in this video you're gonna learn 10
0:01
essential tips that every adult visiting
0:04
Walt Disney World in Florida really
0:06
needs to know in order to have a
0:08
fantastic trip and get the most of
0:10
everything that Walt Disney World has to
0:13
offer
0:14
hi I'm Gary Bembridge of to cetera well
0:16
does the World Resort has a lot to offer
0:19
there's so much to do so let me talk a
0:20
little bit about what's available so
0:22
first of all you've got Magic Kingdom
0:24
Magic Kingdom opened in 1971
0:26
it's the classic park its icon is a
0:29
Cinderella Castle in my view it's a
0:31
little bit dated now it's very much for
0:33
smaller kids and probably solis adults
0:35
of all of the parks however it is the
0:38
classic is these real icon of Disney
0:40
World so you might decide that this is a
0:42
park you want to go the second part is
0:44
Epcot that opened it in 1982 and
0:46
basically what F Codd does Epcot
0:48
celebrates human achievement both in
0:50
terms of Technology and culture and this
0:53
is a really good park for adults because
0:56
it is a whole mixture of some really
0:58
good rides and also has the World
1:00
Showcase which showcases a whole range
1:02
of different countries their food their
1:03
culture and their drinks
1:05
the third park is Disney Hollywood
1:07
studios that opened in 1989 it's now
1:10
very much focused on Star Wars Toy Story
1:13
but lots of other links to various
1:15
television shows and movies and the
1:18
fourth park is Disney Animal Kingdom
1:20
Disney Animal Kingdom opened in 1998 as
1:24
its name suggests it really focuses on
1:26
animals and all conservation it's kind
1:29
of like a mixture between a zoo a safari
1:32
park and a theme park Disney also has
1:35
two water parks Typhoon Lagoon and
1:39
Blizzard Beach then there's Disney
1:40
Springs which is a big entertainment
1:41
dining and shopping complex now if you
1:44
were to spend time at all of those you
1:46
would easily spend a day at each so you
1:48
could easily spend a whole week just
1:50
going to the Disney parks not seeing
1:52
anything else in Orlando so if you don't
1:54
have to travel with young kids who you
1:56
not linked to school holidays when is
1:59
the best time to go always focus on
2:01
going on weekdays avoid the weekends
2:03
because they become very popular for
2:04
weekend tripperz or even locals and
2:06
avoid any week that has
2:09
public holiday or you know her school
2:11
holidays a particularly focus on of
2:13
course the United States but bear in
2:14
mind a lot of people come from around
2:16
the world so when are the best times to
2:18
go as an adults mid-january to mid
2:20
February March is pretty good but watch
2:22
out once you head into April because you
2:24
have spring break you every Easter break
2:26
May and June are pretty good times
2:27
October November and early December are
2:30
also pretty good times it going to
2:32
Disney is not an inexpensive activity
2:34
ticket to get into each parks going to
2:36
cost you around about 130 US dollars per
2:40
person per day you are driving to the
2:43
park it's going to cost you at least
2:44
twenty dollars to park was once you're
2:47
in the park you're will the food and the
2:48
drink and purchase is on top of that now
2:50
the great news is there are lots of
2:52
packages and deals now these tend to
2:54
differ a little bit on country so when
2:55
you go to the Disney site in your
2:58
particular country you'll be served up
3:00
various offers and deals so for example
3:02
in the US it's much easier to buy single
3:04
day passes or two or three or four day
3:06
passes if you're coming from say the UK
3:08
for example you'll find there's much
3:10
more packages linked to family tickets
3:12
often around seven day or fourteen day
3:15
packages now if for example you're
3:17
adults and you just want to buy
3:18
individual tickets or shorter tickets
3:20
one of the things you do is go to the
3:21
u.s. site so if your default site comes
3:24
up you can sometimes change the country
3:26
and visit the Disney Us site which is
3:29
what I did
3:30
where I could buy actually a ticket for
3:32
all four parks but only costs the price
3:34
of going to three parks now what's also
3:37
important is unlike say Universal is the
3:40
price of your ticket includes three fast
3:42
passes so it gives you the chance to
3:44
avoid the long lines and get to right to
3:47
the front of the queue so every single
3:49
ticket includes those fast passes the
3:52
next step I have is a very very
3:54
important one way before you go part by
3:56
part by park look at the rides and put
3:59
them in order of priority that you want
4:01
to write some of the rides that I would
4:02
recommend are the following so the Magic
4:05
Kingdom I would recommend Splash
4:07
Mountain there's a Seven Dwarfs Mine
4:10
Train which is really good fun Big
4:12
Thunder Mountain Railroad which is a
4:13
real Disney classic and Epcot soren
4:16
which is a fantastic visual effects
4:19
mission space you have two versions of
4:20
that test
4:21
tract we use zoom out in a car and doing
4:24
the whole world showcase where you go
4:26
