7. You aren’t being realistic. When planning your trip and then enjoying your time in the parks, be sure that you haven’t tried to stuff so much into a day, that it’s impossible to get it all done. It’s better for you to plan less in a day and have extra time to choose other experiences than to over-schedule experiences ...

8. You don’t allow enough time. As you already know, Disney World is huge, and it takes some time to experience the parks in their entirety.
