113. Let your kids nap. Even if at the parks... it gives you time to people watch. It also gives you time to sit back and appreciate the fact that you have them and were able to take them to such a magical place!
114. Use the baby stations. They are clean and cool.

127. Instead of eating at the hotel, try going a bit earlier and having breakfast at the parks. It will be a nice, slow way to start off the morning.
128. If you stay at the Wilderness Lodge, volunteer to help raise the flag.
129. If you can, plan a date night at California Grill. Make sure to have the reservation overlap with MK fireworks and then watch them from the balcony outside.

153. Plan Plan Plan before you go
154. take advantage of photo pass and check out the pre pay photo pass option
155. try to book an early breakfast reservation at magic kingdom - you get in early and get the chance to walk down main street with almost no crowd - the best part is the smells - its a mix of just watered flowers, candy and the bakery its my favorite place on earth!
156. order groceries from garden grocer - its so nice to have drinks and snacks in your hotel room
157. try to take some time to slow down and enjoy being in disney world

158. If you are staying on WDW Property, take advantage of having your purchases at the stores shipped to your resort instead of carrying them around.
159. On HM never step to the dead center of the room. Step towards the entrance for the Doom Buggies and get ahead of at least 30 or so people.
160. Similar to 159. on TOT always stand in the back away from the t.v and near the next entrance door so you are now first out of the room and ahead of the pack
