Disney World Tips and Tricks

Q at Disney

We enjoy taking our kids to Disney. It is relatively close to us and can be a great weekend get-away. However, after going to Disney many times, we have a few tricks to make the visit extra special.

Tip #1: Schedule a breakfast at the Crystal Palace in the Magic Kingdom. It is a character dining experience that is located at the end of Main Street USA. You get to see Winner the Pooh, Tigger, Eyeore, and Piglet. While the kids enjoy the character experience, that isn’t the reason we go. You can make a reservation to eat here before the park opens. So you get to take these great pictures of your children on Main Street USA, in front of the castle, etc and no one else is in the pictures! You can get wonderful picture of your kids with wonder and excitement on their faces, rather than confusion and disorientation from all the people in the park!

Tip #2: Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom have kids play areas. In the Magic Kingdom it is Winnie the pooh themed and in Animal Kingdom it is dinosaur themed. Take advantage of these areas. It is hard for little kids to be patient and wait in line. They need to run around and burn off some excess energy from time to time. This is the perfect opportunity for them to do this. I know you didn’t go all the way to Disney for your kids to play on a playground like you might see at home. However, they will be more patient in lines and at other attractions if you let them take advantage of a little playtime between rides.

Tip #3: Leave the Park to take a nap. It is a long day with a lot of walking, especially for your kids. I know that it is a process to make you way out of the park, to your car and back to the hotel. Trust me, it is worth it. I enjoy seeing my kids fascinated by the nighttime parades and fireworks. Without that nap, there is no way they will be fascinated. In fact, they will probably just be down right cranky or asleep without it.

Tip #4: You want to go to Epcot, but aren’t so sure what the kids will find to do there. No worries! All the rides in epcot have great interactive adventures and displays once you get off the rides. My personal favorite is” Turtle Talk with Crush”. After the Living Seas ride, be sure to go visit Crush and your kids will get to ask him all kinds of questions. Educational and funny, how can your beat that!

Tip #5: Don’t try and see everything. It is ok to miss things. Take things at a reasonable pace for you and your kids. Remember, you are on vacation. If you race to see everything, you will feel like you have run a race at the end of your trip. Relax and have fun!
