Start With a Hearty Breakfast Outside The Park
If you want to truly maximize your Disney World experience, start with a hearty breakfast outside the park. I can't stress this enough. Not only does it ensure you have the energy reserves for a full day of fun and walking, but it also means you won’t have to spend precious time queuing for food inside the park. And hey, it's a sneaky way to save some bucks too.
Remember, food inside Disney World can be on the pricier side. So, indulge in a power-packed breakfast, maybe even throw in some protein bars in your backpack, and you’re all set. Dive straight into the fun and magic, without those pesky hunger pangs!

Buy Your Tickets Online and Download the App
The best way to maximize your time at Disney World is to buy your tickets online. This lets you skip the line outside the park and walk right in. Well, yes, you have to wait in another line to get into the park even with tickets, but it cuts down on the number of lines you're waiting in. Download the My Disney Experience App because it's a great way to check wait times and plan out your destinations.
