7 Ways To Get The Most Out Of Your Disney Vacay

Megan Bishop

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!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

The holiday season is full of stress, debt, and forced conversation. While we rush through the month of December, it's important to take a step back and enjoy the moments before they're gone. Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

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.

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.
