5. Now that I know where we’re going, what next??
Have a loose plan for each park!
Each group member pick 2-3 things you want to do in each park.
Make a list of each attraction you want to ride in each park.
Ride those rides first, then decide what to do next!
Disney Hack #2: Don’t forget about the gift shops, character meet and greets, and parades/shows!

6. What is a FastPass and how does it work?
FastPasses is a free Disney service where you can skip the line and ride a ride without waiting. You’ll want to use this!!
To get started with FastPass, you’ll need your group’s ticket numbers.
To get your ticket numbers, ONE person from each park group will come see Mrs. Rider with their agenda.
Disney Hack #3: The longer you wait to make your FastPasses, the fewer selections you’ll have!

Disney Hack #8: If you miss your hour window for a FastPass for whatever reason, you can still use it for up to 15 minutes after the FastPass expires!

21. A couple more hacks…
Disney Hack #9: If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again! If you don’t see the FastPass you want, keep checking! There are always FastPass times being added!
Disney Hack #10: Nothing is set in stone! You can always change your FastPasses by tapping on the one you want to change and then tapping on the modify button.
