10 Tips for your Magic Kingdom (Orlando) Visit Jul 04, 2008
1) Get to the park early. We arrived at 8 am and none of the rides had any waits. After 11 am, the place gets packed.

2) Know which rides you want to start off with. If you're interested in Splash Mountain and Space Mountain, get to them early because the wait will get to over an hour long.

3) Save your ticket once you enter the park. You can use your ticket up to 3 times during the day for a "fast pass" ticket. When you come upon a ride that has a long wait, simply slide your ticket into the fast pass machine to reserve a time slot to come back to the ride. You cannot pick what time you want to revisit the ride so be sure to check out the screen displaying the next available time. A ticket will be printed for you, simply return to the ride at the designated time, show your ticket and viola you've bypassed the line.

4) Many of the classic rides have longer lines than the thrill rides. Peter Pan, It's a Small World, Dumbo and Snow White all have long lines as well. Consider using your pass for one of these.

5) In Tomorrowland, if you ride the slow paced Blue Line you will get a great aerial view of the park and this may help you become oriented.

6) Check out the maps provided at the front gate. They offer information about the locations of bathrooms and restraunts as well as when the parades are, where and when to catch the shows and when the fireworks are being set off.

7) If you're using a stroller, don't always expect it to be where you parked it. It may be easier to bring your own stroller rather than getting on at the park. All of the park's strollers look alike and it may be hard to locate the one lent to you. If you've brought your own it will be easier to spot.

8) Arrive early to the parades. People start lining up about 40 minutes before the parade. Grab an icecream or a cold drink and claim your spot for the parade.

9) Try eating in Fantasyland. There's a great sitdown place that offers views of the It's a Small World ride and someone helps you find a table so you won't have to search for one.

10) Don't try to do Magic Kingdom all in one day. It can't be done. If you attempt to do so you will regret it.

Walt Disney World Adventure! May 01, 2009
Went a couple years ago with my family.2 brothers,myself and my mom.What an amazing place!We stayed at the All Star Movies resort and never had to drive anywhere because they have buses that take you all over the entire walt Disney world resort. We woke up early and went to the water parks until noon then went back to the hotel and got dressed and spent the rest of the day at one of the parks for seven days straight. I had a blast and so did my family... don't forget to get park hopper tickets and add the water parks in the summer that way you can go to 2 or more parks in the same day. Just remember to play the day by ear and don't plan out your day.Catch all the night time shows at the parks too especially illuminations at Epcot. Just cant wait to go back again :)

Disney adventures, 2008 Dec 08, 2008
I just got back from Disney World in Orlando Florida. It was a great time and it was actually great timing since the lines were not long for most of the attractions. Visiting all four parks as well as Downtown Disney, the worst of the lines were during the parades down Main Street

In Epcot, I especially enjoyed Norway. Here we ate at Akershus and enjoyed the potpie and drinks. Outside, there was a sideshow telling all of the elf-like gnome Julenissen who visits families animals and makes sure they are healthy and well during Christmas time. Instead of Cookies, he is left a warm bowl of pourage. The story was told by the beautiful Sigrid (who is Norwegian) and had pranks pulled on her by Julenissen himself. Finally at the end of the presentation, Julenissen showed himself to Sigrid and made a believer of her. Also in Norway is the maelstrom log-flume like ride that gives a brief overview of Norwegian culture.

Germany of course is famous for it's beer and bratwurst so that's what I had. It was night time and the fireworks just started. We had a table right at the front of the Biergarten and it was cool to see fireworks shooting up over the front building or illuminating it when they exploded behind it. The pictures will show you what I mean once I post them.

Of course the rollercoasters throughout DW are great and if you can get a Fastpass or go up in the Single Rider lines, it saves sooo much time. I was fondest of the Rockin' Roller Coaster featuring Aerosmith and Expidition Everest. Both were fast and exciting to say the least.

Magic Kingdom where there were 3 seperate parades depending on The time of day in which saw them. You had the daily parade, the Sprectra light parade and Mickey's Christmas Spectacular (I highly recommend it if you are there during the Christmas season) It is an extra fee to be there after 7PM on those nights, but the lines are short and you get free cookies and either Hot Chocolate or Apple Cider. I lost count of how many times we went on the Indy Race Cars in Magic Kingdom... I know it was at least a dozen. The Pirates of the Carribean ride is always fun to go on. Be sure to check out Buzz Lightyear and shoot the Evil Zurg!

Hollywood Studios (formerly MGM Studios) has added 3 a few new features. One of shich is Toy Story Midway Mania, a carnival like shoting game where your gun has a draw string like a pop-gun. It was a blast, no pun intended! Next to the Star Tours attraction is the Jedi Training Academy where younglings can train in the art of the Light Saber and even face against Darth Vader himself. It was a treat to behold. The Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular is always a fun show no matter how many times you have seen it. And dining at the 50's Prime Time Cafe is a treat with the fun yet not so polite servers (intentionally). I would go there again and again!

So the main disney park, the Magic Kingdom. This was the only park we had to return to to do all the rides as after lunch the queues started getting long and we still had over half the park to try. The rides are special here, there are the Boat rides (Pirates of the Caribbean, It's a small world - with the most mind numbing repeative song you will ever hear {see my website to hear it}, Splash Mountain - which is a true log flue, Jungle Cruise- which has a guide with the most corny jokes), Shows (Mickey's PhilharMagic - a 3D film with snippets from classic Disney movies), Thril rides (Space Mountain and Big Thunder mountain), Animatronic rides? (Carousel of Progress - A family in 4 scenes showing the world updating, Peter Pan & Snow White - Rides through the movies) Parades, Fireworks. And so so much more.

Our 2 Favourite attractions were;
Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin - A ride through Zurg's Space to where you shoot Energy units (Batteries) and gain points.Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh - A ride through the pages of everyones favourite bear.
But the whole park is magical and filed with wonder.
