Tips about Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Magic Kingdom and Mousecellaneous
EPCOT - We always enjoy visiting with piano player Pam Brody at the Rose and Crown. Pam was the piano player aboard the Queen Mary for years, and met almost every movie star from the 1940s until the shipped was docked. She is a fascinating lady and great entertainment. Also, an entertainer does card tricks at the same pub throughout the day. Add that with the best ale in Disney and you have a winner. - Lynn K.
DISNEY'S HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS - Along the lines of new Hidden Mickeys, in the new Lights, Motors, Action! show, there are three trash baskets on the right side of the set that are welded together to form a Hidden Mickey. - Boris Beckert

Epcot - If your kids aren't big enough to ride Test Track go into the gift shop/exit. I thought it was just a gift shop, and I was wrong. My 3-year-old was thrilled to be able to sit in a Hummer and a Saab. All he talks about are the cool cars he played in at Test Track. I am so glad I didn't walk by this attraction. - Robin from Deltona, FL

Hang on to your hat! My husband wears a baseball cap to prevent sunburn. He was astounded to have it fly off his head on the Tower of Terror. He was very relieved he caught it. What he didn't realize was that our brand new annual passes had been in his front shirt pocket. They, too, had levitated. Fortunately, the Cast Member saw them and called our names. WHEW! - TJ

Disney's Hollywood Studios - If you would like something to hold on to while riding the Tower of Terror, just jump to the front of your row. This way when you enter the elevator you will be seated on the outside and all of the outside seats have a handle on the side wall. - A Cast Member

Disney's Hollywood Studios - I am a larger/plus-sized woman, and when I go on the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, I always ask to be put in an odd-numbered car, so they put me in lines 1, 3, 5, 7, etc... These are the 'front' seats of the vehicle, and they have much more room when entering and exiting the vehicle. I've also found when exiting that I can propel myself more easily by holding on to the front portion of the ride vehicle. I don't feel squished like when I am in the 'back seat' of the ride vehicle. - Dawn

Epcot - Don't forget the single rider lines at Test Track and Mission: SPACE, especially if you're just part of a couple. This is a GREAT way to ride quickly. Even when we have the kids, we'll each take the 9-year-old (the other kids are too small) and ride using the single rider line, then we switch... oftentimes it even beats out the child swap option because you don't have to stand in the regular line. - - Sarah

For $.79 at your local Target store you can purchase a clear plastic coupon holder in the office supply department. It's 5" x 7" in size, has a Velcro closure, and is perfect for holding your tickets, money, etc. It keeps everything from getting wet on the water rides and is easy to find in your backpack! I never go to WDW without mine! - Noreen Rachuba
EDITOR'S NOTE: Magic Bands eliminate the need to carry many cards, but for those you do, this is a great suggestion.

I brought Dawn DishWipes with us and washed out our refillable mug in our room sink every night. My mug just never felt truly clean on any of our other trips when I would just rinse it well with hot water. The wipes come in a clear plastic box and are dry, so I just put a bunch in a Ziploc bag.
