Helpful Tips:

  • There’s no way to experience everything you want to see and do in this short amount of time at Walt Disney World, so don’t expect to do it all!

  • Don’t let long lines be a bummer. Bring a phone charger, hop in line, play a game, or watch a movie. Lines will happen! 

  • Pace yourself, you can’t do it all. Enjoy your time at Disney! When you start to get tired and need a break, get some rest in the air conditioning.

  • Florida heat is real, even in March. Drink water often, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Dress for the weather!
