The first of our Walt Disney World Tips is to carefully choose time of year when you will vacation. Take into consideration if it is tourist season as you will avoid a lot of crowds if you visit off-season. You also might want to avoid summer months as Florida weather can get very uncomfortable. Lastly, research park's schedules for different times of year because parks in Walt Disney World Resort tend to stay open later during various months.

Rise and Shine

Set your alarm and get to park early. Arriving at water parks before noon is a great way to avoid crowds. Also, Animal Kingdom closes early so arriving in morning will give you plenty of time to relax and look around. If you want to have breakfast in Magic Kingdom then get there early and head for either Crystal Palace or Cinderella's Royal Table. Both are located on Main Street USA, which opens earlier than rest of The Magic Kingdom. When rest of park opens you will have quite a headstart on other visitors who will still have to buy tickets to get in park.

Are you off to a vacation adventure this summer? Have you ever kept a travel journal?

A travel journal is where you write about your personal, family and/or business travels. It can be a separate journal where you record your experiences, details, and even your feelings about your travels, creating a written record of each trip. You can also record your travels, if you already journal, in your existing journal. Just indicate that this is a record of your travels -- That can be accomplished by using a separate color of pen.

You can record…

Your feelings and experiences.

All locations you visited. You can include a map or draw a map.

The miles and time to travel from location to location.

Who you were with.

Who you met.

What you wore.

Would you go back? Why? What do you want to see?

Where you stayed? You can keep address, phone numbers, names, etc.
