Question by Jennifer P: Does anyone have any tips for going to Disney World?
My husband and I are taking our daughter (she’ll be 18 months then) It’s just as much for us as her–he’s being deployed right after we get back. Does anyone have any money saving or any tips in general while visiting the parks?

Go to your local library search for disney books they normally have very good tips. One book i had even had a set itinerary so you can go on every ride in minimal time
Go in January to early February or in September to early October. The crowds aren’t as bad and the weather is MUCH more tolerable than in the summertime.
Make sure you get to the park as early as possible to avoid the long lines.
She is too young and will never remember the trip. So really, this is for the two you.
The best thing to do is plan what you want to do. I went for a week and only did about a third of what I wanted to do, and that was without any children.
There are also tons of places you can get free coupons for various parks surrounding Disney, if you wish to do that as well.
I live in Florida I know. Go earlier to beat the lines! Buy the little passes that let you skip lines. Also don’t buy food there its way pricy bring your own snacks. Actually everything is more expensive there. Take your own pictures, don’t buy them from Disney. Also rides with 2 hour wait lines are NOT WORTH IT! Bring your own little fan thing because it’s hot as sin out there in the lines. And skip the mouse ears. You can tell a tourist by those tacky ears.
Can someone please help me?

Spend the extra cash, stay on property, because outside of each hotel there is bus stops, there are buses for all parks and downtown disney, the buses will also bring you back. Bring has much water and snacks you can carry. Try and see the light show at EPCOT it’s called IlluimNations: Reflections of Earth.
Go buy “The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World 2009″. This was the best $ 20 I spent for my family’s July 2008 vacation to Disney. The book contains reviews for restaurants, hotels, and attractions on and off Disney property. However, the best part of the book are the touring plans! The plans give you step by step instructions on where to go and when to go in order to avoid the longest lines.
For example: “Soarin” in EPCOT is one of the most popular rides in all of Disney. A 2-hour wait in line is not uncommon to partake in this awesome experience. However, using the touring plan in the book and maximizing Disney’s “Fast Pass” system, we were able to ride it twice in a row without waiting in line one time!
By the way, if you don’t know what the “Fast Pass” system is, then definitely get the book or ask us that are in the know at yahooanswers. It’s fast, easy, and one of the few FREE things in Disney. Yes, it is absolutely FREE!
Go out and buy the book today. I promise you will not be disappointed.
Have fun!
