Obviously most of you know I live in Central Florida and get quite a dose of Walt Disney World. I’ve lived here most of my life and after 20 years you kind of assume you know everything. The book Beyond The Attractions: A Guide To Walt Disney World With Preschoolers has taught me that I’m wrong. But I have never been happier!
Beyond The Attractions is written by Lisa M. Battista. Battista used to be part of the “We won’t take our kids to Disney until they are old enough to enjoy it” club. So many people are part of that club including my own mother. Then as she did some research she realized she had been wrong all along, there was plenty to do at Disney with the 2-5 crowd. She decided to share this information with the public.
Beyond The Attractions covers things such as Dining, Attractions, Hidden Activities, Resort Stay and Transportation. For example, did you know you could partake in Ride Swapper arrangements at the parks? This means that if you and your spouse both want to ride something that your little one can’t enjoy only one of you needs to wait in the line. When that person finishes the ride, the other parent gets to skip ahead to the front. That tip can save you so much time and allow you to enjoy yourself at the parks as well. I can tell you first hand, Disney does not advertise this service.
The books is just filled with smart tips for your entire stay. I can say I learned a few things which was unexpected since I thought I “knew it all”. Right now you can win a book of your own. Read the instructions to enter below.
