Park Bags | 10 Ways to Save Time at Disney World

Vacation time is precious, and unfortunately, it seems like our vacation days are too few and far between. When you choose a destination like Walt Disney World for your vacation, with so many different things to see, do, and experience, you want to make sure that you can maximize your time.

Here are my top 10 tips for saving time on your next Walt Disney World Vacation:

10. Minimize your park bags

There is a security bag check at the entry to every park (or at the resorts on the monorail line).

While they normally move fairly quickly, if you show up at a peak time at the Magic Kingdom with a swarm of other guests you may have to wait longer than you would like.

There are a few things you can do here. If you can travel lightly, just don’t take a bag.

If you only need a few things, try to put them in your pockets (and those of other family members) along with a folded-up drawstring-style backpack.

Once you’re in the park you can unload their pockets into the bag. These two options allow you to bypass the bag check line.

If you must carry a bag, have all of the compartments open as you approach the security guard, and try to carry as few bags as possible.

QUICK TIP – Pay attention to the lines, normally lines split and you can go on either side of the table or turnstile. Keep watching and move in to fill the space and keep the lines moving quickly.
