Thursday's Tip

Like most families, we treasure our vacation time at Walt Disney World. It's tempting to try to cram every last moment with non-stop fun and activity. Especially tempting when we all know that Park tickets get cheaper per day the more days you play. It's hard to argue with the logic that it's better to buy a 6-day ticket that's only $8 more than a 5-day ticket.

BUT may I offer a suggestion...or a Thursday's Tip? Take at least one day--preferably in the middle of your vacation week--away from the Parks. Swim in the pool, ride on a boat, tour a Resort or two, and get to bed early. It will energize and invigorate you. And it will help you enjoy the remainder of your vacation even more!

I am among the worst offenders for cramming too much in a day. But we almost always take a day off from the Parks to recuperate and rejuvenate. It gives our tired feet a bit of a rest and helps us strategize and prioritize for the remainder of our trip. There's so much to see and do outside the Parks that we never feel cheated for skipping a day inside. Give yourself a mid-vacation break, and your mind, body, and spirit will thank you.

  1. Oh, these are very wise words!! I completely agree with you. Our last two trips we had the go, go, go mentality and in the end, a day off in the middle would have been just the thing we needed. I hope your readers take your advice. I know I will the next time we go. Thanks for the reminder!
