Top Tips

1. Did you miss the rope drop? No problem. Disney’s Animal Kingdom has a secret entrance and it is right through the gift shop of the Rainforest Cafe. Not only does it save you time before your first ride of the day, but, it also makes it a less crowded way of entering the park. 

2. The best time to visit Pandora: The World of Avatar is at night. It is because everything is all lit up in vibrant colors just as it did in the 2009 film of the same name. 

3. If you want to find a way to cool off and have fun at the same time, try Kali River Rapids. This raft river ride attracts guests more during the summer months (depending on the weather) and it will keep you cool for the rest of the day. Just make sure you bring a spare pair of clothes with you because you will get soaked on this ride.

4. Don't pay for bottled water! All Disney Quick-Service restaurants offer FREE cups of water, as well as there being water fountains located around all Walt Disney World theme parks to fill up your water bottle.
