Tips for Visiting Disney World Parks
All of the Disney Parks are worth visiting but remember that some of the parks don't take as long to see as others.
The best way to enjoy the parks though is split them up over your entire holiday,so we would do an early morning one day in a park, then get back to the resort for chilling by pool in afternoon, and then following day we might relax in pool at morning then do a water park afternoon and then do one of the parks at night instead.
(parks are open until quite late at night - sometimes 10 or 11pm).
Trying to spend a full day in each park will just wreck you all Best tip of all is this, do each park twice for a half day or night each.
And when you do each park for the first time - get there BEFORE it opens.
This is my BIGGEST tip.
Get to each park BEFORE it opens, and then get out of there around lunchtime.
I GUARANTEE you will do and see more in those first few hours than you will for the rest of day and night combined.
The just rotate each of those early park morning with a lie in and chill out by pool.
Then when you return to each park for your second visit go in afternoon or evening.
You should also plan you park visit days around a few things:

You should also plan you park visit days around a few things:
- Special shows or events.
Hollywood Studios has this great evening show called FANTASMIC,but it only runs 2 or 3 nights a week, so you need to plan your visit to Hollywood studios on a night time to fit in with this show.
Same for evening firework shows at the other parks.
EPCOT has a laser and fireworks show every night at 9pm.
Magic Kingdom does most nights. - Don't wait until you are in each park to then stand around and decide what to do first, as 10,000 people run past you.
On your first day get a map for each park (or download then before you go) and plan on your way to the parks, or night before what everyone wants to do, so when you get into the park first thing you get them done first.
You can then chill out and take it easy, get an early lunch and enjoy the sites, why everyone else is only just arriving a the park. - Special hours, Disney gives its Disney hotel guests an hour earlier or a few hours later at a different park each day.
You need to AVOID whichever parks these special hours are, asthey will be rammed on those days. - Use FASTPASSES to your advantage.
Fastpasses is the system Disney uses to allow you to get a 'timed' slot for their most popular attractions and Disney Rides.
However most people wrongly assume that you HAVE to do the attraction within the 1 hour time slot on your fast pass.
This is NOT TRUE.
You can use your fastpass ANYTIME after the time slot begins - even later that night!!!!.
Once your time slot begins you are also allowed to get another FASTPASS for another attraction.
So you should use this trick to your advantage and COLLECT fast passes throughout the day, and only use them when its CONVENIENT for you (ignore the time slot on them).
