Let’s be honest… Your Disney trip will absolutely be magical, but it won’t be every single minute. From long wait times for attractions to trying to grab a hard-to-get reservation, some things can be quite annoying.

But don’t worry — we’ve got you covered with some “cheats” for these problems! No time to waste…let’s get right into them!

Skip The Dining Reservations

We talk about dining A LOT here at the Disney Food Blog, but you know what we also talk about a lot? LOUNGES! We love a good lounge — no stress about getting dining reservations, no prix-fixe menu or outrageous prices, and it’s the perfect escape during a chaotic park day! Some of our favorites are Nomad Lounge in Animal Kingdom, the Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge in Hollywood Studios, and the Turf Club Lounge at Saratoga Springs Resort.

If you were looking to dine at one of the table-service restaurants but don’t have to worry about getting a dining reservation, check if they have a walk-up waitlist! If they do and have availability, all you have to do is wait for your name to be called — no waking up at 6 AM in hopes of grabbing a Cinderella’s Royal Table reservation and failing.

It’s Okay To Leave And Come Back

Park days can get extremely overwhelming (and exhausting). We know you spent a lot of money to be there, but you know what else you spent a lot of money on? Your hotel room. It’s okay to take a mid-day break and come back when you’re refreshed. Go take a shower. Go take a nap. Just relax in bed and charge your devices (including you!) By the time you’re done with that, you’ll be revitalized and ready to take on the rest of your day!

Knock Out Some Shows During Peak Times

Disney attraction wait times can get up there, especially during peak seasons like spring break, summer, and the holidays! If you’re visiting during that time, watch the wait times. Rope drop some of the bigger rides in the morning, watch some shows and live entertainment during the day, and go back to the bigger rides when the wait times drop at night. Not only will you experience more during your trip, but you’ll also get a break in the air-conditioning for most shows!

Dress Stylish, But Comfortable

Your Disney park outfit doesn’t need to be extravagant or expensive — it just needs to be comfortable! You can still dress the part while wearing something enjoyable. Take, for example, these PINSPARK Women’s Workout 2-in-1 Shorts — they’re breathable and comfortable and can go with any top you choose since they’re a solid-colored bottom!

These shorts are double-layered, with the outer layer made out of 92% polyester and 8% spandex with a cooling design for breathability, and the inner lining made out of 87% spandex and 13% nylon for extra coverage to reduce thigh skin friction.

Be Prepared For The Chafe

You’re going to be doing A LOT of walking around the parks during your trip, which means you may encounter chafing. So, that’s why we recommend grabbing the Megababe Thigh Rescue Anti-Chafe Mini Stick! This stick is great for both preventing and treating chafes. Simply rub the stick on the affected areas and let it work its magic!

It’s made with natural ingredients like aloe, pomegranate, and grapeseed oil to soothe, moisturize, and protect chafe-prone skin.
