Tips about Epcot, Food & Beverage, Mousecellaneous, Planning and Theme Parks
ALL PARKS - Many of the guidebooks suggest getting to the parks an hour before the scheduled opening, saying that they will let you in before the stated time. The last time we were at Disney, two years ago, we were able to do this. We were able to walk to the Castle at the Magic Kingdom where there was a rope up until it officially opened. Last week, though, we were not able to get into the park until five minutes before the stated opening. This is something to keep in mind when you are traveling with young children. There is nothing to see or keep them occupied while waiting for the park to open. On the plus side, we were the first to run all the way to Fantasyland, were able to ride Dumbo by ourselves, and then got to stay on for a second ride. - Lori Dobrez
EDITOR'S NOTE: Although what Lori says is true --you are now kept waiting outside the park until it officially opens -- Disney resort guests can take advantage of the Extra Magic Hour program, which allows you to enter designated parks on certain days one hour earlier than the stated park time.

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.

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 - Spaceship Earth is a continuous-loading ride and the line moves at a steady pace. Even so, do not wait in a long line for Spaceship Earth. Many people will stop here first thing, as it is the first attraction you see upon entering the park. Later in the day, there is little if any line for Spaceship Earth.

EPCOT - My name is Devon, and I am 9. My mom told me you want to know what kids' favorite things are in Epcot. My first trip was last year and my favorite thing was to get a passport and have it stamped at all the countries. What made it really fun is before we went, I learned some phrases in each language so i could talk to the people in each country. I learned Hello, Goodbye, My name is Devon, Thank you and Please in French, German, Norwegian, Spanish, Japanese, Arabic,and Italian. I also tried to count 1-10. The people were happy that I learned some of their language and in France they said I spoke it like a native! I had a lot of fun, trying to learn so many languages, and speaking to people from all over. It was hard to start because I am kinda shy, but the people were all very nice to me, and helped me if I didn't pronounce a word right. I hope other kids will try this. - Devon & Melissa Rinn
