Disneyworld Vacations

Disneyworld vacations can be unforgettable family experiences, full of wonder and excitement, especially for younger children. But unfortunately, things can also go wrong on a Disneyworld vacation, and because children's expectations are usually so high, the Magic Kingdom can be a real letdown if not planned for properly.

By following a few simple tips you can minimize the pitfalls and hassles of Disneyworld vacations, while maximizing your family's enjoyment on the rides and attractions. In this article we will discuss best ways to plan and prepare for your families Disneyworld adventure.

Towards the end of this article I'll introduce you to someone who not only made our maiden Disney World Vacation 100% hassle-free but also helped us save almost a thousand dollars last summer when we visited Orlando, Florida for our Disney World Vacation. I found that each one of her tips was saving me at least a hundred dollar in terms of money and several hours in terms of time. In Disney World when you have excess time and money to spend, it necesarily means more rides, more places to visit and more fun for you to have. Honestly, if you aren't listening to her Disney World Vacation tips, you are definitely missing something

The first and most important consideration is your family's health. Remember, Disneyworld is located in Orlando in south-central Florida, and during summer months the weather can easily reach 95 to 100° Fahrenheit. Accordingly, sunscreen is a must for every member of the family. Ideally you should bring your own sunscreen, but if you forget, there are many places to buy sunscreen both in and around the Disney theme parks, though the prices are often higher at these locations.

Besides sunscreen, it's a good idea to wear hats, sunglasses, and above all else, be sure to drink plenty of water. As a general rule, any time you are outside in Florida, a bottle of water should be in your hand. The number one health issue of Disneyworld vacations during summer months is dehydration. Keep your family hydrated and be sure everyone has a bottle of water at all times.

Motion sickness is another common health issue during Walt Disney World vacations. Younger children, especially, may beg to ride the wilder, roller coaster-type rides; but if they are prone to carsickness, or any type of motion sickness, you would be wise to steer them away from the more extreme rides.

Another pitfall of Disneyworld vacations is eating. There are snack stands everywhere you look inside the Disney parks, and it is incredibly easy for children to wind up with stomach aches, and spoiled appetites by filling up on ice cream, chocolate bars, popcorn and other treats. Snack prices also tend to be extraordinarily high inside the parks and can quickly ruin your Disneyworld vacation budget.

A much better option is to bring healthier snacks with you in your bag. A combination of sweet snacks and healthy fruits and nuts should satisfy the little ones, without blowing your budget or spoiling their appetites. It's also better to agree upon preset times for snack breaks. This can reduce the temptation of snacking "as you go" between every new attraction.

When it comes time to sit down for a proper family meal, you might be surprised to learn that this Disneyland property has several quality restaurants to choose from. The only problem is, the better restaurants tend to have long waiting times for a table. However, it is possible to reserve a table in advance, and you can do this either when you first enter the park, or even before you arrive at Disney World by contacting Disney World customer service by telephone or online.

Without a table reservation, the better Disneyworld restaurants have normal waiting times from 45 minutes to two hours! You can probably imagine your children's frustration at waiting over an hour for a table while there are Disney rides and attractions only stone’s throws away! Book your reservations in advance to ensure your family gets a good meal without a long, frustrating wait.

Disneyworld vacations can be amazing adventures for the entire family, and by following the simple tips in this article you can minimize "down time," and hassles, to get the most out your family's Disneyworld Vacations.
