10 Ways You Can Fall Behind on a Disney Vacation

3. Sleeping In

There may be a day or two on your vacation that you are so exhausted, sleeping in is worth the missed park time.  However, one of the easiest ways to fall behind in the parks is to sleep in repeatedly.  While you may not choose to arrive at “rope drop” or park opening each day, you should aim to arrive within half an hour of park opening to ensure you can see as much as possible.  Meandering in at 10:00 am means longer bag check and attraction lines as well as being welcomed into the park by the first heat wave of the day.
