EIGHT GREAT Tips for a Relaxing Disney Trip

When you think of a Disney vacation, images of thrilling rides, bustling parades, and crowded theme parks might come to mind. However, a trip to the happiest place on earth doesn’t have to be all hustle and bustle. With a bit of planning and a focus on relaxation, you can transform your Disney getaway into a serene retreat. Ok, “serene retreat” maybe stretching it a tad, but no one should need a vacation after getting home from vacation.

Are you tired of the crowds and long lines at Disney World? Are you looking for a more relaxed and nostalgic experience? Then it's time to go old school! Here are some tips for doing Disney World the old-fashioned way.

• Visit during the off-season

If you want to avoid the crowds, it's best to visit during the off-season. This typically means going in May or September, when the weather is cooler and kids are back in school or not out of school for the summer. Not only will you have shorter lines, but you'll also get to experience the park without the heat and humidity of summer. 

• Take advantage of the classic attractions

Disney World is known for its state-of-the-art rides and attractions, but don't forget about the classics. Take a ride on the Pirates of the Caribbean, the Haunted Mansion, or the It's a Small World ride. Don’t forget the People Mover, Carousel of Progress and the actual Carousel aka The Merry-Go-Round. These classic attractions are still just as fun as they were when they first opened.

I did not visit Disney World until I was in my late 20's. (Disneyland was my first). Here's a short story from my first trip to WDW.

Once upon a time, in the early 80's, we took our kiddos to Disney (tent camping at Ft Wilderness). The first night, it was raining so hard we could not put up our tent. We made an executive decision to abandon the campgrounds and opted for a Garden Wing room at The Contemporary. Could we afford it? Probably not. Did we enjoy ourselves? Our grown children talk about it to this day, and I have vivid memories of them jumping on the bed and asking if they could go to the pool.

I love old school.

Last night, at the “Field of Dreams” in Dyersville IA, baseball was old school.  I used to want things to change. I wanted the kiddos to learn to walk, I wanted them to start school, I wanted them to finish school… 

 But, now I want to slow down time… and “Old School” does that for me.  I almost cried when Kevin Costner walked thru the corn rows (and I’m not talking about a hairstyle) and shook the hands of the current White Sox and Yankees.  

 I did cry when Maddie Poppe sang the National Anthem. And I cried again as a pitcher who was 16 when “Field of Dreams” burst onto the baseball movie scene, spoke of playing catch with his dad.
