Stay at Buena Vista Suites. Good rates, FULL breakfast buffet, pool and free shuttle service. Looks like Embassy Suites without courtyard. They have a gift shop, pizzeria and arcade. I always put my family and friends there when they come in town. Has fridge and 2 separate rooms with 2 tvs. For dining hotel gives Full breakfast buffet and then for dinner take dinner right outside park. (Steak n Shake, IHOP, Chik FilA, Panera Bread, Freddy's). Walk around Disney Springs as nighttime falls so beautiful with lights, musicians playing and chocolate samples. Small train and Merry go round to ride. Park on second floor of parking garage. Only way to get in. Magic Kingdom takes 2 days and other parks take one day. Go early to ride rides and see Animal eating at Animal Kingdom. Take shuttle back fir break then go back for light shows and fireworks at night. Download My Disney Experience App. Shows how long lines are, where to see characters and games to 0lay while waiting in line.
We did not enjoy the Disney Parks much. Way too expensive for what you get out of it. Maybe a great place to go if you have kids. Even thats debatable. In orlando we like ICON PARK, SEA WORLD, & DISNEY SPRINGS. Orlando has much more to offer than JUST Disney.
I live in the parks and what we do is we ate a strong breakfast every morning before going We put on our more comfortable shoes and clothing is a lot of walking and the weather can be tricky, always check the weather to know if its raining and be prepared...when it rains it pours out here. We try to have a sistem to ride the best rides or the ones that the family like the most because there's a lot of things that don't deserve waiting or loosing your time. In Mk space mountain, 7 dwarf, splash mountain, haunted mansion we arrive and star clockwise we have a dole pinnacle vanilla cone,and have a hamburger meal like at 7:30 p.m. at the tomorroland.then wait for the fire works. At Ak we ride Expedition Everest kilamanyaro and avatar then we do the rest calmly we don't eat at the park we have our strong breakfast and a quick simple snacks lunch then when we exit the park we eat outside on a restaurant or wendys stake and shake chick fill a whatever we feel like.
So much great advice here. Not much for me to add except I would also plan to go walk around the various hotels. It's free and they're each unique and beautiful. The Four Seasons which is close to Fort Wildnerness is stunning.
Pack snacks an do quick services. Magic Kingdom an epcot. The meal plan is the best route but they are not doing them at this time
I have been going to Disney World for about 50 years. I'm 76 years old and I'm in good physical condition. My wife and I enjoy walking slowly. There's no rush to go here and there. Each park is a full day. Every other day is to relax and enjoy the hotel swimming pool and the dining on-site. Enjoy a lunch or dinner in the park or at another Disney hotel. The character meals are expensive. Most are fun, but once is enough. Eating is the most expensive daily thing you need to do. We have annual passes for the weekday activities. We start at 10am and end about 6pm. We go slowly through each park we visit. It truly is a magical place. Souvenirs are great to have, very expensive and great to look at. We buy t-shirts at Walmart or Disney Stores outside of the park. I try to budget about $75 per day for two people. There is so much to see and do. Don't wear yourself out on the first day. Have fun and be safe.
Unfortunately they no longer have the meal plans. So make sure you budget your meals, as they are expensive. Magic Kingdom is a must ✨ Hollywood also nice 👌
Find a cheaper hotel near by and pack snacks it will save you lots of money
Sure and definitely plan way ahead of time. Do you want to visit all 6 parks includes the water parks if both are open. I highly suggest that at Magic Kingdom you spend the 1 whole day there for the young ones and if you are staying at a resort on property you can come back later in the evening for the fireworks 🎆. Also, remember the month of March starts to get busier at all 4 theme parks, since it is Spring Break season. And there might also be international tour groups as well.
If you want to visit Disney, Stay at Disney. Art of animation is inexpensive and currently upgrading people to suites upon arrival if you ask for one. You get a room that has a kitchenette 3 beds, 2 full bathrooms and it has the Skyliner and free buses and pools everywhere, also the food court is inexpensive and they will deliver it to your room or you can order before you head over and it is ready when you get there. Super clean and secure. Outside Disney is always sketchy or dirty. Also look for a reputable agent that is Disney certified or verified, you know what I mean. They give the best advice for free and always get you a better deal. We used a lady that got us everything but the airplane and it was cheaper than my wife found and at no cost! She was there for us even during the trip, and scheduled rides for us and dinner reservations and even got us upgrades for free! I don't remember the website but I think it was a Facebook post or page. KellyTravels.com hope it helps!
Go to Disney Springs, park for free and catch the free bus to the Boardwalk. There you can take a walk and/or catch the free boat to the rear entrance of Epcot. Then you can ride the free skyliner. You can go to different resorts and walk around for free! Or go to Disney Springs and catch the free Animal kingdom lodge bus. In the back you can see wild animals walking around the resort. It's all free!
Take full advantage of the free cups of water
Take advantage of hotel breakfast!! Grab atleast 2 fruits per person... apples banana etc. Have fun
Expensive as ever with less magic. I would stay away until Disney comes to the realization that their business is all about the Magic not the rides and immaculate landscaped parks.
Don't waste your money on expensive WDW character meals. They do not stop at your table at this time.
Take food with you onto the park and bring waters if you want sodas just buy the drink that comes with all the refills
Check out the Magic Tree Resort. Full amenities, heated pool Just a couple of miles outside of Animal Kingdom. Also have a Disney style Walmart Just across the street.
Use a Disney Vacation planner, they are free and will get you the most bang for your buck
You can maybe spend 2 weeks at Disney's Old Key West Resort. Trust me, they have great accomodations and the rooms are cleaner than ever! I can choose between a 2 King bedroom and a studio room, but I would most likely prefer a 2 King bedroom, because you can fit your young children all in one room, and you two in the other room. All 4 theme parks are very nice to go to, so I'd prefer you go by public transportation (or rather, the Disney Transport motor coach) because it is the perfect choice to go to the theme park and back to your resort hotel. And if you're riding on the rides, that's a good choice too. But there are rides you have to avoid with. Avoid riding the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster by Aerosmith. The reason is, because that ride contains very high kinetic energy and it can cause motion sickness. Stay away from Expedition Everest. The reason you have to avoid it because that ride may give your younger children the chills about seeing the Yeti.
They have counter service places to eat which would save some money on your food. What we did was loaded up on breakfast, had just a snack at lunchtime and a decent dinner. A lot will depend on if you are staying on property or not. And if if you have a car or not. Some cost saving suggestions. A cabin at Fort wilderness, you could make a quick breakfast and sandwiches for lunch and just buy dinner.
No, the half price shops are not legit. But tickets only from the theme parks directly, or undercover tourist.
Eat good 😗 bk take some food treats like fish crackers 😂 budget food for the day 😂
Harry Potter is not Disney. That is Universal Contact Disney now for assistance as things are constantly changing Sometimes an annual pass is cheaper than all the individual day passes. I am Disney Vacation Club member and that offers many perks. See if you know someone who is a member Also it is better to stay in a Disney Hotel instead of outside the Disney Propert
Definitely do the park that had the Harry Potter world, and you can get another pass that allows you to travel between parks. Online is cheaper than in person. Also. There are a bunch of local shops that are selling you packages for half the price and they are legit.
