10 Tips to Help You Survive a Power-Packed Day at the Disney Parks

5. Dining Reservations 

Much like the FastPasses, if are trying to get the most out of your trip, make sure you have an advanced dining reservation if you are looking to sit down for a meal.  You will definitely save time if you choose to eat at a counter service dining location, but we can understand the desire to get out of the sun, refuel, and cool off inside.  We also recommend you look for a dining reservation during non-traditional meal times – try grabbing lunch late or dinner early – your chances of getting a great meal and faster service are higher than if you choose to eat lunch right at noon!
