Magic Kingdom Park

Get to the park at least 30 minutes before it opens. You'll have a chance to jump on popular rides like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train with shorter lines before the crowds roll in

My advice is to prioritize the rides but also schedule in some downtime. We were exhausted from rushing around, so don’t forget to enjoy parades and shows too!

Plan your dining reservations in advance. Some of the more popular table-service restaurants book up fast, and I regretted not planning ahead and missing out on a few spots!

Consider packing your own snacks. I saved a bunch by bringing snacks from home instead of buying food in the park, which can get pricey really fast!
Disnis Hollywood Studios

I think the afternoon parade is a must-see, but if you want a good spot, get there at least 30 minutes early to grab a decent view.
My advice is to download the Disney app before you go. It’s super helpful for checking ride wait times, finding restrooms, and viewing showtimes. Made my day so much easier!

Get to the park right when it opens at 9 AM! I did this and the lines for popular rides like Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance were way shorter. Trust me, it makes a huge difference.

Consider packing your own snacks. The food inside the park can get pretty pricey and the quality doesn't always match the price. I brought some granola bars and saved a bunch!
Seaworld Orlando

Plan your visit on a weekday, especially Tuesday to Thursday, if you can. The park was way less crowded, and we barely waited for rides compared to weekends.

Don't skip the animal shows, especially the Orca Encounter. I didn’t think I’d be so fascinated, but it was incredible! Get there 15 minutes early to snag a decent seat.

If you're planning to eat in the park, consider meal deals or dining plans. They save you money in the long run, and you'll have more options without breaking the bank

I found that the 'Quick Queue' pass was totally worth it for the popular rides. It saved us hours compared to standby lines, but be sure to check which rides it covers first.
Islands of Adventure

My advice is to use the Universal app. It helped me find wait times for rides and showtimes for attractions, saving me a ton of time during the day.

One thing I learned the hard way is to plan your dining ahead. Sit down restaurants can be packed during peak hours, so try to make reservations or eat early to avoid a long wait.

Don't skip the shows! They were surprisingly entertaining and give you a nice break from all the rides. The Sinbad show is a must-see, trust me!
Busch Gardens

I suggest bringing your own snacks or lunch. The food inside is pricey, and I found some great shaded spots to munch on my sandwiches.

I recommend getting to the park right before it opens at 10 AM. The first hour is great for hitting popular rides like SheiKra without long waits!

I think it's worth buying the quick queue pass if you're planning on hitting a lot of rides—it saved me so much time! Just don’t buy it last min, I learned that the hard way.

Do NOT underestimate the heat! I thought I'd be fine, but the sun can be brutal. Bring a refillable water bottle and fill it at the many stations around the park.
Old Town

I suggest taking advantage of the free parking. Arrive a little before the official opening time and park close to the entrance to save yourself a walk later.

My advice is to wear comfy shoes. You'll be walking around a lot, and trust me, blisters are not the way to end your fun day!

I think grabbing a bite at the food trucks instead of sit-down restaurants can save you money and time. The food is just as good and way quicker

Best way to save some cash is to check for local coupons or discounts online before your visit. I saved a ton with a promo code I found!
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

Consider buying a park-to-park ticket. It’s totally worth it since you’ll want to ride the Hogwarts Express! I thought it was a highlight of the whole experience.

I suggest eating during off-peak hours, like 2:00 pm for lunch. It meant way shorter lines and more available tables. Plus, the food was fresher!

Explore the shops before buying anything. I ended up finding some cool merch at the back of the stores that wasn’t visible up front. It’s like a hidden treasure hunt!

I found that arriving at the park by 8:00 am helped us beat the crowds. The first few hours were way less hectic and we got to enjoy popular rides without waiting ages.
Gatorland

If you're planning to grab lunch at the park, consider packing your own snacks. The food options are decent, but a bit pricey for what you get.

Get the Gatorland VIP package if you can swing it. It’s a bit pricier, but it includes some fun extras like animal encounters that really made my visit special.

I suggest taking the time to explore the less crowded areas of the park. Some of the animal exhibits are really neat, and you may get to see some cool interactions without feeling rushed.
I recommend arriving right when the park opens at 10 AM. You’ll beat the crowds for the main attractions and have a better chance to snag some awesome pics without too many people in the background
Epcot
Don't forget to bring refillable water bottles – or grab them at quick-service spots. I spent extra on bottled water and realized later that water fountains are everywhere!

If you're planning to eat in the park, I suggest making reservations early. We waited way too long for a table at a restaurant. I found out later that some places fill up fast, especially during busy times.

Try to catch the nighttime show, Harmonious. It's a beautiful display! But get a good spot at least 30 minutes before it starts. We got stuck behind people, and the view was kinda blocked.

I think you should make a list of the attractions you really want to see. We wasted a bit of time wandering around. Having a game plan can help you hit all the highlights without feeling rushed.
Discovery Cove

I suggest checking out the animal encounters early in the day. I waited too long, and the slots filled up fast. You don’t want to miss that.

If you can, book your visit during the week instead of the weekend. It’s usually less crowded, and you'll have a way better time.

Make sure to explore the lazy river! It’s such a relaxing way to spend time and you can bring drinks along. Don’t skip it!

I think buying a photo package can save you some cash if you're planning to do multiple experiences. It’s better than buying individual pics later.
