REDROP: 20 Quick Walt Disney World Tips You NEED to Know for Your Next Disney Trip

So we're starting out the gate with, in my opinion, a great one.

And that is the playground at the Dumbo ride in Magic Kingdom.

So Dumbo is already like a great kid ride because they have two actual rides there.

So normally the wait time isn't quite as bad.

But what really brings Dumbo in like... ranking up there is the fact that there is an indoor playground inside the big tent right by the ride and what's nice is you can actually get in line you can get a little buzzer to hold your line place you can go play in the playground well probably not you your children and then when it's your turn to ride bing bing bing buzz even if you don't want to wait in line this is a great like indoor place to kind of kill off An indoor place to kind of chill out, get out of the sun, let the kids blow off some steam.

And a lot of people don't even know it's there.

So whether you want to ride the ride or not, go check out the Dumbo Playground.

Next up, we're talking resort mugs.

So if you are staying at a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel, you are probably going to have the option to purchase a reusable mug.

So you buy this mug.

It's normally between like $20 and $25.

Might be a little more if you get like a fancy limited edition one they have sometimes.

But normally there's just kind of one or two designs.

You pick a different handle color, but you get this resort mug and you basically are getting fountain beverages, coffee, things like that for your entire length of stay up to two weeks, I believe it is.

Now, the Disney soda machines are smart, okay? This cup you're buying, this reusable mug, has like a little sensor in it that you'll have to set on the soda fountain, and it'll know like how many days yours is good for, so you can't be bringing these back like...

over and over again on your trips also if you buy just a regular cup for like a one-time drink you've got some kind of like barcode or chip situation happening there too so the soda machines are smart but this can be a really great option i'll be honest sometimes my family gets like one or two and we just share a soda because we're not always eating or drinking at the resorts but But this can be great to have on you if you just grab, you know, go up there and grab a basic coffee in the morning or drink on your way back after the parks.

Do know that they don't have these refill stations in the parks.

You could technically use this at other resort hotels.

I think like if you were resort hopping around, it should still work, but only at the hotels, not in the parks.

Next, you can check in on the app.

Make sure you do this.

Download the My Disney Experience app before your trip.

Play around with it.

Know how it works, but do the mobile check-in.

What this is going to allow you to do is as soon as your room's ready, you're going to get a push notification, sometimes even a text.
