Wear comfortable shoes! (Moleskin and blister plasters are available at all drugstores!)

Get there first thing and go to the back of the park first and work your way forward. We got straight on all the rides!!

Use fast passes.

Go for lunch early or later. It gets busy!

Remember where you have parked your car!!!!! You have to pay to park too

Note we went in school holidays!! Its amazing.

Don't go in Spring Break time. May be cheaper to get there, but it's heaving!!!

Take frozen water in with you, and leave some defrosting in the car... will be ready to drink when you finally find your car!! ( trust me ).

Get bottles of water from a walmart etc and freeze overnight - they will gradually defost through out day and therefore a nice cold cheap water , but will also act like an icepack for any sanwiches etc for yourself or kids.
Be sure to wrap round with kitchen roll in your bag though as can get condensation around and could dampen otherthings in your bag.

With good exchange at the present eating in Disney not actually as expensive as in previous years -- good simple quick food - pizza planet, hollywood...Chinese -epcot and burger place in fontiere land all good this easter 08 when we went with 3 kids-5y 7y 14y

fast track a must to get head around especially for rides like soarin in epcot - we went and qued for nearly 2 h but even then well worth it .

I would advise wearing sensible clothing. Women, this means a good amount of support around the bust (sports bras?) as well as sensible shoes, whilst men should just wear whatever lol! Keep hydrated too, especially on those hot summer days, then you can enjoy the rides to the MAX! Rock on

Dont go to the theme parks every day you will be knackered miss a day then go back.Weve booked an extra week this year to chill otherwise you will need another hol when you get home ha ha.Order a kids eat free card b4 you go �10 you will save lots and theres so many places to use them. We always travel at the end of August ,most children start going back 2 school then there were virtually no waiting times ,20 mins at the most.
Walkie talkies r a must everybody has them buy them from Walmarts
very cheap.
We have twin boys and have always dressed them in bright coloured clothes, so they will be noticed if they move from your site children are distracted very easily.A good tip take a snap of your child each morning to document what they are wearing.
This is my twins third trip to WDW they went at age 2 4 + this trip age 6 WDW has something for every1.

Best advice as a villao wner i can give is do not go the parks of aweekend..go shopping insead or just chill by your pool. Also i know some are governed by school holidays but try to travel last two weeks in august through to end of septmebr as the americans, brazilians andarentinian are all back at school.
It drove us mad walkiing thru the prks with masses of kids in groups following leaders with flags..and they all got to go the front of the queue's..so frustrating when we were waiting upto 45 minutes to get on a ride!
So chill of a weekend if poss and avoid american school hols

comfy clothing and shoes are a must.. do not wear crocs!! they may look comfy and they are for a bit, but ul want to wear with bare feet, and belive me when i say i had blisters on the soles of my feet the size of a 50p piece! i was almost crippled with them.. it took two days for me to be able to walk normally... and then i spent the entire hol in trainers, with trainer socks.. so u can imagine the smell lol...
dress u and ur kids in the same colour t-shirts.. but never ever put your childs name on a cap or t shirt.. its an open invitation to, well u know who's!!
use the fastpass system and if ur a disney resort guest u can stay for extra hours at certain times.. brilliant! we stayed at the magic kingdom till 2am!!! do one part of a park in the morning, go back to ur resort for a kip and food, then another park in the evening.. you can mix and match ur parks..
also, hire the buggys for the kids.. even if they are a bit older.. our son was 5 when we went and the days hire was well worth it..! you can also transfer the hire to another park if u go to two on the same day! gave a lot of shade as well!!
pick up the leaflets which u get at the parks.. good for the maps and also whats on where.. so if u miss anything u can go back and target the things u missed another day...
