If you are visiting Magic Kingdom when the park is open late, you’ll be happy to know that the crowd level drops dramatically after the second evening parade. Many guests to choose to leaving after watching to try to beat the lines for transportation that will form once the park closes. You can take advantage of this extra hour or two to ride some of the more popular attractions that normally have long waits during the day. Last week, my boys and I rode over a dozen rides between midnight and 2:00am on a day with a crowd level of 10. The wait for Space Mountain at 1:30 in the morning was only 5 minutes which was basically the amount of time it took us to walk the queue.

Halloween Merchandise 14Tip Of The Week

Remember to stay hydrated and nourished. Fatigue and irritability can set in fast if you let yourself get overly thirsty or hungry. Take a few minutes to refuel and try some of the tasty food and beverage choices that Disney World has to offer. This will help give you the energy you need to keep going.

Haunted MansionDisney Did You Know

Hocus Pocus Villain SpelltacularWalt’s Words 

“Children are people, and they should have to reach to learn about things, to understand things, just as adults have to reach if they want to grow in mental stature. Life is composed of lights and shadows, and we would be untruthful, insincere, and saccharine if we tried to pretend there were no shadows. Most things are good, and they are the strongest things; but there are evil things too, and you are not doing a child a favor by trying to shield him from reality. The important thing is to teach a child that good can always triumph over evil.”