around all those different countries and
4:28
Disney Hollywood studios this is
4:30
changing a lot but there's lots of Star
4:32
Wars rights so you have Star Wars tours
4:35
from 2019 you've got the whole mass of
4:37
big Star Wars Galaxies area there's a
4:40
Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and then
4:43
you have the Rock and Roll coaster
4:45
starring Aerosmith and then there's the
4:47
classic Indiana Jones epic stunt
4:49
spectacular Disney Animal Kingdom
4:51
pandora is so popular they have the
4:54
Nervii River journey and the real and
4:58
most popular art of all which gets big
5:00
waiting times is the avatar flight of
5:02
passage
5:03
there's the Expedition Everest which is
5:05
a crazy roller coaster you have the
5:07
Karly water Rapids and very highly
5:09
recommended is the Kilimanjaro Safari
5:11
which is where you get a chance to see
5:14
lions you'll see elephants you'll see
5:16
zebra now it's very important that you
5:19
decide for each Park which ride you want
5:21
to do and the order that you do them to
5:24
make sure that you focus on doing those
5:26
rides you really want to do it and you
5:27
do not leave the park disappointed sadly
5:30
it's on to my next tip how do you get
5:31
the most of your day in each of the
5:33
parks and how do you make sure that you
5:35
get to ride those rights that you
5:36
absolutely want to do does take some
5:39
planning and here's what you do when you
5:42
decide which park to go to on which day
5:44
that you're there take a look at the
5:45
opening hours now any day that has the
5:48
early opening the magic hours or the
5:50
late closing how would actually
5:52
recommend you avoid going to the park on
5:53
those days because everyone that's
5:55
staying at Disney properties heads there
5:57
on that day and those parks are
5:59
manically busy stay away because you
6:01
will find the parks are just crazy busy
6:03
and it's really really hard to get on
6:05
the rides on those days so pick your
6:07
days very carefully about which days you
6:09
go if you're saying Disney property two
6:12
months before you go but if you're not
6:13
staying in the Disney property one month
6:15
before you go you need to make sure that
6:17
you've bought your Park tickets because
6:19
if you say no Disney property two months
6:21
before 60 days before you can access the
6:23
Fast Pass system if you're not saying
6:25
Disney property it's 30 days before now
6:27
everyone that has a Disney park ticket
6:29
can choose three fast passes in advance
6:32
once they've used all three on the day
6:34
they can start selecting
6:35
more than but you want to get in as
6:38
early as possible and start sign up for
6:41
fast passes now there's popular eyes
6:42
that are spoken about
6:43
they will be chosen very very quickly if
6:46
you don't have a fast pass you can have
6:47
to join the queue and sometimes accurate
6:49
busy times can be two hours long for
6:51
some of the really popular rides get
6:52
into the fast bus system as soon as you
6:54
pass it began with that list of rides
6:56
and basically make sure you lock down
6:58
fast pause for those rides so having
7:01
done all that before you head to Walt
7:03
Disney World
7:03
how do you make the most of your day
7:06
actually in each park first of all make
7:09
sure you have the app on your phone make
7:10
sure you have your smartphone with you
7:12
but make sure that you get to the parks
7:14
early so before what's known as rope
7:16
drop you need to be there way before
7:18
9:00 a.m. in the morning as you head
7:20
into the park make sure you grab the map
7:22
and also there's a leaflet which will
7:24
have that particular days times for
7:26
things like the parade shows anything
7:28
that are closed or changes so you know
7:30
exactly what is happening that day so
7:31
you might have to adjust your plans when
7:33
the rope drop happens then make your way
7:35
as fast as possible to the number one
7:38
ride on your list because you'll be
7:40
there right at the very beginning you
7:42
should get on that ride at least once
7:43
make a beeline for the second rider and
7:46
the third ride so hopefully by 10
7:47
o'clock or help us 10:00 you've done the
7:49
three big rides that you want to do and
7:52
then you can basically head back look at
7:54
your fast passes that they do rights
7:56
again or change your plans the other
7:58
thing to do is of course keep looking at
8:00
the app keep an eye on wait times and
8:03
find what's busy and not busy and keep
8:05
adapting what you do as you look at the
8:06
other eyes bear in mind that most people
8:09
eat lunch around 12 o'clock 1 o'clock
8:11
they'll be very busy a lot of people if
8:13
it's a Magic Kingdom or watch the parade
8:15
at 3 o'clock so those are good times to
8:17
think about you know doing rides but I
8:20
also recommend you do in terms of dining
8:22
is a lot of people like to book these
8:23
sit-down restaurants for the whole
8:24
experience I had to recommend you don't
8:26
do that and go for the easy dining
8:28
option probably because it's quicker but
8:30
also the great thing about that is on
8:31
the app you can order the food in
