In honor of Mickey Mouses birthday I am go to give you my best tips on how to do Disney World like a pro.

Make dining reservations 180 days out.

In my experience at Disney World you need to make dining reservations for every time that you want to eat at a sit down restaurant. If you don’t make these reservations then you will not get to eat where you want.

Make your fast passes 60 days out.

Fast passes are used to ride rides without waiting in an extremely long line. My family makes them for every big ride that we want to ride in a certain park. You can only make three passes a day and only in one park.

Know what park you are going to on what day.

Before my family goes to Disney we sit down and choose what park we will be going to on a certain day. The first day we are there you usually go to downtown Disney because it is not as busy as the other parks. We also usually save Magic Kingdom for the middle of the week because it is the most popular and crowded park.

Experience the other things Disney has to offer.

Besides the four main parks at Disney there is also two water parks, three golf courses, downtown Disney, the Boardwalk, and spas at certain hotels. If you don’t feel like going to park because it will be busy you can experience all of these others things.

My family usually plays golf during the morning while the parks are busy. We also go to the boardwalk at night at watch the fireworks at Epcot so we can avoid the crowds.

Learn how to avoid the crowds.

If you go to Disney World during the holidays it will be very crowded, but there are ways that you can avoid them. When my family goes we try to avoid Magic Kingdom as much as possible because it is the most popular park and it always crowded. We go to Magic Kingdom during the middle of the week when most people go to other parks.

Have Fun!

Just remember to have fun and enjoy your time there. I have been to Disney World twelve times and it is still one of my favorite places to be. There is always something new and fun to experience in all of the parks. Disney World is said to be the most magical place on Earth, and if you follow these tips then you will have a grand time.
