9. Climb Mt. Everest! For those who have a thirst for adventure, Expedition Everest — Legend of the Forbidden Mountain is calling your name. Board a roller coaster (I mean expedition) that is aiming to reach the top of the Himalayan Mountain. Just make sure you heed the warnings of the local Sherpas who fear and respect the mysterious Yeti. Not only is this coaster an adrenaline rush, the details

8. Travel Back in Time While the Dinoland section is mostly geared towards young children, the attraction, Dinosaur, was not built for the faint of heart. On this exciting dark ride, you will board a time travelling machine that will take you back to prehistoric times. The ride will be pleasant enough, assuming you survive the meteor showers and carnivores. No worries though, no passengers have ev

7. Meet Your Favorite Characters Since Animal Kingdom is not as traditional as the other parks, many guests don’t realize that there are several Disney characters to snap photos with. (Luckily, this means these character lines are usually short!) Dug and Russel, Pocahontas, and Baloo are just some of the many available heroes. Enjoy the longer character interactions and don’t forget to pull out th

6. Feast EPCOT is often hailed as being the foodie destination, but some Animal Kingdom offerings are serious competition. Enjoy a delicious teriyaki beef bowl at the Yak and Yeti, or try dining at the elegant Tiffins restaurant. Personally, I’d recommend the Tusker House buffet to any hungry visitors. This delicious spread includes everything from daring cuisine to safe comfort foods. Plus, Micke

5. Become an Official Wilderness Explorer! If you have any aspiring explorers in your party, you might want to stop by one of the many Wilderness Explorer stations! Inspired by Russel’s favorite organization, kids of all ages can stop by these booths to participate in activities and earn their very own merit badges.

4. Catch a Show Despite the shaded areas, Animal Kingdom’s temperature tends to be on the humid side. Luckily, there are many professional shows you can watch, and most are in air-conditioned theaters! Check out the incredible birds in “Flights of Wonder” or watch the acrobats sail through the air in “The Festival of the Lion King”. Specifically, I’d strongly encourage all guests to make time for

3. Dance Parties! The bustling Harambe Market often has musicians, singers, and dancers who are eager to perform, and (even more so) are hoping you’ll join in on the celebration! Leave your inhibitions behind if you happen to be walking by when a spontaneous line dance has broken out. After all, you’re on vacation.

7. If The Shoe Fits This tip is another essential for visiting any Disney park, all four parks are incredibly large and cover a wide amount of area. Unless you’re packing fairy wings or a magic carpet, you will be walking, and you will be walking a lot. On my last trip to the parks, my pedometer read 13.69 miles on the first day alone. A good pair of solid soled shoes is a must have for any Disney

6. Early Birds Meet the Mouse There are few more exciting sensations than being at a Disney park when the gates open. After all, a longer day means more time to play. Another rule of thumb is to arrive at the parks as early as you can. Many resorts and surrounding hotels offer shuttles, buses, or the new Minnie Vans to escort guests to and from the parks. It is recommended that guests, especially

5. Fueling Up Spending a day at any of the Disney parks takes a lot of physical energy. If you plan on spending the whole day, it is very important to be fed and stay hydrated. The latter is perhaps more important, but most easily remedied. Ice water is always free at any of the park snack bars. I recommend Gaston’s Tavern, the staff there are very friendly and the snacks and refreshments are norm
