Arrive at Disney Early

The later you wait to start the day, the more overcrowded you'll find monorail cars and attraction lines. Those who arrive early leave the parking lots quickly and enter the parks with minimal delay. Just a few hours later, the same actions could take 30-40 minutes, and that's time you will not get back. On a recent visit, I arrived about an hour after the park opened and still found lines for the monorail and lines of moderate length already had formed at some of the popular attractions. Plan on being there when they open. You won't be sorry.
