How to avoid long lines at Disney or Universal?

Your vacation only last so long…. You don’t want to waste hours waiting in long lines for short rides. Here are a couple tips for you. First you will want to arrive to the park around 30-45 minutes before it opens, it will take 10-15 minutes for the parking lot shuttle to take you to the main gate. You will want to know which rides you want to ride before you get to the park. Look on a map and know where they are located and the shortest routes to get to them. By doing your home work you will be able to jump on the rides before most people arrive at the park. Another way to avoid the long lines is late in the evenings. The early bird may get the worm, but he’ll be tired and will turn in early. There is one other option for you. It’s called Fastpass. Please read my other post on Fastpass…

Visiting Walt Disney World’s Cinderella’s Castle

Cinderella's Castle

Visiting Walt Disney World as a child, I, like most little girls, was mesmerized by Cinderella’s Castle. I imagined what it would be like to live in a castle and I clearly remember walking through it/under it and being disappointed that you couldn’t go inside it. I wanted to walk through the rooms, see the forever-long dining room table, the throne that the king or queen would sit on… My mother broke the sad news- “You can’t actually go inside the castle. There’s nothing inside. It’s fake.”

If you ever want to break a little girl’s heart, telling her the amazing castle she has dreamed about from her favorite story ever, was not real is a really good way to do it. “That’s the whole reason people go to Disney World isn’t it?” That’s how I felt. Crushed would be a good way to describe my feelings.

Well, having learned to live with my bashed dream, I was astonished when I learned that you can go inside the castle. In fact, there is a restaurant inside. Formerly named King Stefan’s Banquet Hall, Cinderella’s Royal Table seats over 400 people and is the premiere place to meet and greet the Disney Princesses and Princes.

Now I learn that you can stay the night in Cinderella’s castle. It’s true. There is a small suite inside one of the towers where a family can stay the night. It was originally made as a place for the Disney family, but Roy Disney died before it was furnished. They turned it into the switchboard office and then eventually it became a changing room for cast members. In 2007, they turned it into an amazing castle suite where a lucky family can win a stay by entering into a Disney Dreams Giveaway or by being randomly selected from families visiting any Walt Disney World park. How exciting would that be?
