Welcome to Disney World 101. No matter how much the kids beg, wait until they re 4 or 5 before visiting. If you must come sooner, invite grandma along. Make a list of must-see attractions in advance, and get input from everyone in the family so that everyone gets to see at least one of their favorite attractions each day. Don t be afraid to divide and conquer, with dad taking the youngest family members to the kiddie attractions while mom and the preteens brave the coasters and grandpa snoozes at the hotel pool.
Cell phones help a family keep in touch.
So do Motorola TalkAbout radios, some of which have built-in clocks and radios. No matter what your budget, you should find lodging within Disney World for your first trip there, especially if you plan to spend most of your time in the parks. You ll save hours of commuting time, and you can use Disney World s free transportation system, enabling you to get your exhausted little ones back to the hotel earlier. You won t have to lug around souvenirs, either. They ll be delivered free the next day.
