As the new year approaches, it’s time to bid farewell to 2023 and welcome 2024 with open arms. And what better way to kick off the new year than with some Disney magic? To make your visits even more magical, here are some New Year’s Resolutions-themed tips you can use during your time at the parks.
10. Become an Early Bird
When you stay at a Disney resort, arriving at the park gates right when they open for the rope drop can be beneficial. This is because some ride lines tend to be shorter in the morning than later. Even if you don’t make it to the rope drop, visiting the parks in the morning is still a good idea to avoid crowds. Many visitors tend to arrive in the parks from 12:00 PM and later, which means the parks could be more congested and lines could be longer than they are earlier in the day.
9. Begin Each Day with a Nutritious Breakfast
Whether you are on vacation or want to be at Disney for the day, having a nutritious breakfast before going to the parks is essential. Eating a good breakfast will give you the energy to continue through the day. It can also fill your appetite for a while, so you don’t have to spend much money on snacks when you arrive if that is a concern.
8. Go to the Gym
If you are staying at a resort and are used to exercising daily, don’t become hesitant because you are on vacation. You will feel a lot better if you go to the gyms at your resort or, if you are up for it, a gym at another resort. The size of the gym depends on your resort, so it might be a good idea to look around and find which gym is best for you. Instead of going to a gym, try running or doing HIIT outside around the property. There are paths with excellent scenery at many resorts; sometimes, viewing the magic around will give you an extra energy boost.
7. Reduce Single-Use Plastic Consumption
Be a better friend to the planet during your trip by bringing your reusable water bottles instead of wasting single-use plastic water bottles. It helps not only the Earth but also your wallet! There are plenty of water fountains and hydration stations to refill your water bottles.
6. Drink More Water
It is imperative to stay hydrated at Walt Disney World. It will help you avoid dehydration and heat exhaustion and stabilize blood sugar. Sometimes, it’s hard to keep hydrated with water when so many delicious drinks are around the parks. However, having your own reusable water bottle, especially one with a time marker on the side, can help you stay accountable.
5. Try Something New
Walt Disney World has something for everyone, regardless of age or interests. The possibilities are endless, from thrilling rides and delicious food to enchanting parks. So why not step out of your comfort zone and try something new? Who knows, you might discover a hidden gem that will become your new favorite thing at Disney. It’s always worth taking a chance and experiencing the magic of Disney in a new way.
4. Eat More Veggies
It can be fun to try all the sweet treats and yummy snacks during your visit, but it is also necessary to balance your diet. Your body will thank you later. Don’t worry! This can be exciting, too. There are a lot of delicious meals around the park that are healthy and plant-based. Go try them!
3. Take a Break From Social Media
In these times, separating ourselves from our phones can be difficult. But once we look up, we see the splendorous world around us. Taking a break from social media and devices can connect us to friends and family. Then, you can create even more special memories at the parks.
2. Plan Date Nights
Living near WDW provides an excellent opportunity for date nights at the parks. You can dance the night away at the Atlantic Dance Hall at Disney’s Boardwalk, have a mouthwatering dinner at Disney Springs or Epcot, or simply enjoy riding rides and watching fireworks. The possibilities for a perfect date night at Walt Disney World are endless, and this is the ideal place to try them all out.
1. Make a Movie Bucket List
This is an excellent idea for people traveling to Walt Disney World for vacation. Make a list of a few Disney movies that you want to watch during your trip. After a day at the parks, unwinding to laughter and amusement is the perfect way to end the night (followed by a restful sleep, of course).
If you plan on visiting Walt Disney World, following these New Year’s resolution tips can help enhance your overall experience and make the most out of your time at the most magical place on Earth.
