  1. Know where characters will be during your visit: By getting informed about character meet-and-greet experiences, parades, and usual haunts, you increase your family's chances of meeting characters by quite a bit. Our favorite is meeting Goofy, Donald, Daisy, and Minnie at Pete's Silly Sideshow!
  2. Eat during off-hours: If you use usual dining times to ride popular attractions, you can avoid plenty of other vacationers. Bring snacks to hold your kids over for lunch until 2:30 p.m. or so!
  3. Plan for a nap: You and your kids will be a whole lot happier if you take an hour out of your day for a nap — you'll all be rested and rejuvenated in time for fireworks in the evening.
  4. Download the Disney FastPass+ app: This app allows users to make changes to their FastPass reservations and select new passes without having to use kiosks, not to mention analyzing wait times, finding characters, and sharing plans with the whole family.
