Visitor Tips
As with most theme parks, go early in the day during summer to beat the Florida heat. Also plan visits to the air-conditioned Conservation Station, It's Tough to Be a Bug, Dinosaur ride to get a cooling break during the hottest parts of the day. Getting a bit wet on the Kali River Rapids ride my also be refreshing.
Disney uses a FastPass® system to allows guests to "save" a place in line at selected adventures and shows. Use your admission ticket at selected kiosk stations to print a FastPass. Return within the predetermined times published on the pass to proceed through a much shorter line to the ride of show. Use of these passes is limited, but highly recommended to get the most enjoyment throughout the day.
