Tips for New Fans for going to Walt Disney World

If this is your first time going to Disney, or you have not been in a couple years, this is what I recommend.

1. Use the Disney site. Honestly, this site can give you so much information including photos of all the hotels, the rates at which time of year, information on all of the rides and attractions, and all the special deals going on. The deals are a little hard to understand and apply if your booking online, so I suggest calling or asking a travel agent.

2. When you get there, use FASTPASS. Fastpass is a system where you can get a ticket for your place in line for a certain time. Usually it will have about an hour time period for you to come back to the ride and get on with little or no wait. The tickets do run out sometimes and are especially hard to find later in the day. Toy Story Mania at Hollywood Studios usually goes pretty early and so does Soarin' at Epcot. Soarin' fastpass was done when I got there at 2 pm once. So be aware of the new or very popular rides.

3. I used the Disney dining plan for the first time in May and it was the best idea. You do not have to worry about having cash on you all the time and don't have to worry about charging your credit card too high. The only thing you have to pay is the tip.

4. Try to experience everything. Don't just focus on the rides. But try and see parades and shows, while doing some meet-and-greets with characters. Rides are fun but can take up time. Make sure you look at everything.

I will post more tips later concerning dining, pin trading, and other things.
