10 essential tips for your Disney experience

10 essential tips for your Disney experience

February 28, 2024

In Orlando, Disney has four theme parks, which are Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom. All parks are suitable for the whole family; the important thing is just to check the minimum height for some more exciting rides, such as roller coasters, for example.

No matter the age of your children, visiting Disney parks will be an unforgettable experience for everyone.

Often, planning for the long-awaited trip to the parks begins years in advance, with financial issues, American visas, and so many details that are necessary. That’s why we emphasize so much here on the blog about the little details that can’t go unnoticed, as they can be crucial for a great experience at Disney.

We have listed some quick tips for you to jot down on your travel checklist and apply during your days of park hopping. Check them out below:

 

1 – Download the Disney app (My Disney Experience app)

You’ll be able to join virtual queues, place orders at restaurants, keep track of show times, and much more to optimize your time inside the park.

 

2 – If possible, stay at the Disney complex

Guests have free transportation to the parks, and if you prefer to drive, while staying there, parking at the parks will be complimentary (parking fee is USD 30 per day). Additionally, you can enjoy exclusive park hours for those staying at the Disney complex.

 

3 – Make restaurant reservations

If you want to experience sitting at the table of that Disney restaurant you’ve researched and loved, make your reservation in advance, as table-service restaurants tend to be always full.

 

4 – Enjoy the show

Every day at Magic Kingdom, there is a show five minutes before the park opens. The park opens at 9 am and the show is at 8:55 am. It’s definitely worth experiencing!

 

5 – Stock up your backpack

Your backpack for a day at the park should include: a portable phone charger, a water bottle, a sweater (depending on the time of year, temperatures can drop significantly at night), and sunscreen.

 

6 – Arrive early

Plan to arrive a few minutes before the park opens. The first few hours are the quietest and have fewer lines, providing a better experience for the whole family.

 

7 – Special celebrations

If you’re going to celebrate a special date at Disney parks, pick up your pin at the park’s Guest Relations. This pin can offer you special treatment during your visit depending on the time of your trip.

 

8 – Food lines

To facilitate meal times, use Mobile Order in the Disney app to avoid lines at the main food locations in the parks.

 

9 – Identify the children

Put identification bracelets on your children with their name, your name, and also the contact phone number. Even the place where they are staying is valid to ensure the safety of the little ones.

 

10 – Rent a stroller

Disney parks are huge, and a day of walking requires many kilometers. If you’re traveling with children, pre-rent a stroller for every day of your trip. This way, you can enjoy all the rides, including the parks, with peace of mind and much comfort for your children.

Count on our team to assist you in choosing the ideal model, and receive the stroller as soon as you arrive in Orlando at the location of your preference.
