So we went to Disneyworld this summer. I intended to blog about it at the time, but you see how that went.

So here is the digest version.

Make sure you have an engineer to tackle the logistical nightmare of checking apps and managing fast passes.

Buy or borrow an insulated backpack to keep water bottles with you. I can’t over-emphasize the importance of staying hydrated (especially if your tactician has plotted a grueling agenda for your day). If you borrow the insulated backpack, budget to purchase a replacement one because you may bust the borrowed one by overstuffing it. Our bad.

Defer in all things to your engineer.

Wear your fitness tracker.

Don’t go Friday through Monday.

If you do all of these things, you will traverse the length of the park too many times to count, take 31,000 steps, ride every single ride (some twice), and never wait in line more than a half hour. All in one day.
