If you wanna learn how to navigate Disney World like a pro, you’re in luck!
Big Thunder Mountain in Disney World
We love bringing you the latest Disney tips, from navigating the newest tech to clueing you in on how to get on rides with a shorter wait (and without FastPass!). And today, we’re telling you ALL about the Disney rules you won’t see written down anywhere. They’re unofficial tricks that experts know — and now, you’re gonna know them, too! Let’s get started.
Walt Disney World reopened in 2020 with some major adjustments due to additional health and safety needs. We’ve slowly seen hotels and restaurants reopen and ticket options come back but one of the missing perks that we have yet to hear an update on is a possible return of FastPass+.
Pandora is just so breathtaking! Good thing the lines for rides keep you there for hours 😉
Even with a reduced Disney Parks capacity, it can still be a challenge to ride some of the most popular rides. FastPass+ was a major perk for park guests in tackling some of these big-name attractions. Just to name a few there’s Flight of Passage, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Slinky Dog Dash, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, Test Track, and Rise of the Resistance (though that’s a whole other ballgame we’ll get to in a bit!). If crowds are close to capacity, you can be stuck having to wait 60+ minutes in the socially distanced line with no option to skip the line. But, we’re here to tell you that it definitely is possible to ride ALL of these without a FastPass+. So, before you panic, just hear us out.
Walt Disney World is TRULY a magical place. It almost seems like you can snap your fingers, and a magical moment will occur around you.
Cinderella Castle
Well, technically there are TONS of magical moments happening all around you constantly, thanks to a lovely little thing known as Guest Services.
Walt Disney World is basically its own city complete with 4 theme parks, 2 water parks, 1 massive outdoor shopping district, and over 25 resorts. (Oh and did we mention they actually have their own city government, including emergency systems? But that’s another story altogether.) Needless to say, it’s good to know as much as possible before you visit!
