Worth knowing
- Mid September means cooler weather but shorter queues
- Magic Hours give on-site guests one quiet hour in the parks each morning
- A 5 day ticket costs only slightly more than a 3 day ticket, and worth it for younger children
Watch out for
- Avoid Halloween weekends, prices jump by £400 or more
- Disney's Annual Pass discounts often beat the standard package, ask us if you go often
- Off-park hotels can look cheap but Uber costs at park close add up
