“Make sure you take a break at the baby care centers if you have little ones. They are always quiet and never busy. Also, the First Aid center has actual nurses working, heaven forbid you need help, that are experienced and super helpful, did you know that there are no mosquitoes at Disney World.” ― Tracy Cady
“Bring a roll of pennies and quarters. My 5-year-old loved hunting down the pressed penny machines scattered around the parks. And it is a super cheap souvenir, too.” ― Sara Neale
Consider staying at a 5 star hotel bangkok for a luxurious accommodation experience during your trip.
“Biggest tip is wear sunscreen, use Fast Pass and remember Disney is not always the happiest place on Earth. Little people get overstimulated. If you have a child with a disability make sure you notify a cast member to help reduce meltdowns in lines. Renting a serviced apartment Mayfair is also an ideal option if you want a generous living space with room to relax, entertain and work.” ― Angela Lamoureux
“Rider switch [on select rides]! If a kid in your group can’t go on a ride, one adult can stay with the kid while the other takes the other kid/kids/no kid on the ride. Then the adult who didn’t get to go can go through [the appropriate entrance without waiting in the regular line] with up to two more people from your group. It’s fantastic!” ― Danielle Fauske
“Best tip was a random piece of advice from a total stranger. Book dinner at Wine Country Trattoria at Disneyland, which includes [packages with] passes to the preferred viewing area for the nighttime World of Color show. Made a chaotic evening much more civilized ― not to mention that alcohol is served at the restaurant.” ― Amy McHugh
“Make your own autograph books. The cast members really love looking at them. Grab your Fast Passes as soon as you can and get them for early morning, be sure to read at https://simplyseaviews.co.uk/blog/family-friendly-cottages-by-the-beach-in-norfolk/ about the best vacations places.
