Ride the Monorail From Epcot to Magic Kingdom and Back

There's a monorail loop that goes from the Ticket and Transportation Center outside of Magic Kingdom to Epcot and back. It's a fun ride with great views of Walt Disney World.

Hang Out With Your Favorite Characters

Characters aren't just for kids. Stop and see your favorite and grab a photo. Cast members working each line are always happy to take your photos for you.

Watch Disney's Festival of Fantasy Parade

You can usually get a decent spot for Disney's Festival of Fantasy Parade at Magic Kingdom as a party of one just before the parade starts. So go ride all your favorite rides and line up just before the parade starts at 3 p.m.

Enjoy the Show Inside The Tree of Life

There's a 3D show, "It's Tough to Be a Bug," inside The Tree of Life. This is a great place to sit and cool off.

Do Some Shopping at Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom's Emporium is the largest gift shop in the park! Be sure to stop in to do some shopping while you're at the parks.

Have High Tea at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa

Skip the parks in the afternoon and head to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa for high tea. You're going to want to make a reservation, but it's worth it!

Watch the Films in Each World Showcase Pavilion

In some of the pavilions in World Showcase at Epcot, there are films about the country. Stop in to watch them and learn something new.

Ride a Classic Ride

Magic Kingdom is filled with classic Disney attractions. Grab a Fastpass and check one of them out, like Peter Pan's Flight in Fantasyland.

Eat All the Snacks

You've seen the delicious-looking snacks on Instagram — like this Nutella and fruit waffle at Magic Kingdom — and now it's time to try them for yourself! Eat as much as you want because calories don't count at Disney.

Explore the Trails at Animal Kingdom

There are so many trails and offshoots to explore at Animal Kingdom. This is a great way to get out of the crowds and check out the animals.

Eat at a Restaurant You Normally Wouldn't

There are so many restaurants all across Walt Disney World. Check out one you might not go to with your family, like Sanaa for its bread service and amazing savanna views!

Take PhotoPass Photos

One of the best things to do when you're alone is hop around to different PhotoPass locations at the parks. Some even have props for you to hold, including this lantern from Tangled.

Explore Pandora: The World of Avatar

Pandora: The World of Avatar is just as popular as it was on its grand opening over a year ago. If you head here at the end of the night, though, you won't have to wait as long to get on both rides.

Rope Drop Magic Kingdom

Getting out before the crowds is easier when you're a party of one. Head to Magic Kingdom for the opening show and explore a semi-empty park.

See a Princess

It's not a trip to Disney World without seeing a princess. The earlier you head to see characters, the shorter your wait will be.

Pin Trade With Cast Members

Pin trading is very popular at Disney World. Buy a mystery pack from one of the stores across Walt Disney World and get trading!

Go on All the Single Rider Attractions

Some rides are equipped with single rider lines. Hop in these for a shorter wait for the most popular attractions, like Expedition Everest at Animal Kingdom.

Experience The Void at Disney Springs

If you love Star Wars, be sure to get to The Void at Disney Springs. The virtual reality experience is meant for groups of four, but if you don't mind being paired up with a group, it's lots of fun!

Catch a Movie at Disney Springs

There is a full-service movie theater at Disney Springs. Go chill out and check out the latest Disney film while at Disney World!

Enjoy the Views

There are some great views across Walt Disney World. If you're at The Contemporary Resort, head up to the overlook deck or bridge that connects the main resort to Bay Lake Tower for incredible views!
