How old are your children? In the last tip, I wrote about how if your child is under 3, they’re free. As long as they’re 2 on their first day of the trip, they’re free even if they have a birthday during the trip. A similar thing goes for 9 year old children. Anyone who […]

How old are your children? If you’re thinking about going to Disney World, and you have a 2 year old – soon to be 3 year old, remember that kids are free until they turn 3. If you’re thinking of celebrating their birthday at Disney World, make sure at least the first day falls before […]

If you’re celebrating a special occasion, or just want to document your trip to Walt Disney world, you can get professional photos taken. They have a few different packages, and you can currently get your photos taken at: Disney’s Polynesian Resort, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, Disney’s Beach Club Resort, Disney’s Art of Animation […]

There are many characters in the parks, and they’d be happy to sign their autographs for you while you’re getting your pictures taken with them. But you can do more than just get them to autograph books you buy at the Disney store or at the parks. First of all, if you do want them […]

Do you like to run? If so, you’ll be happy to know that Disney World hosts a few different running events. Coming up in the next year are: Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend Each weekend has multiple events, including races of different lengths, […]

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 […]

When you think of Florida, you think of warm weather. That’s not always the case. It does get cold in the winter months. Last November, I was in Walt Disney World and it was really cold. I was wearing pants, long sleeves, and a jacket and was still cold. So make sure you dress for […]

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. So […]
