ChristmasTip Of The Week

If you will be attending one of the hard ticket events in Magic Kingdom such as Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, keep in mind that your ticket will allow entry to the park as early as 4pm. To make the most of your party time, get some rest in the afternoon so that you will be able to stay all the way until the end. Also, by eating an early dinner before you arrive, you can spend your time on one-of-a-kind party experiences rather than at a meal.

Pop CenturyTip Of The Week

If you need extra living space while in Disney World, but the family suites and multiple bedroom villas are too pricey, check into the cost of reserving two adjoining hotel rooms instead. Often you will be able to book two standard hotel rooms at a value resort for a fraction of the cost of one of the larger family suites or villas.

StrawsTip Of The Week

If you are traveling with young children not used to drinking out of regular cups yet, it is a great idea to pack some straws. Some places in Disney World only sell bottled beverages which can be difficult for little ones, and a straw can make all of the difference. I also cut a few down to a smaller size and use them in the drinks provided on the airplane.

Spaceship Earth at NightTip Of The Week

Remember when booking your advance dining reservations that most table service restaurants inside the Disney Parks seat guests until park closing. By booking the latest possible reservation time, you will be able to maximize the amount of time you have to enjoy attractions and you will have the added bonus and unique opportunity of exiting through an almost empty park. You can snap some incredible night shots.
