7. Time Off  On longer trips, we take afternoon breaks back at our resort, but on a short trip, we don’t have that luxury when we are packing in all of the excitement!  But, we still need some breaks where we can cool off and rest our legs – generally, we do this by taking in longer attractions that allow us to cool off inside – for example, a screening at the Hall of Presidents, a visit to the Am

8. Times Guides We always grab a Times Guide upon entering each park so we can see specifically when certain attractions are open until each day, when characters are available to meet, and when any special performances are occurring.  We do this so we can make sure we are where we need to be during our visit.  This always allow us to sneak in a little bit more fun on every trip!

9. Arrive Early Crowds at the Disney Parks are a constant, but crowd levels are smaller first thing in the morning.  You’ll be able to ride attractions with shorter waits, navigate through the parks, or meet your favorite characters with ease if you arrive at the park early – ideally at rope drop or by taking advantage of the Extra Magic Hours available to resort guests every day of the week!

1. Get some photographs. It's not recommended that you spend every minute of the day taking pictures (unless that's your passion), but you should certainly take SOME photos.

4. Ride the classics. Many traditional Disney attractions serve as wonderful odes to the World's history! Focus on the Magic Kingdom for these rides; since it was the original park, it contains authentic Walt Disney handiwork (such as the Carousel of Progress).
