Hi! My name is Audrey and I worked at Walt Disney World. In addition to being a former cast member, I'm a native Floridian and pass holder, so I've been there a few times.
That's certainly possible Good when you go to Disney. How should I know that? When I finally visited Disneyland for the first time a few years ago, I sucked at it. Not knowing what the crowd is going to do, where things are, or not having a game plan means you'll spend a long time just walking around and not really doing anything.
So here are some time-saving and headache-saving tips that I learned about Disney World from all my time there that will hopefully make you feel like you're maximizing your time!
1. If meeting characters is a must, character dining is a must.
2. Check the alley between American Adventure and Italy for characters.
3. Don't stop at Spaceship Earth in the morning.
4. Ask about rain locations.
5. Eat at one of my favorite places.
7. Disney Photopass photographers will take photos for you with your camera, so you can take a photo of everyone.
8. Bring a portable charger (or even your phone cord and plug).
9. Dine at a hotel and park for free for a day.
10. Save your Photopass code as your screensaver.
11. If you're thinking of going early in the morning or late in the afternoon, go in the afternoon
12. Use rider change if you have people who can't ride.
13. Watch parades literally anywhere other than Main Street.
14. Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind have different experiences if you go multiple times.
15. Take virtual queues seriously.
16. Plan a day without a park.
18. Finally, being a nice person in the parks goes a long way.
