Have a chill day

Disney can be very tiring so it is essential that you have a rest day even if that means just exploring the hotel grounds or laying around the pool.

Child Swap

Most Disney rides have height restrictions so if you have a child you all won’t be able to go on the ride. Disney have a child swap system that saves you from having to stand in the line twice.

Just ask the Disney Cast Member at the start of the line if a swap is available if yes then simply ask for a Child swap pass. The first family member will stand in line and go on the ride then the second family member gives the swap ticket to the cast member and does not have to stand in line again.

Rain showers

Rain showers are very common in Florida especially in the summer months. Showers are normally over very quickly and in fact cool humidity down so don’t be one of those people that leave the park at the first sign of rain.

You will be surprised how many people do but if you stay in the park that means fewer people and shorter lines. Just have a look around the shops or get a bite to eat, then just you wait and see the sun will soon show its face.
