Magic Kingdom Park
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
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
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.
Bring a refillable water bottle. There are refill stations, and this saved me a ton of cash instead of buying bottled water all day!
Islands of Adventure
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 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.
If you can, go on a weekday. I visited on a Thursday and the crowds were way lighter than the weekends, making it easier to enjoy everything!
Old Town
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
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.
Bring a refillable water bottle! You can fill it for free at various stations, which is a money-saver compared to buying a drink every time.
Gatorland
Epcot
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.
I recommend getting to Epcot right when it opens at 9 AM. You'll beat the crowds for the popular rides like Soarin' and Test Track. Trust me, it's way more fun without the long wait!
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.
