Saving Mom Time and Money Everywhere!!

Disney World is a magical place but there’s nothing magical about the long lines you can experience waiting for rides and attractions. Read on to learn the steps you can take to avoid long lines at Disney World.

Plan your trip for a less busy time of year.

Disney World doesn’t really have an “off season” but crowds will be much larger during the times when kids are traditionally off of school – Spring Break, the Summer months, and during the holiday season. If you can avoid these peak times you will have the advantage of less crowded parks.

Stay on the property.

Walt Disney World ticket holders who also stay at one of the Walt Disney World resorts get the benefit of extended park hours at no additional cost. Since extended hours are not available to ticket holders staying off the property, the crowds will be smaller and the lines will be shorter during those extended hours.

Eat your meals during non-meal times.

If you can ride when everyone else is eating and eat when everyone else is riding, you will experience shorter lines at both restaurants and at rides/attractions.

Use the Fast Pass option.

At popular rides and attractions Disney World offers a Fast Pass option, which can reduce your wait time significantly. A Fast Pass ticket can be obtained by entering your park ticket into the Fast Pass machine in front of the ride or attraction. The Fast Pass ticket will tell you what time to return to enter the Fast Pass line.

Think left, not right.

If you’re entering the park at the beginning of the day, chances are you’re entering with hundreds of other park guests. The natural inclination is to head to the right. You may experience shorter lines during the morning hours if you buck the trend and head left instead.
