7 Ways To Get The Most Out Of Your Disney Vacay

Disney is considered the happiest place on Earth for many reasons- from the perfectly themed rides to the mouse-shaped food. Just in case you want a little more happiness in your time there, though, stick to these extra-magical tips.

Stay at a Disney Resort

It may look more expensive to start, but with Extra Magic Hours, free transportation services and more offered, staying on Disney property is oh so worth the investment.

Plan your FastPasses BEFORE you get to the parks

Bottom line, waiting in line stinks. True Disney fanatics know that and will start scheduling the biggest and best rides on their FastPass months ahead of time, so why don't you just join the craze?

Get in the doors the SECOND the park opens

If you can hit a few of your favorite rides before anyone else even gets to them, you have so much time afterwards to get to the rides that have less of a demand.

Don't feel bad about taking naps

Considering you are taking advantage of the Parks' early hours, you may need a little rest and that's okay! Take advantage of your siesta during the hottest hours of the day and get back for evening festivities.

When it comes to eating, go big AND go home

Often after a trip to Disney, the one thing leaving unhappy is your wallet. Buy some easy, cheap foods to eat for breakfast and even some lunches so that you can save your splurge money for Disney's must-see, pricey restaurants.

Get into character- there are plenty to choose from

Whether it's constantly wearing mouse ears, dressing in a full princess ballgown every day, or getting your face painted like the Na'vi tribe, take advantage of the fact that for the entire time you're at Disney, no one will look at you like you're crazy for doing it.

Make your memories and take them, too!

If you're leaving Disney without a photo in front of the famous Cinderella Castle or screaming at the top of your lungs on the Tower of Terror, did you really even go to Disney? Of course you did, but it's always important to capture those moments you'll want to look back on in the future.

Most importantly, enjoy yourself. Any Disney vacation will be an awesome vacation, but there's never any harm to taking it up a notch!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
