I wanted to do a post about things that we did this trip that really worked for us so that we would not forget.
Make a plan!
Plan to arrive early to Hollywood Studios so that you can ride most things before lunch, watch shows in the afternoon and Star Wars Land in the evening. Fantasmic is great but not worth the effort to watch a second time.
Use the train in Magic Kingdom to jump between areas in the park, especially if doing Dumbo and Barnstormer.
Virtual cues open 1 hour earlier than stated. Join ASAP and then refresh as fast as can at the scheduled time.
In Animal Kingdom, ride the Safari in the morning. We rode right before closing and it was slow and fewer animals than we have seen before.
Tusker House is not worth the expenses at breakfast and neither is Chef Mickey’s. Crystal Palace is a maybe but it is very time consuming so plan accordingly.
No dining reservations on Epcot day- this allows for you to enjoy more food.
Always share your food at Epcot.
Schedule rest days after 2 park days and usually 2 days before leaving. Makes packing and leaving much easier.
Need an inflatable and bungee cords to identify the golf cart.
Metal refillable water bottles work best, ask for just cups of ice to refill.
Pretzels at the pool are a must but kids really only need an hour or so at the pool.
Plan to break up the trip on the way down_Savannah worked ok. And leave around 8am to return home!
