Parent Swap – Is your child too short for a ride
you would like to experience? Are they too afraid to ride? Then you might want
to take advantage of Disney’s Child Swap program. When you enter the queue
area, have the child that cannot ride the ride with you and inform the Cast
Member you’d like to do a Child Swap. This allows for the first adult to ride
the ride with everyone else in the party while the second adult stays with all
the children that do not or cannot ride the ride. Then the second adult along
with a second rider can ride without waiting in the long line. (Often you are
put in the FASTPASS line unless there is no FASTPASS then you are guided to the
front of the line and are able to ride the ride quickly.)
4.
Single Rider Line – if everyone in your party is
over the age of 7 and don’t mind that you might not ride together you can enjoy
shorter wait times by utilizing the single rider line.

Test Track (Epcot)
5.
Advantages of staying on Property. Often people
will say they can find a cheaper hotel off site, but when you add into the
saving you get by staying on site, often a family of 4 can stay on site cheaper
than staying off site. One advantage is the bus system, once you enter Disney
you don’t have to drive anywhere. But if you don’t like the bus system you can
still drive your car and park for free, plus get Extra Magic Hours, it can all
add up. And if you travel in September you can get free dining.
What is Extra Magic Hours? Extra Magic
Hours offer a rare and unique opportunity to enjoy additional time in Walt
Disney World Parks-above and beyond the standard operating schedule-at no extra
charge.
Each day, one of the 4 Walt Disney World
theme parks opens one hour early or mains open up to 2 hours after regular
closing time. Additionally, Disney Water Parks offer Extra Magic Hours during
select time of the year.
6.
PhotoPass service And PhotoPass +- There are
Photographers walking around Disney Parks and standing with Disney Characters
to capture the Disney Magic. Select
Photographers can add Disney Characters and other fun surprises to your
photos. If you purchase the
PhotoPass up to 14 days before your
vacation you can get a discount and every photo taken by the photographers will
be included in the CD, along with all the copy rights to print them. Disney
just started offering PhotoPass+ allows you to capture all your vacation
memories-including all Disney PhotoPass pictures, plus select attraction and
Character Dining photos-within a 14-day visit to the Disney Parks, for just one
price.
7.
Baby Center – Want a nice quiet place to change
your baby, or even feed your baby. The baby center is a great place to stop off
at. With change tables and toddler bathrooms, simi-private rooms with rocking
chairs to nurse your child, high chairs and of course any and all baby items
you might need to purchase because you ran out. (Each of the 4 parks have a
Baby Center)
8.
You will get Wet! Most of the year Florida has
scattered showers, a poncho is a great investment. Also, there are splash play
areas at Magic Kingdom that children will love to play in, but Disney (because
of the health codes) requires that all guests that can walk are wearing shoes
and shirts at all times including while playing in the splash zone. With this
said make sure the shoes your children are wearing can get wet without hurting
their feet, if you still have a stroller I recommend having a change of shoes
for everyone, so they can change their shoes whenever they go on a water ride,
or play in a splash zone.
9.
Dining Reservations-Disney World sit down
restaurants fill up fast, especially the popular restaurants; you can make
dining reservations up to 180 days before your vacation. You can make a
reservation on-line or by calling 407-WDW-DINE.
Walt Disney World also has a dining plan that you can get if you stay on
property for more information check out RMHTravel.com
10. Pin
and Vinylmation trading. A popular and
fun thing to do is to buy and trade Pins and Vinylmations. You can trade pins
with any cast member wearing a lanyard, and you can trade Vinylmation. What is
a Vinylmation? Vinylmation is is essentially a blank, three dimensional canvas
(at Disney the canvas toy is Mickey) that is then painted and given a unique
design by various artists.
11. My
Disney Experience is a new interactive app that lets you plan your trip before
you go. You can keep everything in one place once you link your tickets and
reservations to your account, your Disney Resort hotel and dining reservations
appear in your plans. You can even add your own reminder notes for rides, and
stuff. You can view day-by-day plans including your Disney Resort hotel, dining
reservations, wish list items and reminder notes. Manage your plan on line or on your smart
phone.
12. Nothing
to do at Epcot for little ones- not true!
Kidscot Fun Stop-Most people thinks there
is nothing for young ones to do at Epcot, but Walt Disney makes it fun for
them. With Kidscot Fun Stops, at each country children can make cute crafts.
See the Cast Members at any Kidcot Fun Stop to get a complimentary cardboard
Duffy the Disney Bear for your child to decorate and personalize with the
supplies provided at each station. Your friendly Cast Member will share
insights about his or her native land, such as how to say “hello,” and give
your child a stamp of Duffy in each country. Visit each Kidcot Fun Stop to collect
them all!
Have an older child? Check out Disney
Phineas and Ferb: Agent P’s World Showcase Adventure. Join Agent P and help
solve clues to thwart some of Dr. Doofenshmirtz’s most daringly evil plots.
Visit a recruitment center at Odyssey Bridge, Norway Pavilion, Italy Pavilion
or near the International Gateway to receive your assignment and pick up an
interactive handheld device that will guide you on your mission.
13. Package
pick-up- You are in the back of the park, you spot something you really like,
it’s the start of the day, you don’t know if you really want to carry this item
all day long but you want it! Well don’t worry, you can buy the product and
they will hold on to the item and in fact they will deliver them to a store
near the front of the park for you to pick up as you are leaving. Staying on
site? Then you can have the packages delivered to your hotel the next day. (You
will have to pick them up at the store at your hotel unless you are staying in
concierge level.) Packages can also be shipped to your house for an additional
fee, with delicate items this might be a smart move as then the items are
insured and if they break, Disney will pay to replace them.
14. Bibbidi
Bobbidi Boutique is a magical beauty salon where any little girl can make her
dream of becoming a princess come true. There are two locations at Walt Disney
World, one in Down Town Disney and one in the Magic Kingdom. (they have a Knight package for the boys)
Don’t want to be a Prince? Check out the Pirate League at Disney’s Magic
Kingdom. Get “decked out” like a pirate and get sworn in, as a true
pirate. (there is a pirate princess deal
for the girls too)
