Tips & Warnings

• Purchasing trip insurance for Disney is a good idea. If you are traveling with children, one of them (or another family member) could become ill at the last minute. Also, Orlando does occasionally have hurricanes.
• Consider going to other attractions in addition to Disney while you are in Orlando.
• Investigate Park Hopper Passes for your time at Disney World. Although they are far from cheap, they do offer a slight discount. Look on Disney's official site for this information.
• Be ware of buying Disney tickets from on line auction sites. There are some people who are ready to take your money without providing the promised goods.
• Avoid going to Disney World during the weeks surrounding Christmas or Easter. The parks are mobbed and extremely difficult to navigate. Of course, the lines are the longest at those times, too!
