55 Essential Disney World Tips, Tricks, and Dad Hacks

So many of us grew up with the magic of Disney. It’s something that will live on in our hearts forever — no matter how old we get.

When you’re ready to share the joys of Disney with your little ones, be sure to adhere to these 55 tips and tricks to create the most magical moments.

1. Host a Few Disney Movie Nights

Before you go, hype the whole family up with a few different movie marathons. It makes meeting their favorite characters – as well as the classics like Donald Duck – all the more magical. 

2. Purchase an Autograph Book on Amazon

Having an autograph book on hand is a lot of fun as everyone meets their favorite Disney characters. Purchase one on Amazon before you go since they’ll be far more expensive at the park. 

3. Go For a Week

It’s possible to do Disney over a long weekend but, boy, will you feel rushed. A good rule of thumb is to spend four days at the parks – one day for each park – along with a day or two in between to lounge at the pool.

4. Stay In a Resort

When you stay in a Disney resort or a hotel with a partnership with the parks, you can gain access to a lot of helpful perks, including free shuttle services and early entry to the park.
