Your top WDW tip

[Cherinva]

My best tip is to be flexable.

I'm the planner in my family and I usually schedule our days...but I have found lately, that things happen...on the last trip, we had to change our schedule a couple of times due to rain....so be it. There was something that we just couldn't get done (because of the rain) so I'm going to try and do it this time.

My top tip is this:

Go with the expectation that the lines will be long, the weather not ideal, and the experience exhausting. That way, if that IS what happens, it won't seem so bad.

And if it's not, it will be just that much more magical.

With WDW, as with all things in life, your attitude and approach makes ALL the difference in your overal experience!

I agree that you need to be flexible and I think planning and preparation ahead of time makes being flexible much easier.

When I am on vacation I do not want to make a lot of decisions. I want to get all that stuff out of the way ahead of time. Then when something comes up that makes us stray from the original plan it is not a big deal to call an audible because I'm prepared and know what my options are.

It's been mentioned before but my main tip would be to do some pre-work. Read a guidebook or two. Determine what you really want to see. Create some plans that will help guide your trip. My nightmare scenario is cluelessy standing out in the scorching Florida sun trading "I don't know what do you want to do?'s with my wife while the kids complain. I find that it is just a more enjoyable experience all the way around when you've done your homework.
