Disney Tips Your Guide To A Great Disney Vacation

5. Germany Germany has one of the best gift shops in World Showcase for a couple of reasons. One is the glassware sold there, that even though it is the same items sold in other parts of the Walt Disney World resort, many of the items can be personalized to commemorate your visit to Germany. In addition to glassware, the ...

10. Walt Disney Presents (formerly Walt Disney: One Man’s Dream) This classic attraction has recently undergone some changes! Walt Disney Presents continues to offer guests a chance to view the history of Walt, but now has the addition of a space for guests to preview what’s on the horizon. Models such as the Toy Story Land, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, ...

10. Kali River Rapids Kali River Rapids is the best ride for when you’re visiting Animal Kingdom during the hot summer months and you desperately need to cool off. While this ride is fun and refreshing, I generally tend to make this the last stop of the day, because even if you’ll dry quickly with the sun out it’s still ...

As much as I’d hate to admit it, we cannot be at Walt Disney World all the time. Sometimes the time from one vacation to the next one just seems to tick by too slowly. If you’re looking to add some Disney magic to your home between trips, read on to see my picks for the best ways to keep ...

5. Perfect Lunch Spot I generally find myself at Sci-Fi Dine-in Theater Restaurant for lunch for a couple of reasons. First, I think this is a great lunch spot for the price, but more on that later.

If you’re looking for something extra to do with your evening on your next trip, think about heading over to Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground for the Hoop Dee Doo Musical Revue or the Polynesian Village Resort for Spirit of Aloha. Disney’s dinner ...

7. Eating off property This might not seem like that big of a deal to some people, but eating off property is a huge deal breaker to me. I just have no desire to eat at any kind of chain restaurant outside of the theme parks, when I can eat at Walt Disney World. I am thoroughly convinced that Disney ...

8. The Hall of Presidents The Hall of Presidents is an excellent choice for when the weather starts to turn sour because you can easily wait for the show to start inside, and then the show lasts for a decent amount of time. Even if you’ve just missed the last show, there is plenty to look at in the exhibit ...

5. Get to the parks early, or stay out late By getting to the parks early (and by early I mean right when they open) or staying out late (a.k.a. until the park closes) you’ll be experiencing the least crowded times of day. While it might still be super crowded depending on the day and time of year, this is ...

7. Movies under the stars Each night, your Disney resort hosts a movie night, featuring a Disney movie. Schedules for which movies will be shown when can be obtained from the front desk of your resort. If you’re looking to get away from the parks, but still relax as a family for a bit, this might be a great option ...
