Don’t limit yourself to eating only at restaurants within the parks. On days when you are not at a park, have fun and explore as many of the Disney properties as you can. Many of Disney’s best restaurants are found at their resort hotels, not at the parks.![]()

For instance, Boatwright’s Dining Hall at Port Orleans Riverside offers excellent Southern fare, and even the quick service restaurants at both Port Orleans hotels are popular meal destinations for locals (thanks in part to the yummy beignets at Port Orleans French Quarter).![]()

Pay it forward. Your vacation is over, and you have items you know will never get used again. What should you do with the stroller you bought just for this trip? How about those Mickey Ears that will never again be worn?![]()
![]()
Consider donating these lightly-used items to Give Kids the World (gktw.org). This is a local charity that gives children with life-threatening conditions the chance to visit Walt Disney World with their families.![]()
![]()
If you're feeling even more generous, you can send them a monetary donation or set up a donation page directly on their website to request donations from family and friends on their behalf. You can make a huge difference to a child in need.![]()

Rely on Disney’s strollers at your own peril. They are made with hard plastic shells that are not comfortable for children. If you must use these, bring along an extra blanket or two for your child to sit or lay on.![]()
![]()
Instead, bring a stroller from home or purchase an inexpensive (umbrella) stroller from a discount retailer after you arrive. If you don’t want to take it home, you can easily leave it behind at a park or any resort.![]()

If you want a nicer model, very comfortable ones are available for rent from private companies.

Parental Warning! Don't send your children (even mature, older children) to the water parks without adult supervision. That’s not just because even the best behaved children have a tendency to get a little wild in that environment.![]()
![]()
The sad reality is water parks (and swimming pools) everywhere can be breeding grounds for sexual predators. Even though Disney has the strictest guidelines and a system in place to reduce the ability of these individuals to get into the parks, incidents occur. They most always happen to tweens and teens who are out of their parent’s view.![]()
![]()
Another risk is the wave pools where predators can easily get within reach of young swimmers. Beware of environments where it is easy to “accidentally” brush up against somebody.![]()

If you want to get a character autograph, you must bring your own autograph book and pen. The character will sign autographs if you or your child simply hold the autograph book up where it can be clearly seen.![]()
![]()
The vision of fur characters is very limited, so holding the book directly in front of their face when asking them for their autographs will facilitate this process.![]()
![]()
Also keep in mind that fur characters have a harder time than most simply trying to hold onto those pens, so try to find a pen that’s at least as thick as a marker.![]()

If you prefer to submit your feedback in person, go to Guest Relations with the name, date, and location of the encounter.![]()

You can help safeguard your privacy by turning off the GPS feature on your phone, especially if you’re using the My Disney Experience app.![]()
![]()
You will lose a little bit of functionality, such as the ability to search for restaurants based on your current location, but Disney won’t be able to profile you and your buying decisions so easily.![]()
![]()
This will also save your battery life for when you really need your phone.
Character Autographs![]()
![]()
You don’t need to purchase an expensive autograph book to take advantage of this benefit. In fact, if you print out your favorite princess or character picture at home to have it signed, you are likely to get more face time with the characters of choice.![]()
![]()
(If you miss a character autograph, you can contact Disney after your vacation and ask them to send a signed photo of that important character!) ![]()

Don't be first in line for shows! During seating, guests are asked to go as far toward the end of each row as possible before taking a seat. This means people first in line end up with seats on the edge of the theater. ![]()
![]()
Since the best seats are in the center of the theater, hang back a bit and enter a row that is already partially filled up. If you try to take a center seat and expect others to go past you in a busy theater, you may end up with a Cast Member politely directing you to get up and move to the end of the row.![]()

