Tips about Epcot, FastPass+, Magic Kingdom and Mousecellaneous

ALL PARKS - There is another show at WDW that most people miss; sit down and watch the other guests. You will never see so diverse an amount of tennis shoes, fashion statements or age groups. - CMarlan

ALL PARKS - What our tip is, is to tie a bright bandana on the luggage rack or one of the mirrors of your car/minivan/truck that face the tram pick up area. We tied a bright colorful bandana nearest the tram pick up side on our while rented minivan, each day of our 11 day trip to WDW. It didn't matter what park we were at or what row we parked at. All we had to remember was the section, (example, stage, donald, unicorn, etc) we always found our van many times from very far away. We also used the bandana's on our stroller and on our luggage. - Clemley

On a recent Disney trip I decided to forgo bringing my purse and just buy a cheap, small man's wallet. I just popped my ID, credit cards, ticket and a few dollars in, and off I would go. I could skip the bag line and not worry about where my money and information was. It made airport check-in a breeze also. I still use it today and leave all my other seldom-used cards in my larger wallet in my purse. How often do you really use all that other stuff you drag around with you? - Donna

Want to get prepped for your Hidden Mickey hunt at WDW, Disney style? Just watch Lion King 1 1/2. There are so many Hidden Mickeys in this movie that I lost count! - Alea L.

We watched the AllEarsNet TV episode about FastPass+ with interest, having used it for the first time in August. One thing worth mentioning is that we booked our FastPass+ 60 days ahead as we were staying on property. Our parents, however, who live locally and so were not staying on property, were meeting us there and could only book 30 days in advance, even though our tickets were all linked. This meant that they couldn't necessarily get the same times as us for various attractions. For example, there were no reservations left for the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train by the time they could book. Apart from this, other readers/viewers may not know that families can link their tickets like this, and that generally this was really useful. - Louise & Jason Herrick from England

ALL PARKS - We read complaints about some of the attractions being too loud so we carried a set of earplugs in our fanny packs and found that they helped tremendously! We could still hear well, but our ears were much more comfortable. The earplugs don't take up any room at all either! - Diane Taylor

EPCOT - Make sure to mention the priceless moment when your toddler sees the SpaceShip Earth for the first time, and how their eyes light up and they start pointing and squealing. It is a great photo opportunity. - David Reich

EPCOT - On Spaceship Earth, wheelchair guests should see the Cast Member in front of the attraction. You will then be taken to another area to board the ride vehicles. Wheelchair guests need to transfer from the wheelchair to a ride vehicle.

EPCOT - On occasion, your Spaceship Earth *time vehicle* may stop momentarily. This usually is to allow persons in wheelchairs to transfer in and out of the ride vehicle.
