Tips & Warnings

• For information about the Disney Cruise Line, call (800) WDW-CRUISE.
• For a one-day, one-park pass for a family of four (two adults and two children three to nine years of age), expect to pay about $230. You will save money in the long run if you buy passes that allow you entrance to more than one park for more than one day. Explore the Web site for options.
• Read as much as you can about Walt Disney World before making your plans. Guidebooks provide great tips and advice for making the most of your days in the park.
• Although Disney World is open all year, be sure to check for weather warnings during the fall hurricane season.
• Be sure to bring along your own film, sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellant and hats. These items are notoriously expensive inside the park.
