You can take backpacks and small bags into the Disney Theme Parks. Pack some extra snacks to help your little one’s make it from meal to meal.
One of my family’s favorite things to do at Disney is Pin Trading! It’s a long time tradition at Disney Parks, there are so many collections and rarities! It’s so much fun! Be sure to ask any Cast Member with a lanyard with pins on it for the details of Pin Trading
Most people go left to Tomorrowland or straight towards Fantasyland once they enter the Theme Park, go right and start in Adventureland to avoid some of the crowds and enjoy lower morning waits.
Be sure to Meet Mickey Mouse in Town Square Theater at Magic Kingdom Park, his magic tricks give him a little extra pixie dust!

Character Dining is extremely popular when it comes to making Disney Dining ReservationsDisney.

Want to maximize your FastPass+ Selections? Try to get them early in the day and close together. You can also get them on the same side of the park to minimize your walking. Your Treadway Travel Company Agent is your best resource in helping you secure these before arrival, but once you have used your initial 3, you can get additional selections throughout the day making those long lines seem like a breeze!
If you are trying to beat the heat during a summer visit try indoor attractions like Mickey’s Philharmagic, Monster’s Inc Laugh Floor, The Country Bear Jamboree or The Enchanted Tiki Room. They rarely have much of a wait time and are excellent places to cool off.
Take some time once you get on your ship to unpack your suitcase. Disney’s staterooms offer plenty of drawers and storage space and you can use your empty suitcase to store dirty clothes. The beds are raised so your suitcases will slide right under!
If you have little ones who aren’t tall enough to ride certain attractions, ask the Cast Member at that attraction for a rider swap, this will allow one adult to stay back with the small child while the others ride. When the first group is done, the next adult can take up to 3 people back thru the FastPass line to ride so that no one misses out on the fun!
Many of the Deluxe Resorts at Disney have lounges that serve small bites and have excellent drink menu’s. These locations are great for the adults to relax at after a long day in the parks! One of our favorites is Victoria Falls at Animal Kingdom Lodge.
Are you a Disney Visa Card Holder? They have special meet and greet locations just for you in the Theme Parks! They are surprise characters so you never know who you may meet there. Ask a Cast Member for the location and be sure to have your entire party with you, your card, ID, autograph books and your best smiles!
Even if you have not purchased Memory Maker or other PhotoPass packages, Cast Members will be glad to take a picture with your camera or cell phone so that the entire family will in the photo!

If you are not staying at a Disney Resort, parking at the Theme Parks will be $20 per day. Stay at an on-site Resort to use Disney Transportation and park for free!
It is possible to over pack for cruising. The biggest thing to remember to throw in your vacation suitcase is your bathing suit. You will utilize this the most. Take a nice pair of pants and couple of pairs of shorts then you can mix and match your shirts. Ladies – no need to take your entire shoe closet! Wear your flip flops on the ship, pack a pair of dress shoes/sandals and pack a pair of tennis shoes in case your shore excursion requires closed toed shoes.
If trying to squeeze Magic Kingdom Park into one day, be sure to prioritize which attractions are most important to your family!
As people flock to see the parades and nighttime entertainment at each the Theme Parks at Walt Disney World Resort, the wait time for some of the most popular attractions tends to decrease!
