I’m having a hard time settling down to write a good trip report on my trip to Disney World, so instead of talking about the rides and stuff, I’m going to make some recommendations for people who are going. (If you have questions about the rides and attractions or wanna talk about ’em, I’m delighted to do so in the comments.\u00a0 It’s just that I’m having a terrible time organizing my thoughts.\u00a0 Sorry about that).<\/p>\n
Now, from the ages of 3-25, I went to Disney World about every two or three years. So I’ve been there a LOT. I didn’t do any real research on the trip. I know<\/em> Disney and didn’t need to, right?\u00a0\u00a0 Well… if I’d thought, I’d remember that the parks are always a work in progress.\u00a0 After fifteen years, yes <\/em>there have been a lot of changes.\u00a0 First would be that fifteen years ago, I was not<\/strong> using the Internet.<\/p>\n Some things that are useful to the Disney traveler:<\/p>\n 1. Fastpass<\/strong>.\u00a0 Many of the rides and attractions have an option to go to it, get a ticket to go through a fast lane at a later time so you don’t have to waste time waiting in a line longer than a half an hour or so.\u00a0\u00a0 Once you have the pass, you have about an hour’s window to use it.\u00a0 You do kind of have to work this, as you can’t get a second Fastpass until the time for the one you have begins.\u00a0 You also have to plan ahead with this, because there are a limited number of Fastpasses for each ride available, and they’re usually all gone by four in the afternoon or so.\u00a0 But if you work it, you can get the pass for the big attraction, do the smaller stuff in the area and then are able to get on the big ride pretty quickly.\u00a0\u00a0 You can go online and create a map<\/a> for yourself of any park with what you want to do marked.\u00a0 I didn’t find this out until I had no printer available and downloading it to my Palm was too much of a pain in the butt.<\/p>\n