8:33
advance so you can decide what food you
8:34
want and when you're either at the
8:36
restaurant or you're ready to eat you
8:38
basically there's a little button you
8:40
push on the app which is like I'm ready
8:42
for my food right now they didn't
8:43
prepare it and bring it out so you can
8:44
wait
8:45
you know minutes before the food comes
8:47
out it means you don't have to line up
8:48
with everybody
8:48
to place your order it's just much more
8:51
efficient another great tip for making
8:52
the most of your day is any ride that
8:54
has a solo rider or a single rider
8:57
option take that option it if you don't
9:00
mind you know you quite happen to not
9:01
necessarily gone rides with your friends
9:03
or partner or whatever you're traveling
9:05
with because those lies are often quite
9:06
short because a lot of people of course
9:08
like to go on rides with who they're
9:09
traveling with so our next tip is around
9:11
what should you take into the park
9:12
it's Florida so it's hot and humid so
9:15
make sure you've got a hack sunscreen
9:17
sunglasses Florida is also prone to you
9:20
know bursts of rain which can often just
9:22
chuck down clear up so take one of those
9:25
plastic punches with you know really
9:26
handy it's better than an umbrella and
9:28
also for some of those rides where they
9:30
either outside or you know you like to
9:32
get wet it's it's a real boon to have
9:34
you know one of those plastic ponchos
9:36
take a water bottle with you and you can
9:39
keep filling it up and stay hydrated of
9:41
course make sure that you've either if
9:42
you distain Disney property you've got
9:43
your Magic Band on we've got cash and
9:45
credit cards to you know buy things for
9:47
lunch or buy merchandise because you're
9:50
gonna be lying on your smartphone so
9:51
much to manage the day make sure that
9:54
you've either got an extra charger for
9:56
your smartphone or also make sure that
9:58
you've brought along a charger so if you
10:00
do have to plug it in anywhere you can
10:01
plug it in there's lots of places you
10:02
can charge phones or if you struggling
10:04
go to get services and they can normally
10:05
help you charge phones the next time I
10:08
have is decidedly gonna stay on a Disney
10:10
property or not so what are the benefits
10:12
of staying on a Disney property well one
10:14
of them is that you get access to the
10:16
Fastpass way in advance did you get
10:18
transfers from the airport you can
10:20
extend a park hours you get free
10:22
transport to and from the park or so if
10:25
you're buying the park that can be
10:26
shipped direct to your hotel the
10:28
downsides are if you're traveling as an
10:30
adult it can be a more expensive option
10:32
because of course the rooms are designed
10:33
to really host families and also of
10:35
course you're more likely to have lots
10:37
of kids so if you're actually looking
10:38
for an adult break why not consider
10:40
actually staying off properties so for
10:41
example on International Drive
10:44
look for hotels which are perhaps more
10:46
business-focused or conference focus
10:48
you'll often get rooms much cheaper but
10:50
a lot of the hotels even those
10:52
conference hotels will include free
10:53
transport to all of the parks so I would
10:56
as an adult visiting Disney unless you
10:59
want to go for the holders and
11:00
experience consider staying off property
11:02
now my last tip is how do you get help
11:04
on the ghost the the actual app has lots
11:05
of help in there is a manned Twitter
11:08
account which is w DW today which is
11:11
there to help support everybody when the
11:13
Park Service you've got any questions
11:15
queries or problems use Twitter they
11:17
reply really quickly and provide great
11:19
support to have a successful trip to
11:21
Walt Disney World in Florida you need to
11:23
be prepared it takes a lot of planning
11:24
you know before you go you need to know
11:26
exactly which parks are going to you
11:28
need to know which days to go you need
11:30
to know which rise you want to do you
11:32
need to make sure you've got your fast
11:33
boss done as soon as you possibly can on
11:35
the day you need to make sure you've got
11:36
a plan of action to make sure you're
11:38
gonna do the things that you want to do
11:39
so planning and preparation is
11:41
incredibly important so don't
11:43
underestimate it it's been as much time
11:45
as you possibly can researching and
11:46
planning if you just pitch up on the day
11:49
at some sort of park and hope to see
11:51
stuff you're probably going to be
11:52
disappointed so planning a preparation
11:54
is absolutely key what does the world in
11:57
Florida there is so much to do there are
12:00
those four parks there's the Disney
12:03
Springs there's two water parks enormous
12:05
amount to do a lot for adults to do if
12:08
you are focused and plan exactly what
12:11
you want to do hopefully this video has
12:13
helped you do that and if it did and you
12:15
thought a health and I'd love it if you
12:16
gave it a like thumbs up but very
12:18
importantly please subscribe to tips of
