"But what will EVERYONE do at Disney?" It's the #1 question I get as a travel agent specializing in Disney Destinations, and I love answering it! Let me show you why Walt Disney World truly is the most magical destination for ALL ages...

Little dreamers will find their joy in every corner of our four magical parks! With over 40 attractions without height requirements, your tiny adventurers can explore freely. Soar through Fantasyland on Peter Pan's Flight, journey Under the Sea with Ariel, and dance along with Mickey at Disney's PhilharMagic – no "you must be this tall" signs in sight!

Got tweens and teens who think they're "too cool" for Disney? Watch that attitude change when they become international super-sleuths in EPCOT's DuckTales World Showcase Adventure! Plus, with 15+ pulse-racing attractions across the parks, they'll be bragging about conquering Space Mountain, screaming down Summit Plummet, and facing the Yeti on Expedition Everest.

And adults? This is YOUR vacation too! When the sun sets, Disney's BoardWalk comes alive at Jellyrolls, where world-class dueling pianists take your requests and craft an unforgettable evening. Need pure relaxation? Escape to our luxury spas for a massage or facial that will make you forget you just walked 20,000 steps through the parks!

The real Disney magic? Watching grandparents, parents, teens, and little ones all find their own perfect moment. From first steps into Magic Kingdom to late-night laughs at Disney Springs, every age writes their own story.

UNIVERSAL ORLANDO SURVIVAL GUIDE: How to Conquer the Parks Like a Pro!

Your travel agent bestie here with the REAL tips you need to survive (and enjoy!) a full day at Universal Orlando!
👟 FEET FIRST: Your #1 Park Priority
Skip the cute shoes! Invest in ultra-cushioned footwear like OOFOS or HOKA
Pack backup socks - trust me on this!
Take advantage of air-conditioned shops for mini breaks (Three Broomsticks is perfect for this!)

🌡️ SUMMER SURVIVAL SECRETS
A portable fan is NOT optional - it's your best friend
Pack a poncho - Florida afternoon showers are basically scheduled entertainment
Hydrate before you're thirsty (get that Universal refillable cup - it pays for itself!)

⚡️ ENERGY MANAGEMENT 101
Start in Islands of Adventure, take a midday break at CityWalk
Use Hogwarts Express as your rest period between parks
Schedule sit-down attractions after walking periods (hint: Bourne Stuntacular = 20 min of blessed sitting!)

🎯 STRATEGIC BREAKS
Book a lunch reservation - guaranteed sitting time in AC
Book a 3 park ticket and visit Volcano Bay during hotter times of the day to get some exotic pool time
Universal Studios has more indoor attractions - perfect for afternoon cooling

💫 Pro Travel Agent Tip: Planning a summer visit? Let me help you arrange a mid-afternoon break at your hotel. A quick pool dip and power nap can turn you from park zombie to evening warrior!
