WDW advice for teens

[Aliceacc]

The Seniors in my high school head down to WDW at the end of the week.

Two have worked all year with my Frosh homeroom, and I'm making up a packet for them-- info on Fastpass, rides/attractions not to miss, and so on.

Any advice I should include that's aimed particularly at teens who haven't been to WDW before?

Thanks for any help you can offer!

Don't line jump.
The past two days at Disney were full of grads and cheerleaders, and I'm sick of people saving people spots in line. It's incredibly annoying.
The cheerleaders are leaving though, but the grad influx is only going to get worse =/

I second the line jumping thing. When we went there was a lot of marching band HS there, and they were constantly saving spots for each other in line and skipping people.

Don't feel obligated to wait in a really long line, unless you REALLY want to ride it. No one wants to waste a trip waiting in long lines. Keep moving, and finding rides with moderate waits, and use fastpasses wisely!

This is directly related to teens, but it is useful tips!
-Fastpass time extends to the end of your day at the park, not just the time frame listed on the card.
-If the line for an attraction ever splits to the left or right, go to the left, b/c most people go to the right side.

(Hope this helps!)

Correctly using Fast Passes can make or break your trip. Spending hours in line all day, not fun.
If you time them right for the rides you really want to go on you can get on way more rides and wait way less.
Make sure to pick what ride you want to right the most before you get in the park. Right when you get in the park go to that ride and grab a fast pass. Then run to another ride you really want to ride and get in line, it should be fairly short.

For meals try not to eat right at 12:00 or around lunch time. A lot of people will be eating and the lines for rides will be a little bit shorter.

Oh, and a tip for Epcot. Everyone wants to ride Sorrin' so if you want to ride it you better get there fast. Go there first, grab a fast pass and then ride it. That way you're sure to get on twice without having to wait 2-3 hours.

there are so many.. but a couple are:
-you should only watch a show once or twice. i.e the fireworks. everyone will stop to watch them which allows lower ride lines.
-be respectful to everyone in the park
-budget well. anyone can lose their finnacial mind in disney world. set-up 1 or 2 special dinner places and then budget the rest of the time.
-hit all E-Ticket attractions. but don't forget the classics.

Yes! This is a good one. If you've seen one of their firework shows you've seen them all.
I went on a ton of rides and didn't have to wait at all while the fireworks were going on it was great.
