You’ve probably heard the term Rope Drop at some point and wondered what it meant. This is one of those insider terms that made more sense in the past than it does today. In the past, Disney would use ropes to prevent guests from entering the park. It wasn’t ominous or anything. Cast Members would […]
Perhaps no subject matters more to us in this guide than Disability Access Service (DAS). A member of our (technically David’s) family has utilized DAS many times over the years, and it’s one of the many reasons why he loves Disney so dearly. The reality is that the world asks too much of those with […]
Before we get into Walt Disney World specifics, we’d like to offer a suggestion about theme park behavior. This isn’t our idea but rather one of the best suggestions we’ve ever heard. A parent was lamenting that their Disney vacation had gone off the rails, which does happen sometimes. When people get hungry and grumpy […]
Kim visited Walt Disney World for the first time in her life as an adult in her early 40s. Before the visit, she had no idea how much walking is involved in a day at the theme parks. Depending on the park and your ambitions, you can get in anywhere between 20,000 and 30,000 steps […]
Now that we’ve gotten that part out of the way, we can talk about what you can bring with you into the parks to help you have the best day ever! First, you should consider the type of bag you want to bring. In some cases, you may not want to bring a bag at […]
Whether you’re planning your first Walt Disney World vacation or your hundredth, you will inevitably arrive at the parks and think to yourself, “I forgot to pack __________!” Over the years, we’ve forgotten sunscreen, socks, Apple Watch chargers, contact lens solution, and deodorant. Of course, these items are readily available at airport shops as well […]
You’ll never lack for entertainment options at Walt Disney World. That’s a statement of the obvious, if ever there were one, but we feel the need to reiterate it here. In the next sections, we’ll discuss plenty of entertainment activities that you wouldn’t even know were possible if not for this guide. Even many frequent […]
When using DAS, the first thing you need to know is that you can book your first “return time” when you’re at the park. You obviously must be registered first. Previously, DAS allowed guests to choose an attraction before arriving at the park. Please be aware that this is no longer the case. Also, Disney […]
Walt Disney World theme parks open and close, just like virtually all other businesses. As a famous example, 7-Eleven named its entire company after its operating hours. You may have never thought about it, but the convenience store changed its hours in 1946. As a way to let customers know when they could shop at […]
You may have heard some criticisms about internet usage at Walt Disney World. We’re just going to level with you. A lot of those complaints are accurate. However, we’re happy to report that those problems have gotten a lot better in recent years. Disney has cleverly integrated 5G towers across the Disney World campus, which […]
