Tips for Your Next Disney Vacation

Looking for a few tips to make your next Disney vacation go a little smoother?

1. Stay at a hotel that offers a free shuttle service
To avoid the hassles of driving around the Disney Parks and having to find parking, stay at a hotel that offers a free shuttle. It will make the start and end of your day go smoother. Plus, you won’t have to pay expensive parking fees!

2. Bring Your own staples
Plan ahead by bringing the regular staples that cost a lot more at the park, especially your own sunscreen, hats, film and batteries! Be sure that you don't forget those extra camera batteries. Also, wear comfortable shoes and bring a change of clothes (at least a t-shirt) for everyone.

3. Begin at the back of the park
It's a known fact that people will stop at the first attraction they reach so start at the back and work forward. Leave the shows and indoor attractions for the hottest part of the day when you'll appreciate the cool air conditioning.

4. Take a break
A full day at a Disney Park can take a great deal of energy. You'll find that the day will be more enjoyable if you leave the park at midday to recharge your batteries with a short nap or dip in the hotel pool. Re-enter the park late afternoon when others are leaving or having dinner. You'll find the lines will be shorter!

5. Purchase multiple day passes
Disney admission passes never expire and it's always cheaper to purchase multiple day park passes. Use what you need on this visit and save the card for future trips. Florida residents have the opportunity to save on tickets in the off-seasons. Visit www.disney.com for complete pricing on admissions and vacation packages.

6. Buy your Disney t-shirts prior to arriving at the park
Visit your local Wal-Mart, Target or K-Mart prior to your visit to the Disney Parks. You are certain to find a t-shirt of your child's favorite character on a sale rack. Surprise your kids with a new shirt while unpacking. They'll feel like they've received a souvenir and you'll be pleased that you saved money on not having to buy it at the park.
