10 best tips for your DisneyWORLD vacation!

1. Download the "DISNEY EXPERINCE" app - make your reservations and book those fast passes before you even get there! Also it shows you showtimes, character meet & greet times, etc! Best to plan out each day so you can get the best out of it.
2. Best shows/parades to see- PARADE: Festival of Fantasy (Magic Kingdom), FIREWORKS: Wishes (Magic Kingdom), SHOW: Fantasmic (Hollywood Studios), SHOW: Illuminations (Epcot) PARADE: Move it, Shake it (Magic Kingdom)
3. Don't leave the park without trying DOLE WHIP (Magic Kingdom in AdventureLand) Mickey ice cream bar (duh!) you can find in any park, FRIES from Caseys on MainStreet USA (Magic Kingdom) or right by Thunder Mountain (Magic Kingdom), as far as ICE CREAM, the "Kitchen sink" at Beaches and Cream on Disneys Boardwalk is amazing! Go with a big group though ;) 
4. Pack light! You never know how many peices of merchandise you will be bringing home!! Definitely leave room in your suitcase! 
5. Get to the park EARLY! That means taking the tram over 30 minutes before parks open! If you want to bypass lines and or meet characters before there's a line and you miss your chance, or take pictures in front of the castle with no one in background, then go when park opens!!! Trust me you will be glad you did. There's nothing like strolling down Main Street at 9AM. 
6. Drink around the world at Epcot! Even if your with the little ones there is definitely things to do in each country. It's so fun to try a drink you've never tried in each country. 
7. Splurge on at least one meal! If you love Disney characters like me, I say do a Character dining (if you do breakfast or lunch it's not as pricy as Dinner). As for character dining I recommend Crystal Palace (Magic Kingdom) or Royal Table (Magic kingdom) or Chef Mickey (Contemporary Hotel). Or a dinner show like HOOP DE DOO REVUE  (Fort Wilderness Lodge hotel). 
8. Stay as late as you can at Magic Kingdom and take epic pictures on Main Street. Yes it's tiring, but taking an epic picture in the middle of Main Street with no one around is awesome. Also seeing a Kiss Goodnight on the castle at the end of the night is the best.
9. Do not waste your fast passes on shows- to me they are pointless. All you have to do is show up 15-30 minutes early for fireworks/ parade/ shows to get a good spot. Use your fast passes on rides that have ridiculous lines! For instance, SPACE MOUNTAIN, TEST TRACK, MOUNT EVEREST, TOY STORY MANIA, SPLASH MOUNTAIN, SAFARI, etc. Trust me you will be glad you did.
10. Take a photo in front of every single park monument! CASTLE, CHINESE THEATRE, TREE OF LIFE, EPCOT. Trust me you'll thank me later!
