Top Tip Tuesday Tip #10 - make it a land and sea vacation! If you have a cruise booked add a few days before hand to visit the parks, you always need to fly in at least a day early so you might as well arrive earlier and do the theme parks first!
And if you have a Disney World vacation booked, add a shorter cruise to the end of your trip and get some much needed R&R after busy park days. You will be so glad that you did!

In the coming weeks, Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort will begin piloting a new service providing expedited entry to theme park attractions: Lightning Lane Premier Pass.

Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be offered in very limited quantities and will give guests one-time entry to each available Lightning Lane entrance in the theme park they are visiting that day. This includes attractions included in both Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass, but with Lightning Lane Premier Pass, guests do not need to select an experience time. Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be a premium offering, and prices will vary based on the date and theme park guests are visiting.

Coming Oct 23 at and Oct 30

Top Tip Tuesday - Tip #9 Stay Hydrated!
It can be a lot hotter than what you are used to in Disney.

Bring a refillable water bottle and you can get free filtered ice water at any quick service dining locations. There are also some water filling stations available.

You can add electrolytes to your water to help keep you hydrated.

Top Tip Tuesday - Tip #7 Park Bag
Be prepared with your day bag - bring the essentials but don’t over pack! The bag gets heavier as the day goes on.
1. Make sure that you have a bag that you like and that is comfortable - you will be wearing it all day. I also suggest if kids are old enough and able to have them carry a small back pack with their items in it. (my kids actually love this and all have loungefly bags)
2. My must haves:
a. refillable water bottle(s)
b. sunscreen (a must!)
c. Rain ponchos (if there is any chance of rain)
d. Tylenol/advil (just in case)
e. Any prescription medications needed
f. Baby supplies if you have little ones.
g. Portable chargers - you will need to use the app a lot and this will drain your battery!
h. Women - sanitary supplies if needed
i. Snacks for those hangry moments in line
j. Band Aids
k. ear plugs or noise cancelling headphones if desired.

Everyone will customize this list and add or take away items. Ziploc bags of various sizes often come in handy as well. And a light sweater if you are going at a time of year when it is cooler in the mornings/evenings.
Since we have neurodivergent children we also have them bring fidgets with them in their own bags.

What would you add to this list?

Top Tip Tuesday #6 - Strollers
* Depending on how much walking your child is use to you may need a stroller for Disney even if your child does not use one at home.
* There are rental companies (like scooterbug) where you can rent a stroller for the duration of your stay. Disney also has strollers available for daily rentals in the theme parks, however these can not leave the parks.
* If you are bringing your own stroller make sure it fits the dimensions allowed (78.74cm x 132cm) and know that Wagons or wagon like strollers are NOT permitted.
* Bring a rain cover - it is better to have one and not need it than not have one and need it!
*Use something like a shoe organizer (you can get one from the Dollar store) and attach to the handle to store miscellaneous items.
* Decorate your stroller - it can be hard to find in the large stroller parking areas (strollers can NOT go in lines), and Cast Members sometimes move the strollers around in order to make sure it stay organized.
* Bring a stroller fan to keep your child more comfortable in the heat.
* Strollers must be folded for buses and most boat transportation.

Better late than never!
Top Tip Tuesday - Tip #5 Wear Comfortable walking shoes.

An average day in the parks will result in over 10,000 steps and over 10KM! That is more steps than most of us are use to. Be sure to wear shoes that work for you. And remember in addition to all those steps you will be doing a lot of standing.
