If you’re heading to Orlando, you need to book your room, secure your dining reservations and plan out your travel route – but a little advanced movie viewing will help you enjoy the rides more. This research will be fun – and you’ll be able to fully enjoy the movie themed rides and attractions at the Orlando theme parks.
Watch the Spiderman films — or read a few comic books before your trip.
Add the entire library of Disney princess movies to your list, along with plenty of kid’s animation – and you’ll be well on your way. Mickey, Tinkerbell and the princesses are obvious, but don’t overlook these classic films as well.
