So, you’ve purchased your discount ©Disney Ticket, freed up your schedule, packed up the kid’s stuff, and are ready to head to the land of the mouse. For most visitors, ©Disney is a magical land where humans make friends with cartoons, kids take charge, and happiness oozes out the ears of cast members. That being said, I bet you are looking forward to a fun-filled weekend of smiling faces and quality family time, right? Well, if you haven’t put any thought or planning into what you will do once you get to the park, you might be in for little more than three days of long lines, hot weather, and screaming kids.

Have no fear though. Your #1 discount ©Disney ticket retailer, Orlando Fun Tickets, is here to help! There are lots of small, easy things you add to your agenda to make your time extra magical.

First off, if you are staying in a ©Disney Hotel, start your day off right. Instead of using your cell phone for an alarm clock, order a wake up call from the hotel. Then, when it rings in the morning, put the call on speakerphone. That way your whole room can hear Mickey Mouse, or one of his friends, when he announces that it is time to get up. Be sure to set your Mickey wake up call early if you want to avoid lines in the mornings. Kids will love this!

Once you arrive at the park remember to write down where you parked the car. ©Disney parking lots are huge. This could save a lot of time and frustration at the end of the day!

Next, if you thought Mickey couldn’t get any friendlier, think again. Pal Mickey is a small, plush toy that acts as a guide to whichever ©Disney Park you are in. For $60 you can have up-to-the-minute news on park happenings. Pal Mickey will tell you about things like ride restrictions, when you are nearing a character, warn you about the scary witch in Snow White’s Adventures, and entertain you with games, giggles. And fun facts.

If you create a meeting spot for any time during the day, be sure to make it in an unpopular place. Cinderella Castle and the Space Ship Earth Attraction are usually bombarded with people.

To get the most out of your discount ©Disney ticket, pick up your fast passes early. This will ensure quick access to the most popular rides. The earlier you get them, the sooner you will be able to ride. Also, designate one person to hang on to everyone’s fast pass so that you don’t find one missing when it comes time to ride.

If you plan right, the wonderful world of ©Disney is a vacation haven, safe from deadlines and stress. Buy your discount ©Disney tickets from Orlando Fun Tickets and follow these guidelines, and your trip should be a whole lot smoother. ©
