This is a start of a seven week series of my tips for visiting Walt Disney World.

Walt Disney World General Tips 

First thing at the park: Get your Fast Pass for your must-ride ride at that Park. Always check the bottom for when you are allowed to request another Fast Pass. For instance, you may arrive at 9:00 am at Soarin’ in Epcot and get a Fast Pass for 5:00 pm. At the bottom of the Fast Pass it will indicate if you can get another Fast Pass before 5:00 pm. Also check the daily schedule for what shows you may want to see.
