Cast Member’s Corner: Waiting in Those Disney Lines

If you’re headed to Disney World, you’re probably excited to go to the parks and get on all your favorite rides, but you’re not looking forward to the lines.  Well the Cast Members don’t want you to wait on those lines either.  They’re trying their hardest to get you on as quickly and effectively as they can.  If you are stuck on a long line near a Cast Member ask them if they know any trivia.  A lot of times the Cast Members have trivia about the park or their ride, thinking about the answers could make your time pass a lot faster!  Also take a good look at the decorations and read carefully, everything was decorated that way for a reason!  Cast Members also may be able to let you know if there are any hidden Mickey’s on their attraction and where they might be.

Disney with Little Ones: Fun Outside of the Parks

I use the term rest lightly because while some people may take that as an opportunity to snooze until brunch-time, that’s just not how my family rolls. Sleeping in is sleeping until 8 so we are up and at ’em pretty early most days, whether we are on vacation or not. Since my 2 little boys are bursting with energy first thing, we try to take advantage of the time to do something active. We had 2 full days to do whatever park-free activities we chose during our most recent trip. Our first day was a pool and laundry day followed by a leisurely evening spent at Downtown Disney.  Read more

Top Ten Tuesdays: Top Ten Water Activities at Walt Disney World

 One of the great things about visiting Walt Disney World is that for most of the year it is warm/hot enough to look for water fun to cool off (and the rest of the time, well you can still get in the water, but not necessarily to cool off…..). And of course, there are a number of other “water” things that won’t cool you off, but are lots of fun! 

Here are 10 things you should do in Disney if you love being in or on the water!  Some may get you wet, while others allow you to enjoy the water from a non-soaked point of view. 🙂
