It's Summer. Which only means one thing. Everyone is going to Disneyland or Disney World. I mean, why not? Both parks are in really beautiful places, so it just makes sense. Seeing as I have been going to Disneyland my whole life (literally) and I worked at Disney World for 4 months, I know my way around the parks, even when it's annoyingly busy and you're about to lose your freakin' mind. So here are a few tips that you may or may not know, whether its your 1st or 100th time at a park.
1. Stores
There's 2 things you should utilize about stores. The first is a shortcut, or as I like to call it a "storecut." Almost every Disney park has stores that just go from the beginning of Main Street to the middle. Its a great way to get where you want and fast. The second option is to shop early. Disney can hold your purchases until the end of the day for free, or if you're on vacation, they can even have it shipped to your house or placed in your hotel room.
2. Free Water!
Every Quick Service in the parks have free ice water. All you have to do is ask for it and they'll give it to you. No purchase necessary! It's a great way to cool off especially in the hot California or Florida Summers. Just note, by default you will get kids size cup of it, if you would like a regular or large cup, just ask!
3. Go To The Shows!
Most of the shows at WDW or Disneyland are indoors and air conditioned. Not only that, they put a lot of work into these shows. They have been known to be Broadway quality. What show do I recommend? The Tiki Room. Its the only show that allows you to eat inside. Plus, watching birds sing while eating a Dole Whip sounds like the dream!
4. Downtown Disney/Disney Springs
If you've ever been to a Disney Park, you know the food is borderline overpriced. But there's a solution to that with a way to get out of the crowds. Both US parks have a shopping district with food and clothing. Some of the food in both are cheaper than the in-park food. I suggest Blaze Pizza if you are at Disney Springs and Earl of Sandwich if you are at Downtown Disney. Another plus is both have World of Disney stores that have a lot of the same merchandise as inside the parks, without the crowds.
5. Free Soda?
Yes! I think my favorite part about any of the parks is Club Cool at EPCOT. They have free Coca-Cola soda samples from all over the world. There's no limit to how many cups you are allowed, but be sure to watch out for parties who are trying Beverley for the first time, it might be quite a sight... I think you need to try all of them once, but my favorite is the Melon Frosty.
That's all I have for now, but as I think of more, I'll add more!
Until Next Time, Alex
