DISNEY WORLD FLORIDA: advice, tips and do's and don'ts
Central Florida has been acclaimed as the vacation capitol of the world
and it is a well deserved title.
Florida has sun, sea and some of the most beautiful sandy beaches
that you will find anywhere but then of course the cherry on the top is
of course the incredible theme parks.
Another big plus for Florida is the wonderful variety of food: something
for every palate. From succulent steaks at Ruth's Chris, to great Italian
Trattorias and the, not so well publicised but first class restaurants
such as Le Coq Au Vin in Orlando and Victoria and Albert's at Disney
World's Grand Floridian resort, it is possible to dine like a king or
queen every night of the week.
So you can, with a healthy covering of waterproof SPF protection, soak
up your vitamin D as you gently bronze in the warm Floridian sun,
enjoy the fabulous new rides at the theme parks, indulge in dining at a
superb restaurant and then retire to your luxury accommodation.
In Florida you do not need to compromise as it has everything.
A couple of pointers:
Purchase theme park tickets from bona fide registered sellers. Do not
risk purchasing tickets from other outlets as, if they are not legitimate,
you take the risk of being turned away at the park gates. There are
unfortunately fraudulent tickets out there.
When you visit the parks where comfortable shoes. You will be
surprised at how much walking there is involved and there is nothing
worse than aching feet.
Take something waterproof to protect your clothes from the sudden
heavy downpours. The plastic capes with hoods which can be
purchased in the parks or locally from Walmart etc. are great as they
are lightweight, can be packed very flat and will fit into quite a small
area in your purse or fanny pack. These are especially useful on the
water rides.
Get up early. There are several reasons why visiting the parks as soon
as they open. Of course they are not so busy and you will be able to
get on a couple of the rides relatively quickly. You will be able to enjoy
several hours in the park before the high temperatures of the mid day
heat. You will be able to get your bearings.
Consider visiting the parks on quieter days such as Tuesdays and
Wednesdays.
Wear the best protection sunscreen SPF especially slather children
and babies. A hat or cap is also a good idea.
When you park your vehicle make sure that you write down the
location it is easy at the end of an exhausting day to confuse Goofy
and Pluto.
Most parks have a pet centre where you can book in your beloved pet
and they will be cared for in the cool until you leave the park.
When you enter the park take a few minutes to check out that day's
entertainment and activity schedule. Plan your tour so that you do not
miss a great show that may only be on once a day.
Consider hiring one of the park's child carriages for small children.
They are not very expensive and can be a great help for quick naps.
If you want to eat in one of the park's restaurant rather than just the
snack bars or cafés consider booking your desired eating time at you
chosen eatery at the start of your day. They get booked up very
quickly. If you want to eat in Cinderella's Castle or similar then you will
need to pre-book. It is wise to reserve seats at Cinderella's Castle a
year in advance.
Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration. There are always several
water fountains or areas to purchase bottled water. Keep an eye on
children make sure that they too drink sufficient water and that they do
not get too hot.
Take a break during the day. Make sure that you have your ticket (and
if required for re-entry your hand stamped or check that it is allowable
with your ticket type). Return to your hotel or villa and have a siesta or
refreshing dip in the pool. You will avoid the peak time crowds and be
able to return refreshed.
If the park has a grand finale or a particular parade find a good viewing
position early or you may not actually see anything.
When it is time to leave try to be patient. It will take time. Please just
accept it with a happy heart. There will be queues to leave so take
care, make sure that you have all of your family together and navigate
your departure with decorum. Make sure that you take time to check
that you are in the right traffic lane for your destination and drive
carefully.
I hope that these couple of suggestions help to improve the quality of
your theme park visit.
Have a great vacation.
