Tips about Epcot, Food & Beverage, Kids, Mousecellaneous and Scrapbooking
My wife and I like to do a "monorail meal" when we visit: We get a salad at the Polynesian, get on the monorail, then stop at Grand Floridian for the main course. Then we get back on the monorail, and stop at the Contemporary for dessert. This is for people who have visited often, want to spend time out of the parks, spend a little shopping time in each hotel and just take your time. Start early! - Ford Adam

ANIMAL KINGDOM - A lot of people just run right by Pizzafari on the way to the Safari. My friends had been there 3 times and never knew what Pizzafari even was. The building blends in with the tropical plants and trees. It is awesome inside. The most themed quick food restaurant I have seen in Disney World. When you finally take your eyes off the ceiling, floors and walls (I love the snails and frogs!) you will notice they have great food for sale. - Elaine Taddeo

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.

On www.mcdonalds.com, there is a trip planning feature that will map your route and give you the locations of all McDonald's within even .5 miles. It also tells you if there is a PlayPlace and Drive-Thru. This is invaluable for those of us driving two 4-year-olds for 24+ hours. Go to the restaurant locator and scroll down to Trip Planner. - Laurie

I think a lot of times people forget
(or do not know) that there is a Wal-Mart pretty close to WDW,
in Kissimmee. We have been there on many of our trips, and they
have a lot of great Disney T-shirts and souvenirs, not to
mention that they're one of the cheapest places to buy food and
sunscreen. - Christy R. Tripp

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

A tip for parents is to carry a few
changes of clothes for the kids. There are a few places where
there are fountains that come out of the ground (like at the bus stop entrance to Disney Markeplace) and some rides on which
you can get very wet. This way the parents can take their kids
into a restroom and change them into dry clothes so that they'll
enjoy the rest of the trip to the park without having to run
around in wet clothes or underwear.

I have been going to WDW for the last 25 years...
Three years ago I took my children for the first time when they
were 7, 3 and 6 months. We are going back this year in June and
I have already started the planning. The best thing I have found
are the Disney Deals on eBay. Last time my kids loved the
souvenir light-up Pooh bears. In the park they were around $7
each. They have long since disappeared. I found them on eBay for
only $2.99 each and have ordered three. I also bought T-shirts
for around $5, candy, ball caps, etc. I have put all this in a
suitcase the kids have not seen. When we get to Disney, I will
give them a new treat each morning. This way, we have already
saved more than $150, and we haven't even left the house yet! - Aimee F.
Our daughter is not yet 2, but we have
gone to WDW twice in her short lifetime. Every time we go, we
stop at our favorite resort, Wilderness Lodge, and take her
picture with the totem pole right in front of the Trading Post
store inside. This way we can see how much she's grown since our
last trip. There are a lot of places you could use as a "heightchart". Just look around at your favorite Disney spot. The
Indian on Main Street in the Magic Kingdom, any one of the
thousands of signs, the tile wall inside the castle... just make
sure it's something that's going to be around for awhile!

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.
