Travel Tips: Know Before You Go Disney Travel

Are Disney travel package deals worth the money?
Disney Packages can be overpriced during the busy season, but during the off-peak periods, your travel agent can get great discounts on packages at WDW hotels. They include hotel, all meals, and theme park tickets – for about the same price as an offsite hotel room without all the extras. Packages also include free perks like Character Breakfasts, and a choice of nice restaurants.

Avoiding long lines
Crowds are inevitable during the busy season at Walt Disney World (WDW), but there are tricks that will help. Guests at WDW hotels get early admission to the theme parks. Be sure to double check opening time upon arrival, because Disney fluctuates opening times during the year, often with little notice. Usually the park staff will actually let you in up to half an hour before the ‘stated’ opening time, to avoid bottlenecks. Suppose official opening is 10 am for the public and 9 am for WDW hotel guests. If you’re there at 8:30 am you’ll get in. Take advantage of this quirk to maximize your fun!

Which Disney World character meals are the best?
The character meals at the ‘Ohana at the Polynesian Resort and Chef Mickey’s at the Contemporary resort include parades of Characters and children singing and waving napkins, and other mayhem. They are the most fun. read more......
