Walt Disney World Parks

Walt Disney World Parks are a vacationer's dream holiday, especially if you have children. What other place would you be able to explore a pirate's den, cavort with your favorite childhood cartoon characters, have a box lunch below a castle, or become a star in a old 50s movie. If this is your first time to the Disney resorts, you are likely to be overcome with the planning. The following are a few things to guide you as you visit the parks.

Disney World is crowded during off season and very crowded during the peak travel times like summer (school is out), Easter (spring break), and Christmas-New Years. You will be tripping over absolute strangers while you are visiting and probably run into a friend or two from home. There is good news where Disney has put into place crowd controls. For the more popular rides they have put into place a Fast Pass system to avert daylong lines. Lets say the line for Soarin is 1-2 hours, you are able to acquire a Fast Pass ticket, spend your time in another part of the park, then return to Soarin on the time stamped on your Fast Pass to get on your ride. So instead of waiting on the long line you were able to do other fun things.
