Hi, I am Kristi, the content curator for Disney Insider Tips.
I’ve been traveling to Disney World since a child in the 80s and have always considered it my happy place. Through the years, I have watched Disney World evolve from just one to four Disney parks, two water parks, two mini golf courses, a shopping district and more.
And with each evolution, the magic of Disney World continues to bring me back time and time again.
That is the reason why I created Disney Insider Tips.
Having been an annual pass holder to Disney World and visited Disneyland, Disneyland Paris numerous times, we have become what we consider Disney park insiders.
Our trips have taught us many lessons that we hope to share with others to make their vacation to the Disney parks as magical as they have been for us.
On this site, you will find many Disney tips on how to navigate the parks, use the Genie+ system, find the perfect resort for your family, and more.
Our expertise is not based on selling you a service (we are not travel agents). Instead, we give you free Disney tips and the same travel advice we would give our friends and family.
In addition to tips for the Disney theme parks, we also share tips for the Disney Cruise Line.
We are Platinum Castaway Club members. This means that we have been on more than 10 cruises through the Disney Cruise Line and can speak to how magical those ships really are.
Again, we are not paid by Disney to promote Disney in any way. We just simply believe in the magic that the Disney Parks and Disney Cruise Line have.
We hope you will take the time to check out our site and if you have any questions, you can feel free to reach out to us on our Disney Insider Tips Facebook Group or through any of our social media platforms:

Good afternoon!!
I just have a couple questions. You are the go to person for Disney, so I thought I'd ask.
Do you know if, or how I can get paper copies of the maps? The kind they give at the entrance of each park. Also, do you have to be registered with a travel agent to participate in the Disney College of Knowledge? I did the course years ago, when still sent the books.... But I loved it and got my ears and a pin.
Thanks so much and look forward to hearing from you

@Jan Cannon-Bowers, It might be day of week you are looking to attend or how many they have set aside for the dining packages that could make it look that way. I would keep calling to see if anyone dropped their reservation. It happens all the time. Best of luck!