Be aware of pending charge holds that Disney places on credit cards.![]()
![]()
When you link a credit card to your resort reservation, Disney automatically places a $100 hold on your account. As you charge items to your reservation (using a MagicBand or room key to purchase items or food), Disney charges the actual amount spent to your card and places a new $100 hold on your account.![]()
![]()
As each hold can take several days (or even weeks) to be removed from your card, this can result in multiple $100 holds on the account, causing you to quickly hit your charge limit.![]()
![]()
Additionally, some guests report holds placed on their cards when booking a Disney dining reservation, though it does not always happen.![]()
![]()
While charging to your room is convenient, we recommend purchasing and using Disney gift cards instead to avoid the hassle related to the credit card hold policy.![]()

Queues at Disney sometimes have two sides. For instance, security checkpoints allow guests to line up on either side of the checkpoint table, and counter service restaurants allow guests to line up on either side of the person taking your order.![]()

Enjoy a little romance at Disney with some careful planning. Kids are nearly everywhere, but it's not impossible to have some quiet, adult time.![]()

You are far more likely to find a quiet environment at any of the Disney Signature Dining locations, especially if you book dining reservations after 8 p.m. (except for California Grill around the time of Magic Kingdom's evening fireworks).![]()

While quite expensive, Victoria & Albert's is the best restaurant for romance, as children under 10 are not allowed in the award-winning establishment.![]()

You don't need to spend a lot of money for a little romance, though. A moonlit walk around the lake that sits between the Epcot-area resorts is an excellent option, with a great view of fireworks from afar. Similarly, a stroll around the Seven Seas Lagoon is usually quiet and peaceful, affording a great view of Cinderella's Castle and Magic Kingdom fireworks.![]()

Lounges attached to Disney Signature restaurants are also great for romance without a high cost. Most lounges have small plate menus, along with adult drinks.![]()

Disney World has technology that helps it track its visitors.![]()
![]()
There is no way to keep Disney from tracking you inside the parks completely, but the best way to reduce Disney’s ability to keep tabs on you is to leave the MagicBand at home.![]()
![]()
Instead, request an old-fashioned pass at Will Call or from the front desk, if you're staying at a Disney Resort.![]()
![]()
Every theme park ticket has a radio frequency identification (RFID) chip in it, but the ones inside of the credit card-style passes are short-range chips versus the long-range chips inside of the MagicBands. Long-range RFID chips allow Disney to easily track your movements within the parks, and as they’re linked to your name and credit card information, they provide much more information about you to Disney than other bits of technology.![]()
![]()
To further reduce Disney's ability to keep tabs on you and your habits, turn the GPS tracking feature off of your phone and keep it offline, except when you specifically need to use it.![]()

Professional Photography![]()
![]()
Disney PhotoPass photographers are everywhere throughout Disney parks.![]()
![]()
While the system is designed to sell you additional pictures, they will also snap a family photograph using your personal camera.![]()
![]()
That means you get the same professional-quality poses at the best photo opp locations, without having to pay for a Memory Maker package.![]()
![]()
If you want a photograph taken almost anywhere of the entire family, don’t hesitate to ask any Cast Member. They are always accommodating. Barring one of them, most other guests will certainly oblige your request.![]()

If guests complain about poor quality or lackluster food, Disney staff will bend over backwards to make things right.![]()
![]()
NEVER accept poor quality food. You are paying premium prices, so if something is cold, dried-out, or doesn’t meet your taste, be polite, but let a server or manager know.![]()
![]()
Even at a counter-service restaurant, they will re-make your meal to ensure it is fresh. This is especially important when eating at locations that pre-make the food they serve, such as Tangierine Café in the Morocco Pavilion (Epcot).![]()

Some queues at the theme parks are worth seeing, even if you don't want to go on the ride.![]()
![]()
If you would rather stay with your party, while they all wait in line for a ride you don't plan to go on, feel free to join them.![]()
![]()
Each attraction has an exit opportunity near the end (called the Chicken Exit on the more extreme rides). Just tell the Cast Member you want to exit, while they board the rest of your party.![]()

