Disney Tips: What day is best to visit Disney?


What day of the week is best to visit Disney? We can tell you from experience which day is worst!!!! Try to avoid the Magic Kingdom on Saturdays and Mondays. These are the busiest days during peak seasons....What can you do instead? Visit one of the other Orlando theme parks. Remember, most people arrive over the weekend and the first park they want to visit is the Magic Kingdom. Also avoid the water parks on the weekend they are often crowded with the locals visiting as well as vactioners.

Come have fun in the sun!

Disney Tips: Off the Beaten Path From Disney

There is so much more to do in Florida besides Disney and the surrounding theme parks. There are so many nice nature parks and springs in the area. If you like to bike, snorkel, canoe, kayak or just relax away from the busy parks this is for you.


Located near the town of Longwood about 25 miles north of the theme park area on I-4 you'll find Wekiwa Springs State Park. This park is an oasis of natural beauty. The park offers swimming, snorkeling, hiking, canoeing and so much more. Just think how relaxing it would be to spend a day swimming or snorkeling in crystal clear springs where the water is a refreshing 72 degrees all year round!!

Disney Tips!: BABY SWAP

Did you know for parents with children too small to ride a ride you can use the "baby swap" (which is really an "adult swap".)? First, parents and kid(s) all line-up together; Parent A rides first with any older kids, while Parent B stays to one side with baby or under-height kids; once the ride is over, the parents change places, and again one parent rides while the other one waits. There is no need to wait in the line twice!!!
