When visiting Disney World during the Holidays you can expect people. Lots and Lots of people! While it may be busy and you might not be able to ride Space Mountain 20 times in a day there are some things you can do to make things a bit more manageable. Here are 110 Tips to Surviving Walt Disney World During The Holiday Week.
Transportation
- Use the Resort buses, boats or Monorails can help you avoid traffic and arrive at parks sooner. Busses begin departing from Disney resort hotels 45 minutes prior to the park opening and run two hours after park closing.
- If driving please plan for additional travel time as the roads will be packed!
- If you are staying at an on-property, don’t forget about Extra Magic Hours. They are a lifesaver especially if you have kids!
- Different parks offer Extra Magic Hours on different days, so check the calendar here for more. I recommend using Touring Plans!
Theme Parks
- Make sure to grab a Times Guide on your way into the park for the day’s showtimes, character greeting locations and more.
- Download the My Disney Experience app for your smartphone to access the latest attraction wait times, schedule FastPass+ options, check dining offerings and more.
- Magic Kingdom Park will offer an Extra Magic Hour from 7-8 a.m., daily, from Dec. 28-Jan. 1, 2015. Visiting the park for Rope Drop will help you get a jump start on your day.
- New Year’s fireworks spectaculars will be displayed at Magic Kingdom Park on both December 30 and 31. (Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios will join the celebration with displays on December 31 only). For a full list of New Years Eve fun check here.
Disney World Dining
- Use the My Disney Experience app, visit Guest Relations or call 407-WDW-CNCL to modify dining reservations.
- Consider eating meals at different times. Most people will be eating at 8am, Noon, and 6pm. So eat at off times to avoid the crowds.
