DISNEY experts have revealed their top tips when travelling to theme parks.
Working with TUI, many of the Disney pros have the dream job – by being paid to travel the world for free.
Erin, who was once TUI’s Disney Expert of the Year, previously shared some of her top tips.
Some of the experts have even worked for Mickey Mouse.
Millie from the homeworking team worked in Animal Kingdom in Orlando for over a year.
She says her work trips with TUI opened her eyes to an entirely different side of Florida.
She explained: “I experienced things I hadn’t ever tried before, and I wouldn’t be able to help customers with their trips as well if I hadn’t gone with work.
“We got to truly experience every type of attraction, food, mode of transport and hotel. It was invaluable.”
The time of year means spooky season is looming, and Halloween decorations will be found across the parks, as well as Epcot’s food and wine festival.
The weather also tends to be cooler, and the parks are generally less crowded.
Make sure to avoid the main resorts at the weekend though – opt for the waterpark or Disney Springs shopping on Saturdays instead.
Another queue avoiding tip? Head to the rides when the parade or fireworks are on, if you have already seen them, and you will easily get on the rides.
The animals are always more active in the morning, so its the time of day to visit.
And if you grab an early dining reservation for breakfast, they can even head into an empty park before it opens for other guests.
All quick-service restaurants provide free iced water, which guests can use to avoid the $5 water bottle price tags.
So that empty water bottle could save you a lot especially when visiting as a family.
Park concierges hand out celebration badges for special occasions like first visits and birthdays.
Guests wearing them will be sure to get the VIP treatment.
This even includes free drinks and snacks, as well as signed cards from crew.
