It is very important that you book in advance because the restaurants get booked up very fast.

3. 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.

4. 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.[su_divider top=”no”]

5. Fast Passes

Fast passes are free and very easy to use and are one of the best ways to save time and see more attractions. They allow you to bypass the regular line and go straight to the fast pass line which is much quicker.

Fast pass machines will be outside the entrance to the most of the popular attractions. You can select a time frame suitable for you it will be a 60-minute window then return within this time frame to join the fast pass line.

Using the Disney Fast Pass will significantly reduce the amount of time that you spend standing in line. For those that carry a mobile device you can download the my Disney experience app and you can choose your fast passes 60 days in advance for those staying on Disney property or 30 days in advance if staying off site.

  1. Great post! I went to disney about 7 years ago. Now I have 4 children 9,11,13 and 17. I would love to take them back to disney, but I wouldn’t go without the fast pass. It’s worth the money and speeds things up so much!
    Any suggestions on the best place to stay?
    Best of luck!

    • Hi 

      yes i agree fast passes are essential when going to Disney. If fast passes are a priority then staying on Disney property you will get them 60 days prior to check in date. Fast passes are also available 30 days in advance if you and your family decided to stay offsite in a villa which some people as a family of 6 find more comfortable. Alternatively Disney offer a handful of resorts that have 2 or 3 bedroom villas but every resort offers interconnecting rooms so booking two rooms allows you to choose any resort you like.

      I would personally wait until the kids are about 5 or 6 so they can experience all Disney has to offer. Let me know if you decide to book?
