If you want to be able to walk to the Magic Kingdom from your hotel, you should stay at the Contemporary Resort. The Contemporary Resort is the only hotel where you can do this! It’s really nice not to have to wait for transportation to show up. You just start walking, and before you know […]

Earlier, I had a tip about stopping at Publix or another store to get foods to eat while you’re at the parks or for breakfast so that you can save money. I want to be more general here, and just say that you should eat breakfast before you get to the parks. Why? I have […]

If you think that you can’t get to your hotel before check-in time because you have nowhere to put your luggage, think again. Disney resorts (and most other hotels all over the world) will happily watch your luggage while you go out, even if haven’t checked in yet. In fact, Disney resorts will lock up […]

You might think that once you book your trip to Walt Disney World, that you’re done. That’s not true. If you booked it with a travel agent or through Disney directly, you can still make changes to the vacation (well, the hotel at least – definitely not your flights) up until your final payment.

The good news is, if you know how it works, you can often get around the crowds. Let’s start with the different lines. There are 3 different monorail lines. The Resort […]

To many people, including myself, Walt Disney World is the most magical place on earth. But that doesn’t mean that there can’t be meltdowns, crowds, too much heat, etc. So you need to have reasonable expectations when you go. It’s great that you (or someone in your party) might want to go on every single […]

While you’re standing in a long line…or are on a ride, your stroller is out in a sea of strollers, waiting for your return. The problem? Cast members sometimes move the strollers. Plus, there are so many that look alike, it can be difficult to tell them apart without looking very closely. The answer? Make […]

There are a lot of rows on the Kilimanjaro Safari ride. So where can you sit to get the best views of the animals? Let’s face it, almost every seat is a good seat. But to make sure you get the best view, first of all, you’ll want to sit towards the back of the […]
