WALT DISNEY WORLD

WALT DISNEY WORLD

I have beren to Wallt Disney World twice. Once with my Grandparents and the other with my ex-husband. Both times I saw something different. I went on a cou-ple of rides with both. My favorite thing was seeing the people dressed up in the cartoon characters. My favorite characters back then were MICKEY MOUSE AND THE TWO CHIPMUNKS (CHIP AND DALE). I was a little disappointed because The Epcot Center was not open both times I was there. I would like to go back there just to see Epcot.

Walt Disney himself was born in 1901 and had died in 1966. This was before he could see his dream come true. His brother Roy Disney made all this happen in memory if his brother.

Disney World is so large that it would take you a couple of days to see the whole park.

They have rain storms in Florida that last about only 10 minutes. Then the rain stops.

They only close the rides down if the weather is too severe.

There are also some people that are rude and crabby. The thing to do is just to ignore them and try not to let them ruin your vacation.

With the weather being so hot at times it's best that you take a break during the day whether you sit in the shade, sit in an air conditioned place, go back to your hotel room, and come back later when it's not so hot. You could also visit one of the water parks.

The best time to go down to Disney World is during the months of November through April; that is when the weather is much milder. If you like it hot, the time to go down there would be from the months of May through October.

Food and drink can be costly so it would be wise to bring your own.

Liquor is not allowed in the park anywhere. If you are caught with it you will be removed from the park. They have certain rules you must follow while you are in the park. You must be at a certain height to ride the rides. If you are pregnant you can't go on the rides if you have heart trouble, you are not allowed on the rides either.

If you buy certain souvenirs, be aware because some of them are not allowed on the plane for carry on baggage. They have to be packed in your regular luggage. Or you can have them sent to your home for a charge.

The Mickey dolls are the most popular. Instead of carrying them around with you all day, you can them to package pick-up until you are ready to leave the park.

If you stay at any of the resorts check to see which could be the most value for money.

The least expensive time to go to the park is Januray through mid February. The most expensive is during the holiday season. The prices range anywhere from $82.00 a night to $160.00 per night. If you are a camper you can stay at (Fort Wilderness) for as little as $43.00 per night.

Walt Disney World is a safe area but, in order for your child not to get lost or if your child should get lost it is best to put your childs first and last name on a 3 by 5 card. So in case your child should get separated from you this will make it faster for them to find them faster.

During the warmer weather they suggest that you wear light clothing as to not get over heated. And the also suggest to wear a light jacket as sometimes it does get cool at night.

If you child is not tall enough to go on the ride they have a policy that one adult wants to go on the ride they can go. And, when the ride is through the other adult can go on the ride without having to stand in the line. This is called (Rider Swap)

When it comes to water safety use your common sense. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CHILD UNATTENDED, DO NOT LET THEM RUN ON WET CEMENT, ETC.

For animal safety use your judgment.

If you have traveled with a pet do not leave them in the car. Put in a kennel that isn't as hot as your car or leave the pet in your room.
