Tips for Disney World this Christmas? -

I will be there Dec 27-30, yikes! But there s no other time we can go :(Do you have any tips, info or advice?Thanks!!

If this is your first time, it ll be tough.But here are tips, i go every year1. FAST PASS! 2. In Magic Kingdom, go to Fantasyland first-those are slow moving rides that get long lines by the end3. If you are attending the Very Merry Christmas Party, wait til the very end! The people leave around 11 and if you can handel staying up late, then stay till the very end4. See The Osbourne Lights! OMG They are amazing5. The World at epcot is Beautiful6. Don t eat lunch at prime lunch times! Those become prime ride times! 7. Leave the hotel bright and early8. Character breakfasts! that way while you re speedwalking from ride to ride you don t have to wait for characters9. The whole park is beautiful so bring a camera!10. Don t bring a giant bag of junk! Just bring an divers licence (they will card you, they cared my 60 year old uncle! He looks his age too!) a credit card or cash your room keys and any other necesites. You don t need the fifty two tissue packs a big wallet, fifty two pictures of your kids/other family, recipts from three years ago, granola bar wrappers, etc11. If you ve been to Disney World Before, you can stop to look at the hotels!12. If you re staying in the park, dont rent a car take the buses and monorails. It s incredibly annoying to park the car and walk back. Disney is a lot of walking so your feet will like the rest the public system gives you13. Wear comfy shoes! Like i said, its alot of walking!14. Have Fun! It s Disney!15. The resturant in Mexico has a ride inside and great food! even if you dont eat there, that s a place with no line and a decent ride. Its so beautiful16. www.allears.net has tons of other tips and resturant menus so you can leave for disney and know what to feed the kids, which they ll love and which you ll loveIt s really great have a great time!

It really isn t that bad, I just remeber to do these things1) If you want to sit down for meals without waiting and hour and a half then you need reservations-- for everything2)Get Fastpasses for the most popular stuff first, cause during the peak season Expedition Everest and Space Mountain and Rock n Rollercoaster can be out of passes by noon3)don t freak out if you have to do things a little slower-just enjoy surroundings and such4)Show up about an hour after the gates open. If you show up right when they open then you get stuck in a huge mass of people and it sets you up for a day of stress.5)If you are a first timer to Disney the use the Unofficial Guide to WDW, I swear on their touring plans during peak season

I am going from the 21st to the 27th! My family goes every year so I am pretty creditable :) I would say the best advice would be to utilize extra magic hours. These are hours that only resort guests can get into the park which makes it A LOT less crowded! Also If your looking for a great place to eat at Magic Kingdom there is a place called Liberty Tree Tavern that isexcellentt. You will also want to get fast passes for rides with long waits and while you are waiting for them to be in session, try finding a less crowded ride.Must see attractions: Tower of Terror,Haunted Mansion,Rock n Roller Coaster,Soarin, Mission Space ( although if you have motion sickness DO NOT RIDE!),Thunder Mountain Railroad,Space Mountain,Splash Mountain, Mount Everest (best rollercoaster in the park!), and many many others!What resort are you staying at? -Cameron
