PRO TIP

Grab a coffee or a dolewhip and chill at the grass hub over looking the castle. Very peaceful!

Get your photos taken by the Disney photographers located closer to the Castle to avoid the crowds behind you!

Wear your cute Disney bounding outfits and ears. Actual costumes are not allowed in the parks unless you are a child 12 and younger.

To beat the heat, take a mid afternoon break. Take a nap or enjoy your resort's pool. You can also enjoy the airconditioned shows Magic Kingdom has to offer.

Magic Kingdom has the BEST fireworks show so, find a spot at Main Street an hour before it starts.

Use the monorail to travel from Magic Kingdom to Grand Floridian to the Contemporary Resort to the Polynesian Resort and do a Monorail- Bar Crawl!

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVOURITE DISNEY PARK PLANNING TIPS?

Even Disney vacation pros need a little help! I love to stay up to date all things Disney Parks with the official Disney Parks Blog and Disney Food Blog (DFB Guide) on YouTube. I started watching DFB Guide videos to find new restaurants/places to eat, but now I watch them for everything from choosing which resort would work best for your family, to weekly updates on all things Disney.

Also, don't be shy about asking Disney photopass photographers to take pictures of you using your own camera or phone. They are very friendly!
