In our family, it is referred to as *The Look.* And this bleary, blank eyed stare and slow staggering gait, as though each of your feet has been set in a cement block, is acquired from a visit to Disney done wrong.
Having The Look is an indicator that you tried to do too much, and/or your time was not efficiently spent. The parks can be intense, but there are ways to spend time at Disney and still leave feeling as though you had a vacation-not like you are in desperate need of one.
Fast Pass popular attractions. Fast Pass is a free service offered by Disney which allows you to pick up a ticket and return for your attraction experience at an appointed time. This service is available for many of the parks’ most popular attractions and it is completely free!
Get an early start on your theme park day. Plan to arrive at the park as soon as it opens for the day. This is a great strategy for beating the crowds that will arrive by noon. If you're staying at a Disney resort, check for early park hours offered only to resort guests!
Take an afternoon break! Have lunch, take a nap, go for a swim! If you’re
Feeling up to it, do some shopping in Downtown Disney—just get away from the parks for a few hours during the most crowded time of the day!
Plan ahead! Familiarize yourself with the attractions, shows, and dining
experiences Disney has to offer. Ask your travel consultant for help in this
area; he/she should be able to design a custom itinerary for your family complete with dining reservations and confirmation for many special ticket events!
Wear comfortable shoes, drink plenty of water, eat properly, and plan to see shows when
the weather is warm or you’re feeling tired and need a rest. Often a 10 minute break can make a big difference in the way you feel!
Resist the temptation to do it all! First of all, this cannot be accomplished
in one trip, and second—walking around with The Look, which you are sure to acquire if you try to do too much, is no fun and it greatly diminishes our overall satisfaction with your Disney experience.
Build a hotel and/or resort day into your itinerary. Spend the morning sleeping in, then
go shopping, play some miniature golf, swim, go boating, relax, and
have a leisurely and fun lunch at one of the resorts many restaurants.
Do this mid-vacation…guaranteed to restore you to theme park readi-
ness!
Just as in the early morning, the hours just before closing can be lighter in
crowds; plan to make the most of this time.
Pace yourself, enjoy the time you are spending with your family, and remember; you are making Magical Memories!
