Congratulations! You've made the decision to go to Walt Disney World. It has been nicknamed "the happiest place on earth" for good reason. With sensational attractions and shows, as well as customer service that are top-notch, Disney World has continued to rank as one of the most popular vacation destinations in America. Few other places offer as much of a variety for people of all ages to enjoy together. With all this in mind, it is a wonder that you can return from WDW without having an amazing time, but there are a few simple tricks will help you to make your experience even more magical.

1. Get to the parks early. This is the most important of all the tips and probably the most controversial. Most vacationers will not want to give up sleeping in and will arrive at the parks around noon. That is why waking up early and getting to the parks when they open is such an imperative step to making your vacation more magical. By going early, you will beat the crowds, as well as the heat if you are going to be in Florida in a warmer time of the year. You will avoid standing in lines and be able to visit so many more attractions. This is even more imperative if you are visiting during a peak travel period, such as Christmas or Easter. Even if you are not a morning person, you be so thankful that you followed this tip. Mornings=Magic in Disney World!!

2. Make Advance Dining Reservations. It can be difficult to decide where you want to eat and on what day months before you even leave for your trip, but making dining reservations is an excellent idea. During busy times, guests have been know to be turned away or have to wait 2 hours for a table. This is not necessary when you can make a simple reservation by calling Central Reservations Office at 1-407-WDISNEY (407-934-7639). Reservations can now be made as early as 180 days prior to leaving for your trip. Some of the more popular dining experiences, such as character breakfasts, fill up very quickly. If you are interested in what's on the menu at the different restaurants, a great resource is www.allearsnet.com.
