Tips on a Disney World Vacation

Disney World allows guests to bring more into the park than you might think. In addition to being able to bring in food and drinks, guests should bring sunscreen, hats, batteries and extra memory cards for digital cameras. This will save you time and a whole lot of money because you will not need to buy any of these things in the park.

There are more than 20 hotels within the Walt Disney World complex. There are also five golf courses at Disney World. You have a pretty good chance that your hotel will be near a golf course, but if you want to increase those odds, you may want to consider staying at Disney's Polynesian Resort, which is the closest hotel to two of the park's five golf courses.

The "Fast Pass" system allows you to swipe your park ticket in a machine near the line for a ride. The machine will give you a "Fast Pass" ticket that will have a one-hour time range time printed on it. If you come back to the ride at that time, you can go to the front of the line. If you are riding a ride like Space Mountain and you have little ones who cannot ride, you and your spouse can get a "Child Swap" pass from an attendant before you get in line. This will allow one spouse to ride while the other waits. As soon as the first spouse gets off the ride, the second spouse can immediately board.

Although there are many souvenirs you can buy inside of Disney World, you can buy a lot of these souvenirs at stores outside of Disney World for a lower price. This is particularly true of Disney T-shirts. If you are traveling with young children, buy their souvenirs before you get in the park and periodically give them the souvenirs during your Disney World stay. They won't know the difference and you will save a lot of money. Perhaps so much that you can afford another round of golf.
