DisneyFanatic.com The Latest News, Advice, and Perspective from Disney Fans for Disney Fans!

4. Have an Itinerary You might not necessarily like to plan things, but at least having a rough plan can mean the difference between having the best day and a not-so-great one. And when your day is done, you’ll be eternally grateful for having sketched out the details of your adventure!

3. Do What You Want Enjoying Disney World with your family and friends is a truly magical experience. But try not to miss out on the things you want to do if someone in your company isn’t interested. And besides, it’s always good to have someone hold the bags while you’re having fun!

2. Check the Schedules The magic of the mobile app can’t be overstated. But the same can be said about your eyes and ears. Either way, stay on top of wait times for character greetings, shows and attractions. If you have only one day in Magic Kingdom Park, then seconds will count!

1. Be in the Moment If you forget this tip then it renders all the others meaningless. So while planning is always advised, just remember to lose yourself in the magic. After all, it’s so easy to get caught up with all of it that you forget to take any of it in. Ultimately, your time in Magic Kingdom Park ...

8. Capture the Special Moments Getting too caught up taking pictures can waste time. So why not rely on the park itself through Disney photographers and attraction-based cameras. And with “Memory Maker” you’ll have to-infinity-and-beyond’s worth of downloads of all your Disney PhotoPass photos and videos.

7. Take Plenty of Breaks Disney cares about both you and your experience, but the Florida weather doesn’t. Not only that, but exploring can be tiring, so be sure to crack the whip on yourself and soak in the magic of water and take plenty of restful breaks. Even Indy carries some much-needed time-out fuel in his satchel!

6. Meet the Characters You might be tired of hearing the words “mobile app”, but you’ll never grow tired of its functions. So, like the Beast’s magic mirror, use it to keep tabs on characters’ whereabouts and schedules. After all, no Disney park experience is complete without meeting your lovable childhood favourites.

5. Show Up Early While you’re unlikely to wind up in a long slumber like Sleeping Beauty, you still don’t want to leave it too long before entering Magic Kingdom. So fill up on breakfast bright and early to avoid a domino effect of disappointment!

12. See the Parades It’s simple – you just can’t leave Magic Kingdom unless you’ve seen the likes of the Festival of Fantasy Parade, which fills the streets with cheery sing-along fun and epic floats. But it takes place only once every day, so start memorising all your favourite songs!

11. Experience the Illuminations Another must-see experience is the illumination show that drenches the Cinderella Castle with more colours than all the Disney movies combined. It isn’t just the perfect way to end your day in the park, it’s one of the heart-warming experiences there is throughout the entire resort.
