Ten Amazing Walt Disney World Freebies

A Disney vacation is an investment and while there is a perfect vacation package for every guest and every budget, it can be nice to get a couple of freebies. Just like no one does an immersive, unique vacation experience like Disney, no one does freebies quite like Disney. Here are ten of MousePros Agent Susan Pitzer's favorite freebies (in no particular order) that guests can take advantage of throughout the Walt Disney World® Resort! 1.

Ask the MousePros Agents: What's Your Favorite Way to Spend a Rainy Day

Depending on the time of year that you travel to Walt Disney World or Disneyland, you may need to prepare for a rainy afternoon or day during your visit. Two years in a row, my family has traveled in April and had our Animal Kingdom day cut short both years because of rain. That is not a fun park to be in when it rains. Most of the rides shut down and everyone makes a beeline for Finding Nemo The Musical and DINOSAUR. While I wouldn't recommend visiting Animal Kingdom on a ra

Ask the MousePros Agents: Our Favorite Attractions

I'll never forget taking my older son to Walt Disney World® for the first time and the huge smile on his face after going on Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin for the first time. We must have gone on that ride at least 10 more times that trip because he was so excited to help defeat the evil Emperor Zurg after having spent months watching Toy Story and Toy Story 2 on repeat. It was so much fun for my husband and me to see him experience his favorite movie in a whole new way.

MagicBands 101

I remember our last trip to Walt Disney World® before MagicBands. We had plastic cards that we used to open our resort door and get into the parks. We also had to carry with us our credit card to pay for food and souvenirs in the parks. I remember telling my husband that I'd heard a rumor about these bands that Walt Disney World® was going to start asking guests to wear that could get you in to the park, open your resort room door, and be your credit card. It sounded magical!

Ask the MousePros Agents: First Trip Recommendations

My first trip to Walt Disney World® as the Person-in-Charge was in 2012. We booked two nights at Disney's Beach Club® Resort in the middle of March. We made made multiple dining reservations, upgraded to Park Hopper passes, and generally planned to live it up for three days. I had snacks, water bottles, extra clothes for the almost-four-year-old...I thought I was prepared for everything. What I wasn't prepared for was how the pace would exhaust him (and us!) and how overstimu
