Disney World Secrets - The Ultimate Guide

Would you like  to learn the ultimate Disney World secrets to make sure you have  a very special Disney family vacation?

Walt Disney World is known as The Happiest Place on Earth - it is the ultimate place for a truly magical vacation.

There is so much information out there about Disney World and it can be confusing and overwhelming  - unless you have an experienced guide! 

Let me share some of the ultimate Disney World secrets and money saving  ideas to make sure that you are not just one of the crowd on your ultimate Walt Disney World vacation.



Spaceship Earth EPCOT

Walt Disney World Florida - Some Free Things To Do! 

Want to share the secrets of the great free things to do at Disney World Orlando?

EPCOT Spaceship Earth At Night

One of the greatest Disney World Vacation Secrets? Yes. There really are some fabulous free things to do at Walt Disney World!

Why not check out a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel?

The Disney World resort hotels are amazing places. My personal favorite is Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. Just hang out and people watch in one of the amazingly comfortable sofas in the lobby. Or view the animals on one of the savannas which surround the Animal Kingdom Lodge Hotel. You can see giraffe and zebra and even view the animals at night using night vision glasses!



A Walt Disney World Hotel Tour

Many of the resort hotels offer a free tour to those staying on Disney property. These little known tours include a tour of Animal Kingdom Lodge, Fort Wilderness and The Grand Floridian. Some require a reservation so ask at Guest Services. Free for all Disney resort guests.

Watch the Electrical Water Pageant

You can watch this Disney water parade for free. A little known parade which floats around the Magic Kingdom lagoon every night. You can watch it from The Grand Floridian, Contemporary, Polynesian, Wilderness and Fort Wilderness Resort.

Just hang out at The Boardwalk

A fabulous Coney Island themed area with restaurants, shops and the EPCOT resort hotels. Sit and relax on the beach around the lake and watch the world go by. Parking in the Boardwalk parking lot is free for up to 3 hours.

Visit Celebration

When Disney envisaged the EPCOT theme park he saw a futuristic place where people could live, work and play. The closest Disney ever got was the town of Celebration. Although many would say that Celebration is just another ordinary large community, it is a nice place to spend some time. Check out the lake side walks or take a tour of the Celebration Hotel. Have a traditional English cream tea at Sherlocks in the town square - unfortunately not free but worth a splurge.

Walt Disney World Ticket Secrets 

Which one is the right Disney World ticket for me?

EPCOT Spaceship Earth

The Disney World Magic Your Way ticket system can be a bit confusing! There are so many combinations to choose from and if you don't get it right you could be wasting a lot of money.

Here are some Disney World ticket tips and secrets.

1. Do you research. Think very carefully about how many days you are going to be in the Disney theme parks.

2. Decide if you want to buy a Disney Park Hopper option. This allows you to visit more than one park on the same day.

3. Do you want a non expiration option? All Disney World tickets expire 14 days after they are first used unless you buy a non expiration option. Want to know a Disney World ticket secret? Respected sources agree that most guests never use those unexpired days, so think very carefully about this one.

4. Only ever buy a Disney World ticket from Disney itself or a Disney authorized ticket agent. Do not fall for the Disney tickets scams - there are plenty out there.

Want a reliable source for your Disney World Tickets - always buy from an authorised dealer. Discount Disney World Tickets

Disney World Magic Kingdom Fireworks. 

Disney Wishes Fireworks

purple castle-1darkbarb

This will be a fabulous finale to your trip to Disney's Magic Kingdom. This fireworks display really shows Disney to be the leader in theme park entertainment. From Tinkerbell's daring flight to the amazing music and fireworks this truly is Disney at it's best.

The end of the fireworks means thousands of people leaving the park. All at the same time. Now remember that the only way to get back to the parking lot is either by boat or monorail. So if getting home quickly is important think about watching the fireworks from Main Street - so that you are ahead of the crowds. Then walk quickly, or if you still have the energy, run to the monorail or boat. Otherwise you may have a very long wait in line!
Another idea is to save your shopping until the end of the day. The Disney World Main Street stores will still be open ( and usually crowded) until well after park closing.

Magic Kingdom Wishes Fireworks 

One of the highlights of your trip will be the Disney Wishes fireworks at Magic Kingdom.

Backstage at Disney's Magic Kingdom 

The Keys To Disney's Magic Kingdom Secrets

Did you know that you can go on a tour behind the scenes at the Magic Kingdom?
A popular guided tour is Keys To The Kingdom. This $58 tour, lasting about five hours, shows you the operational secrets of the Magic Kingdom. View the utilidors ( the corridors and tunnels under the park) the parade assembly area and the waste treatment plant. Disney World park guests must be at least 16 years old and general admission is also required.
The Keys To The Kingdom Tour is well worth exploring - particularly those who have visited the Magic Kingdom before and want to know more about what goes on behind the scenes.

Disney World Project X 

Following the success but realizing the limitations, of Disneyland, Walt Disney set his sights to building a whole new Disney World. Starting around 1963 Walt started to send his team, including his brother Roy, to look for a location to build his dream. It was decided that Florida would be the perfect location. The search for land for Project X was over, but the buying process was clouded in secrecy.

Disney executives did not want to alert anyone that Disney was buying land. They knew the price would soon go up if the purchaser's identity was known. Disney set up many different companies to buy the land to disguise the buyer's true identity. One of those was Retlaw - Walter spelled backwards.

Walt Disney bought 27,443 acres for a little over $5 million. The price per acre was around $180. Speculation was rife as to who was buying all that land. Following Walt's press conference announcement the price of the surrounding land went to $80,000 per acre.
Project X was the ultimate Disney World secret!

Disney World Cinderella Castle Secrets 



Think of Disney World and you think of Cinderella's Castle. So what are some of it's secrets?
It is 189 feet tall but looks much larger. How do they do this? By using a technique known as forced perspective. This is where the Disney Imagineers play with scale in the real world to make things look bigger.
So the homes on Main Street are not actual size although they appear to be. Look closely and you will see that the stories get smaller as they go up. Having them actual size would make guests fell too enclosed. This trick of scale also helps make Cinderella's Castle look bigger. The bricks get smaller as you go up the castle, and the architectural details are all smaller than you expect. You have to look very very closely though to see the reality!

EPCOT Secrets 

Florida has great weather but of course it does rain sometimes! But Disney thinks of everything. They even build systems into their attractions to keep guests as comfortable as possible and avoid the elements.
Space Ship Earth, the giant geodesic dome which dominates EPCOT is fitted with a gutter system at the belt line of the sphere. This catches the rain water and funnels it into the World Showcase Lagoon. Those people at Disney really do think of everything!
