Number 8

Arrive at the Parks early - Make sure when visiting Disney's Animal Kingdom and the Disney water parks you arrive early to ensure you beat the queue's. It's more important at these parks because they shut early evening - usually between 5 - 6. If you are visiting the Magic Kingdom, Epcot or MGM Studios and wish to stay for the evening shows or fireworks its important to ensure you arrive at a time thats realistic for you stay in the park until late. For example if your visiting the Magic Kingdom park the shows and fireworks are usually between 17:00 and 21:00 so its important you dont arrive too early if your going to tire and not enjoy the evening shows.

Number 7

Make sure you experience the Character Dining - Enjoy a breakfast, lunch or dinner in the company of your favourite Disney characters. Locations are available throughout the parks, you can find where to eat on any of the free park maps issued. Call the reservation line early avoid dis-appointment as Character Dining tends to be very popular.

Number 6

avoid the main parks at the Weekend - The weekends are the busiest times in the parks, so it well advised to stay away if possible. If you plan to visit any other local attractions or do some shopping the weekends will be the best time to do this, leaving you with more free time in the week to enjoy the parks when they aren't so busy.

Number 5

Check the Weather Forecast - Ensure you check the day's weather before you head to the parks. This will give you an idea on what to wear, if its going to rain in the afternoon you need to take appropriate clothing so that you don't have to return to your hotel - unless ofcourse your staying within the Disney resort. You can get regular weather updates on local TV stations or visit the following website for a good 5-day forecast http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/weather/

For Parents with young Children 'Baby Swap' is good program - Parents and kids 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.

Number 3

Arrive for the parades and firework shows early - When you plan you activities ensure you decide what nights you are going to attend the shows and parades. Ensure when you pick your spot for the parades & shows early, its recommended you arrive an hour early to ensure you get the best spot for viewing.

Disney's FASTPASS - Disney offer a fantastic service called FASTPASS. Full details on this service can be found here http://www.theunofficial-disneyworld.com/disneysfastpass.htm This is a great service and should be used on your favourite rides.

Number 1

Enjoy the Experience - Ensure you and your party experience all that you want while your in Orlando. You can be tempted to go on such as NASA, crocodile expeditions etc.... but depending on the tickets you have pre-purchased you maynot have time to fit all the activities in thus not completely enjoying your Florida experience. The biggest tip i can give is not to overload your stay with too many activities, it will turn-out expensive and you won't get the full benefits of what you have paid for.

Now you've read the tips, go and have the time of your life!!
