Tips about Health, Magic Kingdom and Mousecellaneous

Do lots of walking before you go to get in shape for walking at the World. This really pays off when you get there, in terms of stamina and enjoyment. We take family walks, and my husband and I also walk on a treadmill in the mornings. Just imagine you are walking from Spaceship Earth to the American Pavilion, or from the far end of one of the parking lot rows to the tram. If you're in better shape, you can pretend to jog from the rope at Tomorrowland to Space Mountain, or from the park entrance to Kilimanjaro Safari in Animal Kingdom. Even if your style of Disney touring is a relaxed stroll, you will benefit from any walking that you do before you go. - Mary Cronin

I've been to Walt Disney World several times. This was the first time I needed to use a motorized scooter. One big tip: Spaceship Earth has a completely separate entrance for scooters. It is one-fourth of the way around the pavilion on the left side. Do not go up the ramp where everyone else goes. A cast member came running out to direct me, and I had to back down. This was my first day with a scooter, so I was a complete novice and managed to run over both my husband's feet. Not good. The system is excellent for scooters and their families IF you know it. - Linda Hesser
