Here Are Five Essential Tips For Making The Most Of Your Trip:

  1. Book Dining Reservations Early
    Popular dining spots fill up quickly, especially character dining experiences. Reservations open 60 days in advance, so plan ahead to secure your family’s must-visit restaurants.
  2. Plan Rest Days
    Walt Disney World can be exhausting, especially for little ones. Include a few slower-paced days in your itinerary to relax by the pool or explore your resort.
  3. Use Genie+ for Popular Attractions
    The Genie+ service helps you reserve access to rides, reducing wait times for your family’s favourites. Prioritise high-demand attractions early in the day.
  4. Pack Essentials for Kids
    Don’t forget items like sunscreen, water bottles, snacks, and a portable charger for devices. A lightweight stroller can also be a lifesaver, even for older kids.
  5. Arrive Early for Rope Drop
    Arriving at the park before it officially opens, known as “rope drop,” lets you experience popular attractions with shorter queues before the crowds build up.
