3. Get Dehydrated This is especially important in the hot summer months, when you lose a lot of water to sweat as you walk around the parks. Dehydration can make you feel miserable, and if severe can become a true emergency. There’s no reason to get dehyrdated at Walt Disney World! There are water fountains located throughout every park, and ...

2. Be Rude to Fellow Guests No one comes to Disney World looking to have a bad time. But sometimes the crowds, heat, and overwhelming nature of the place can get the better of us. It’s so helpful if everyone minds their manners! A simple “excuse me” when you need to get past someone or an “I’m sorry” if you ...

1. Be Rude to Cast Members  I’ve frequently seen guests arguing with cast members over things that he or she simply cannot control! Yelling at a cast member isn’t going to fix a broken ride, reduce the wait time, make your child taller, or change the weather. NONE of these things are the fault of a cast member, and no ...

There are so many great things that you should do at Walt Disney World, and we love to write about them! But there are a few things that you definitely shouldn’t do! Here are our top ten things you should never do at Walt Disney World Resort (and what you should do instead!)

10. Line Jump No one likes to wait in line. But it’s a necessary evil of any theme park, particularly one as popular as Walt Disney World. You’re going to spend some time waiting, even with excellent use of FastPass+ reservations. So just accept it, and don’t skip ahead in the line. Make use of the My Disney Experience App ...

9. Wear Uncomfortable Shoes No matter which Walt Disney World park you visit, you’re going to be doing a lot of walking. I know, you want to look nice and those strappy sandals look so cute with your outfit, but I promise when you’re dealing with nasty blisters you aren’t going to care about how you look!  A Disney Day ...

8. Forget Weather Gear The weather in central Florida is only predictable in its unpredictability. While winters are typically dry, I’ve been soaked in December. While summer is usually very hot and humid, there can be cool weather, especially after an afternoon rain. Just because it’s cloudy doesn’t mean you can skip the hats and sunscreen! Be prepared for a ...

7. Bring Forbidden Items Disney doesn’t allow certain items to be brought into the parks. This includes weapons (for obvious reasons), selfie sticks (they were being used during rides!), and costume and masks for anyone over 14 (so guests don’t impersonate Disney characters). Bags are checked at the entrance to the parks, and if you have any of these items ...

6. Forget to Tip This is a very common problem when using the Disney Dining Plan. Guests sometimes forget that while the meal is included in the cost of the plan, the tip is not. Be sure to leave a good tip for your server; he or she relies on that income. And don’t forget to leave something for Mousekeeping ...

5. Smoke or Vape Smoking is only permitted specified smoking areas in the Walt Disney World parks. This includes e-cigarettes or vaping! Walt Disney World is a family-friendly place full of lots of kids, so smoking is restricted for their (and everyone’s) health and safety. You never know if the people around you might have a medical condition or allergy ...
