Disney Old School
Are you tired of the crowds and long lines at Disney World? Are you looking for a more relaxed and nostalgic experience? Then it's time to go old school! Here are some tips for doing Disney World the old-fashioned way.
Visit during the off-season
If you want to avoid the crowds, it's best to visit during the off-season. This typically means going in May or September, when the weather is cooler and kids are back in school or not out of school for the summer. Not only will you have shorter lines, but you'll also get to experience the park without the heat and humidity of summer.
Take advantage of the classic attractions
Disney World is known for its state-of-the-art rides and attractions, but don't forget about the classics. Take a ride on the Pirates of the Caribbean, the Haunted Mansion, or the It's a Small World ride. Don’t forget the People Mover, Carousel of Progress and the actual Carousel aka The Merry-Go-Round. These classic attractions are still just as fun as they were when they first opened.
