disney has to offer that you forget to have fun. Relax, there's always next year!

Simple line buster tip

If there are two lines for an attraction, go to the left. Most people's natural instinct is to take the line to the right!(You'll be surprised how well this works.)
