5. Festivals/ Holidays EPCOT has two main events every year. If you visit WDW in the fall, you have to go to Food and Wine Festival. Tour the World Showcase and sample food from each country. Not only do the pavilions such as Canada, China and Mexico have their own stands, but countries not featured in the World Showcase such as Scotland, Korea and Greece have their own stands. There's also fun activities like the Eat to the Beat concert series.  If you visit WDW in the spring, you'll get the opportunity to go to the Flower and Garden Festival.  I have personally never attended, but it's on my bucket list! All throughout EPCOT are topiaries of Disney characters. And for aspiring gardeners, there are information sessions. There's also a butterfly garden featuring Tinkerbell and her fairy friends. Like Food and Wine, there is a concert series. For kids, there are interactive playgrounds.  I also have to mention EPCOT during the winter holidays. You can explore the...

Let's be real: Florida gets HOT. And MUGGY. This can make visiting the Walt Disney World parks a miserable experience if you are not careful. You can be outside for 4 minutes and already feel the sweat on your face. Most of the time, you're too distracted by all the wonders around you to notice. But, if the heat ever does get to you, here are some things you can do: TIP: Try to avoid the parks during the hottest part of the day, which is the afternoon. If you can, plan to visit the park in the morning, go back the hotel for a break in the afternoon, and return to the parks in the evening. Check the day's weather forecast (hour by hour) so you know exactly when to leave and when to return. TIP: Do Disney at night! Not only is it cooler, but the lines are shorter! This is a great option if you are visiting with a group whose bedtime is after 9. Check out the parks' schedules before making plans. You may even want to consider purchasing an After Hours event ticke...

5. Toy Story Land Toy Story is a Disney franchise close to my heart, so I adore that there is an entire land dedicated to it! Shirnk down to the size of a toy and visit Andy's backyard. This land has some great attractions like Slinky Dog Dash and Toy Story Midway Mania. There are some great eats like the totchos (tater tots with nacho toppings) and lunchbox tarts. The land even offers some great photo ops with all of its props and theming.  4. Time Travel For a Meal Two of the most highly suggested restaurants at WDW are in Studios. They are Sci-Fi Diner and 50's Prime Time Diner. Both will take you back in time to the nifty fifties. Sci-Fi is themed after a drive-in movie theater. The tables look like cars and you are able to watch movie clips as you eat! 50's Prime Time is themed after a typical 50's house with pastel colors and knick knacks galore. The best part about Prime Time is the Cast Members that work it! The waiters were all into the theme, big time....
