5 Reasons You’ll Love Staying at Magic Kingdom Resorts

1. Monorail service to Epcot One thing that’s great about staying at one of the resorts along the monorail route is that you are able to hop on a monorail to get to Epcot. Normally, you have to take a bus to get to the other parks aside from Magic Kingdom, but there is service to Epcot from the Ticket and Transportation Center, which is a short monorail ride away from your resort. Nothing beats ge

2. The ability to get to Magic Kingdom easily It’s no secret that Magic Kingdom is the most popular park at Walt Disney World, and being able to get to it easily is definitely an added benefit of staying so close! If you stay at the Contemporary, you are able to walk right over to the front entrance from your resort. If you stay at the Grand or at the Polynesian, a quick monorail trip will get you

6 Secrets to Getting The Most Out Of The Animal Kingdom In One Day

1. Head to the Kali River Rapids for a wet pick-me-up. Animal Kingdom has so much to offer, and–because its main attractions are animals, with their own changeable behaviors and their own variations in activity levels–you're liable to miss out on some things if you take a mid-day break. Those breaks are certainly recommended in general (and definitely for the other parks) but the Anima

2. Eat on the go. Several sections of the Animal Kingdom are designed with Asian or African marketplaces in mind, and what better way to explore and enjoy those colorful settings than with a snack in hand? If you need to sit down, go for a rock wall or a bench–and keep an eye out for some lovely little lizards! When you do finally end your day, you can settle in one place for a full sit-down

3. Stick around for the night-life. You'll be needing the full meal from Tip #2, because the Animal Kingdom has some brand-new entertainment opportunities that take place after dark!

4. Stay hydrated. The Animal Kingdom has plenty of shade and tree cover, so it can be a wonderful respite on scorching days. However, shade is not a perfect solution to heat or humidity, and you will most likely be on foot for large portions of the day (particularly if you're taking my advice and choosing to stay throughout the afternoon). So keep drinking water, and take breaks whenever it's nece

5. Enjoy the indoor shows. The breaks from Tip #3 can easily be used as tools for multi-tasking; when you get tired, just go to one of the indoor attractions or rides! DINOSAUR will give you shelter from the sun and enough thrills to wake you up within seconds, while an interactive musical extravaganza like The Festival of The Lion King will sweep you up into its exciting and colorful fun!

6. Experience the animal-related exhibits at different times of day. You don't necessarily need to repeat every area of the park, but you should certainly return to exhibits that you found particularly interesting. Loved the giant anteater in the morning? Return to the Oasis Exhibits in the early evening to say hi again. Hoping to see the lions when they're actually awake? Well, good luck with tha

2. Fireworks Dessert Party Guests can find these options at any park where a nighttime fireworks spectacular or show is occurring.  These parties are great options because guests get premium “seating” for the fireworks show, but they also get treated with some delicious dessert options before the show (and in some instances during the show!). The cost may seem prohibitive, but during the busy and

3. Pre-Rope Drop Admission We love getting into parks before they officially open!  The only way for guests to sneak in the park before rope drop would be to have a breakfast reservation.  We’ve been lucky to get into both Animal and Magic Kingdoms using this method.  We love seeing the park with very few guests and having our pictures taken via the PhotoPass photographers!
