H - Home Magic

Ride POV = Instant Happiness!

Watching ride POVs on YouTube from home is seriously so fun! It’s a fun way to relive the magic (and cure some Disney blues) from the couch. Best part? No lines and no heat!

This is also a great way to prep your kiddos for the parks. You can show them various ride videos and you can also search things like “Magic Kingdom walk through” to show them the parks in general. They can get a feel for the noises and crowds.

We love bringing Disney magic into our home through these videos. It brings happiness and excitement for our next trip and we love feeling like we are there!

FAQ

A question I get asked a lot is “can I visit other resorts if I’m not staying there?”

Absolutely! You can visit any resort, walk around, eat at the restaurants, shop there. You can even fill up your refillable mug at another resort!

You will not be allowed to use a pool at a different resort and you won’t be allowed to park at a different resort without a dining reservation.

You can travel to another resort by taking a bus to a theme park and then taking the resort specific bus, or taking the monorail or skyliner.

If you are planning a rest day, visiting another resort would be a fun activity!

T - Tinkerbell Tips

Stroller Talk

On my last trip, I sat outside of Pirates for about 15-20 minutes and in that time frame, I watched probably 10 different people park their stroller across from the entrance to the ride (including someone who literally threw the stroller across the pathway and luckily didn’t hit anyone). The cast member was quickly grabbing these strollers and moving them to the proper stroller parking area. So it got me thinking…do people know and realize that there is designated stroller parking near the rides?!

There are designated stroller parking lots all over the parks! Look out for signs or cast members near the strollers. If you are unsure, ask a cast member!

🗒️ I created a post a few weeks back that gives a visual of the stroller parking areas which is a great save-able resource for you!

If your stroller is not parked in the stroller area, be prepared for it to be moved. Consider getting a name tag or putting a ribbon/bandana on your stroller to easily visualize it. The strollers will also be moved within the stroller parking area.

My biggest stroller tip would be - Don’t rent a stroller from the parks! These strollers are hard, have minimal storage, don’t recline, and have a small sunshade. These may do well with 4-5yr olds, but absolutely not a toddler/baby friendly stroller in my opinion. You also cannot leave the parks with these strollers meaning you are carrying your child (or they have to walk) to transportation and then again to your room when you get to the resort.

If you have any stroller questions, send them my way!
