3 things you can do before your Disney World trip to make your one-day trip extra magical

Walt Disney World Resort is a beautiful magical place located in Orlando Florida and there is something for every age group even if you are not a huge Disney fan. Given the size of this park and the amazing attractions, it would be ideal to spend few days in the Disney World Park to get the best out of it in your own pace. However, if time is a constraint, Park Hopper option is a good choice to get the best out of it. This option gives same-day admission to all four theme parks; Disney Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studio, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

Even if you have a very limited number of hours to spend in this park, you can manage your time, plan ahead, and get the best out of your trip with the Park Hopping Option.If you are a first-time visitor, or have not visited this magical land for a while, here are some of the things you can do before the magical day to have an amazing time with beautiful memories.

1. Planning where you will be staying

Living in the Disney resort would be expensive. However, it comes with added benefits that you might actually want to consider before deciding where you want to stay. Some of the benefits include extra magic hours, get first access to fast pass+, and free magic bands. Extra magic hours give those who stay in select Disney resorts, the chance to enjoy extra time in the Parks before the parks open and after parks close.

However, if you have decided to stay out of the resort and have a Park Hopping Option, you can still get a hotel close to the Disney Park, plan ahead and get the best out of it.

Fast pass+, and magic bands take me to my next to do things in the list.

2. Book your tickets early and reserve Fast Passes.

When you book your ticket in advance, you will get the chance to reserve 3 selected attractions and shows 30 days in advance, unless you are living in the Disney resorts which would give you the chance to book 60 days in advance.

These three rides/attractions you select have to be from a single park so it is important to find out what park and attractions you want to use these passes on. After you are done with your pre-booked fast passes you can add more fast passes on the day of your visit.

3.Get your Magic Bands and My Disney Experience profile ready

Magic band together with the My Disney Experience app would make your Disney experience smoother. If you have the magic band which is a colorful wrist band that uses the Radio Frequency technology, you can avoid fumbling through your pockets every time you want to enter a different park, use your fast passes, buy food and merchandise, or enter your Disney hotel room.

If you are planning to buy the Disney Photo pass, magic band is an amazing tool as it will automatically add all your ride photos and the photos taken with Disney professional photographers into your account which will enable you to view them through your Disney Experience app. This app will let you connect your family and friends visiting the park with you together, making it easy to plan your trip for your whole group. 

These are some of the major things I recommend that you need to know or do before the tour to make your time at Disney World Resort memorable and smooth. Don't forget to stay for the FIREWORKS!
