8. Early to Rise
If you plan to have a full park day (especially in The Magic Kingdom), make sure you are up in time for rope drop. Not only will you get to ride many attractions with a minimal wait, but this will ensure that you can actually get inside the park. That’s right. The parks can get so busy, sometimes they reach guest capacity before lunchtime. (MK is the biggest culprit.) No cast member is going to ask you to leave once you’re “in”, but if you stroll up to the gates at 11:00 a.m. or decide to leave midday for an offsite meal, you may be out of luck.
