Many but not all of these tips also work at other Disney parks. At DisneyWorld, I recommend skipping rides that are available at Disneyland. This especially applies to the Magic Kingdom.


Check in at the cruise terminal early. Most ships will let you board the ship at 12 noon. You may not be able to go to your cabin yet but you can have lunch, swim at the pool (without anyone else), use the hot tub if it is on deck, explore the ship and have lunch on board.


Fly One Day Ahead Fly into your starting port or city one day ahead to avoid flight delays or cancellations. This also gives you one day of rest before the start of your cruise or tour.


Purchase your tickets before you arrive from AAA, Under Cover Tourist, ARES travel (online slight discount) or from your hotel before you get to the park. You don’t want the first line you stand in to be the ticket window. Arrive at the front gate with ticket in hand 45 minutes before the park officially opens. Arriving early is the key to getting on a lot of rides quickly. If traveling with younger children then you should try to do Fantasyland rides first. These are low capacity rides with no G+.