Unseen Animal Barriers![]()
![]()
Whether you’re traveling through Animal Kingdom's safari, walking through the Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail, or strolling among the other exotic habitats, Disney makes sure that barriers between humans and animals appear non-existent.![]()
![]()
The barriers are concealed with realistic-looking features. For example, the bamboo stand separating the gorillas from the guests is actually a set of steel rods placed in concrete.![]()
![]()
You also see what looks like simple ridges of earth that provide cover for large moats and barriers, keeping animals on one side of the path and you on the other.![]()

Weather reports for the Orlando area can be confusing and difficult to track. While one area of the city may receive heavy downpours, another may stay completely dry. Additionally, the promise of rain may mean a five-minute or five-hour storm!![]()
![]()
Download a weather app with a radar map, such as AccuWeather. Check the radar map regularly throughout the day to help determine if and when the rain will hit your area, as well as anticipated length of the storm.![]()
![]()
Plan your daily meals and breaks around the poor weather, so you can leave the parks prior to the rush that typically happens after the rain begins.![]()

When a melt-down starts (and it inevitably will if you're traveling with a young child), stay calm. Getting upset will lead to an escalation of your child's tantrum. While you might not appreciate a tantrum, your child is trying to communicate a problem with you. Ignoring it or trying to simply "shut it down" can lead to a far worse melt-down.![]()
![]()
Pull your child to the side, away from the crowd, noise, and stimulation. Tell your kid to take some calming breaths, then calmly ask him or her to explain the problem, "using your words."![]()
![]()
While your little one may not even know the problem, use non-verbal cues to help him/her verbalize it. If you see your little girl rubbing her eyes, she probably needs a nap. If your son is whining about a refused treat, he's probably hungry and needs a snack immediately.![]()
![]()
Adults can get caught up in the excitement and forget how taxing the additional activity and stimulation is for children. Be patient and try not to get angry with your little one. Yelling will only escalate the problem. Vacationing is a learning experience, and you may need to modify your plans to meet your child's needs.![]()
![]()
However, if the tantrums become common-place, this likely means your child has learned that acting out is the best way to get what he/she wants. Don't reinforce the behavior. If your child is hungry, offer a healthy snack. The junk snacks and souvenirs at the parks should be reserved as rewards for good behavior. Using them as a means to pacify the child can actually increase bad behavior.![]()
![]()
Don't be afraid to split up the family and take a child who is acting out back to the hotel room for a time-out. (Make sure you trade off on the parent responsible for doing this to keep things fair and avoid resentments.) It's important that children understand there are consequences for bad behavior, and the rest of your children shouldn't have to suffer because one kid is acting out.![]()

When deciding on ticket options, the Water Park and Sports ticket add-on may not be the best value if you only plan to spend a day or two at the water parks and won't take advantage of the other options. ![]()
![]()
Consider carefully how much you will actually be able to do outside of the theme parks. Did you schedule enough off days to spend at the water parks or golf course? ![]()
![]()
A single day ticket to a water park is cheaper than adding the Water Park and Sports ticket to your pass, plus that single day ticket allows you to park hop between the two water parks on the day you visit!![]()

While we are not promoting this novel idea, alcoholic beverages can be a big expense at the park. Some people have figured out that replacing water with clear alcohol in their water bottles is an inexpensive way to forego this expense…at least until Disney security starts testing liquids at security checkpoints! ![]()
![]()
Other guests suggest pre-mixing juice and alcohol in plastic juice bottles, then freezing them overnight. For a particularly sneaky option, you can purchase novelty alcohol flasks, such as those shaped as sunblock containers.![]()

There are two entrances to Disney property on SR 535. One is near the south end of the highway: World Center Drive entrance. The other, close to the I-4 exit, takes you directly to Disney Springs. ![]()
![]()
If you don’t mind walking a bit, you can walk to Disney Springs (and the Orlando Premium Outlet Mall) from many hotels along SR 535, avoiding vehicle traffic altogether. ![]()
![]()
From Disney Springs, you can take free Disney transportation anywhere on-property. This is the only entrance to Disney property accessible by foot.![]()
