Disney World Traveling Tips

Taking the kids to a Disney theme park (at least once) is practically a family rite of passage. Kids are bound to be enchanted by the rides, the characters, and the atmosphere. But parents can be disillusioned by the lines, the prices, and the inevitable hassle of keeping everyone together amidst a sea of people. Thankfully, the parents of Parent Soup have been to Disney enough times to know the ins and outs.

Disney Theme Parks

2006-03-24T20:33:00.003-08:00

Disney Theme Parks

The main reason for visiting Walt Disney World is, of course, the Theme Parks. Each is as individual as it's name, and each is just as exciting and diversified as the other. For the kid in us all the Magic Kingdom still holds the original Disney magic we experienced while growing up. Although Epcot is geared more toward adult tastes, it is also an educational experience that will stay with kids well into adulthood. Disney-MGM Studios offers visitors a chance to see how a working movie studio operates and so much more. Disney's Animal Kingdom is just that - step into the world of the wild kingdom for a few hours, or a couple of days, to see how the other half really lives.

Jurassic Park

You're about to take a peaceful cruise on a mysterious river past friendly, vegetarian dinosaurs. Of course, something has to go amiss or it wouldn't be much fun at all. A wrong turn is what it takes, and when you enter one of the research departments and see that it's overrun by spitting dinosaurs and razor-clawed raptors, things get plenty scary. This is all a buildup to the big finish: guarding the exit is a towering, roaring T. Rex with teeth the size of hams. By some strange quirk of fate, a convenient escape arrives via a tremendously steep and watery 85-foot plunge that will start you screaming.
