5. The Go-getter

There are two sub-categories worth mentioning—the go-getter and the guest who just wants to take it easy. There’s little question that Walt Disney World can definitely meet the needs of those who want to stay moving throughout a busy day. Sitting still is not a refreshing vacation for these individuals—they thrive on activity, and that’s all right!

The trick for those who love to stay moving at Disney is to not get trapped in endless lines or a boring routine—plan your days wisely to reduce line waits as much as possible. Don’t be afraid to walk from one side of the park to the other to outsmart crowds that are touring the rides at a more leisurely pace. If you’re athletic, plan opportunities into your trip for recreation and fitness, such as enjoying walking paths, playing golf, visiting a resort fitness center, or taking a trip to one of Disney’s two excellent water parks, Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach.

The only note for this personality type is to be sensitive if your fellow party members can’t keep up with your pace. It’s okay to split up sometimes if needed. Let people enjoy their vacation at their own speed, and if yours is a fast one, their break can just prove a new opportunity to explore.

6. "I just-want-to-RELAX"

If the description of staying constantly-on-the-move at Walt Disney World made you cringe, you may fall into the category of guests who just want to RELAX.

A Walt Disney World vacation shouldn’t be the type of trip you feel like you have to take another vacation from when you get back. It is okay to slow down the pace, take your time, and rest! Staying on Disney property can make all the difference for this group as it can provide an easy-to-reach refuge for you to retreat to enjoy some R&R throughout your trip, even if the rest of the family wants to keep chugging ahead. The Epcot resorts are an especially good choice for this group thanks to myriad transportation options.

While in the parks, some of the best places to relax can be peaceful dark rides like Pirates of the Caribbean, Living with the Land, and Spaceship Earth. Walking trails at Disney’s Animal Kingdom can allow you to explore at a gentle pace, taking however long you like. Stay at a resort that feeds your need for peace like Saratoga Springs, Old Key West, the Yacht and Beach Club, or even Wilderness Lodge. Plan a day to visit Senses Spa at The Grand Floridian or Saratoga Springs (or alternatively, the spas at the Swan or The Four Seasons Orlando). Even if you don’t visit the spa, many of the resorts still offer massage therapy. Take a dip in the pool while everyone else is out at the parks. Make sure you have a resort room you love, and don’t feel like you have to spend your whole trip running around. In short, slow down and treat yo’ self.

No matter your personality type, there really is something for everyone at Walt Disney World. What’s your ideal Disney vacation look like?
