But I have to admit, I heard that advice a thousand times before I actually put it into practice. Once I did, I never looked back. The Way It Used To Be….Ahhh, Memories Before the mid 1990’s, and because I had been to Walt Disney World so many times, I never saw the need to get to the parks early.

For the first time Disney World visitor, transportation covering a massive 27,000 acres (roughly 42 square miles) can be daunting.

1. Sleep In. The best way to avoid lines and the (sometimes) oppressive Florida heat is to arrive at the park at least 30 minutes before the park opens. You can get so much done in the first few hours that the parks are open. 2. Or Go To Bed Early. I know. After waking up early to beat the crowds, going to bed early sounds great. But you’re on vacation. Sleeping is for lazy weekends at home. But if you must (and I admit, I must) get your sleep, be sure to plan for a few late nights.
