Quick Tip Tuesday ~ Disney Park Balloons

Upon Rebekah’s first visit to the Magic Kingdom she begged for a Mickey Head balloon.  I stalled her day after day hoping she would stop asking or forget she wanted one –  I just felt it was silly to pay such a high price, $10.00 at that time, for something that would have to be carried around all day and could not be put in our suitcase to come home.  She did not forget and she did not stop asking, so I did purchase her a balloon toward the end of our stay.  We ended up deflating it, to this day we still have that first Magic Kingdom-Mickey Mouse balloon in a scrap book.

So here is my Quick Tip – if they ask, buy that balloon but buy it on the first day.  This way you can enjoy it in all it’s glory for your whole vacation stay, then you too can place your deflated balloon in a scrap book. ºoº

Side Note~ You can not bring balloons to Animal Kingdom Lodge
You cannot bring balloons from the parks to AKL. The balloon could float out into the savannah and injure the animals. If you do happen to bring back a balloon they will hold it for you until checkout, but it cannot be taken back to your room.

Quick Tip Tuesday!

For today’s Quick Tip, I spoke with our friend Christine who just returned home from her magical Disney family vacation.  I asked her if there was one tip that stood out in her mind that helped their family enjoy their time with Mickey.

She said, “I think it was to not try and do it all in one trip. It’s impossible!  And it gives you a reason to go back!”

I would have to agree with her.  It is so easy to over book the day.  Schedule your first three fast passes accordingly and have somewhat of a flexible agenda for each park day.  It is very important to listen and watch for your family’s cues, this will let you know when it is time to take a break or call it quits for the day.

 Thanks Christine!
