Here’s What a Day at Disney World Can Look Like if You Aren’t Prepared

6. MISTAKE: You’ve been at Animal Kingdom for 9 hours already with no breaks.

And you are the parent of toddlers—toddlers who usually nap for an hour each afternoon. You and your family got to Animal Kingdom at rope drop this morning. It’s now dinnertime. You’ve been in the park for over nine hours straight, and you haven’t taken a single break or rest from all the shows, animals and rides. And instead of jumping for joy at the prospect of having pizza at Pizzafari, your little ones are inconsolable. And for the life of you, you just can’t understand why the little darlings aren’t all smiles and laughter—they’re at Disney World, for goodness sake!

SOLUTION: Don’t approach your Disney vacation like you would a triathlon. There’s no prize for “Most Attractions Experienced in a Single Day.” The prize is in just being at Disney World and in making memories with your family. When you’re planning your days in the parks, be sure to make room in your schedule for rest periods or breaks—an hour or two during which you can return to your resort, let your babies nap and take a hiatus from the crowds and the heat. You can always return to the parks later in the day—if you choose to. Don’t expect very young children to adjust to a sudden change in routine like you can—even if that change is the result of a trip to Disney.

I am a writer and a Mom to four children and two baby shih-tzus. My first experience with the Magic was in 1988, when my parents surprised my brother and me with a visit to Walt Disney World after a short trip to see friends in Georgia. I still hum the tune played during the Main Street Electrical Parade and remember the feeling of excitement from my very first visit. I introduced my husband to the Magic several years ago, and we take our children to the parks every time we can. No matter how many times I visit Walt Disney World, it seems it’s not enough! The ever-changing experience only gets better with each trip, and I’m thrilled to share the Magic with others, as well as some of the tips and tricks to getting the most out of the Magic with each visit!
