Top 7 Tips and Secrets from a Walt Disney World Expert
1. Take the Resort Monorail Magic Kingdom's main monorail gets crazy busy towards the end of the night when everyone is leaving. Head over to the resort monorail instead.

The only caveat is that the monorail seems to appear less often and you do have to account for the added resort stops. But hey, that's just more

4. Animal Kingdom's “Secret” Entrance Ever notice how long the wait to get into Animal Kingdom can become at times? You don't necessarily have to wait in those lines.

3. Great (and Sometimes Free) Experiences Outside the Parks Who says you have to go into the Disney World parks to experience the magic? There's plenty of fun things to do outside of the four parks, if you're willing to look for it.

Chip ‘n' Dale's Campfire Sing-A-Long Speaking of free experiences outside the parks, a hidden gem worth checking out—and one of the best family activities around—is Chip ‘n' Dale's Campfire Sing-A-Long at the Fort Wilderness Campground.

7. Pick Your Tickets Up at Disney Springs If your tickets are already purchased and you're intending to pick them up when you arrive at WDW, you should try visiting Guest Relations in Disney Springs to collect them rather than waiting in line at a Transportation and Ticket Center window or at one of the parks.

6. Buy a “Tables in Wonderland” Card The “Tables in Wonderland” membership is one of those things that doesn't seem to get brought up nearly as often as the Disney Dining Plan does. Which is strange, because it can be a pretty good value if you play your cards right. Open only to Annual Passholders, Florida residents, and Disney Vacation Club members, each “Tables in

9. Backpack Before you can worry about which valuables to bring, you need something to carry all that stuff in. A backpack is the most convenient way to keep everything you need on your person at all times, and it can be taken with you on most rides so you can always keep tabs on it.

8. Ponchos Florida is notorious for its sudden rainstorms.
