Doing Disney: How To Spend a Week at Walt Disney World

Your Mentor for the Magic

Sometimes you don't want a textbook to plan your Disney World vacation. You don't want to cram for a week in the parks the same way you used to cram for a physics exam. You just need a little guidance. And it should be interesting. 'Cause that's the way you do Disney.

Shadowing: the term of art used to describe a novice following a more knowledgeable person to learn something new. Wouldn't it be great if Disney let you shadow seasoned cast members or even "super guests" who know the parks inside out? Small chance. So we'll do it for them.

Say hello to Scott Beallis. You'll be shadowing him, and his family, during a week at Walt Disney World. (They'll know you're there, so it's not like you'll be stalking). Scott isn't a textbook. He doesn't know all there is to know about Walt Disney World. He has likes, dislikes, quirks, maybe he even holds a grudge or two. You're stuck with him for a week.

Over the many, many years he's been coming to Disney World, Scott has learned quite a few useful things, based on personal experience, and it's often stuff you won't find in those guidebooks. You won't fall asleep by page 22, because the narrative here really is a narrative: you travel with Scott, eat with Scott, ride attractions with Scott, sleep with … well, he'll tell you about the rooms, anyway.

At the end of the week, you'll feel as if you really have shadowed a Walt Disney World super guest. And for your next trip to Walt Disney World, you'll be ready for a shadow of your own.
