Christy Caby Disney attractions are the source of many treasured and beloved memories for us.

9. Theme Park Complimentary Parking If you are taking a car to Walt Disney World, staying on site allows you to skip the parking fee at the parks, which is currently up to $25. Free parking is only available to annual pass holders and Disney resort guests, making this a savings that could add up if you’re staying off site ...

Dragon at Fantasmic If you’ve ever been to Disneyland, and seen the West Coast’s version of Fantasmic, you’ve probably noticed that their dragon is far superior to the dragon in the Florida version of the show. Where the Disneyland dragon appears to have a full body, its Florida counterpart appear to really only have a head ...

12. Go to Space Well, Astronauts can go into space… but for the rest of us, it’s something we can only do at Walt Disney World! Epcot’s Mission Space attraction gives guests the once in a lifetime experience of riding in a flight simulator and traveling through space.

5. Magic Bands A true Disney fan definitely knows how to decorate a Magic Band. Devout fans don’t settle for the plain grey ones, unless they dress them up with a little bit of paint or nail polish.
