Tips about Epcot, Magic Kingdom, Resorts, Saving and Souvenirs
SHADES OF GREEN - We stayed at the Shades of Green this past October during the National Car Rental Golf Tournament. The great perk of staying there was admission to the tournament was FREE! My husband got to see Tiger Woods in person for free. Needless to say we've made reservations for this year's tournament. - Connie Roberts

Pop Century - My wife and I just returned from a stay at the Pop Century Resort. We discovered that if we were trying to catch a bus from a park back to Pop Century and the lines were very, very long, we could sometimes hop on the Art of Animation Resort bus instead. (The stops are usually next to each other.) The walk from the Art of Animation, through the lobby, and across the short bridge to Pop Century took only a couple of minutes -- much quicker than the possible long wait we would have had for our own resort bus. - Rory Osborne

When we were planning for our WDW family vacation in 2002, we saved Disney Dollars. We realized the grandchildren would ask us for souvenirs if their Mom and Dad said "No," so we decided we better plan ahead! We wanted to give each grandchild the same amount of Disney spending money, and build anticipation for the trip as well. For a year in advance, each time there was a birthday, a lost tooth, a good report card or special event, we cashed in real dollars for Disney Gift Cards at our local Disney store and put them in a card. By the time we got to WDW, they had more money than we did! They all had a great time spending their Disney Dollars in the parks on snacks and souvenirs. It was nice to be able to say, "YES, you can spend your Disney Gift Cards," instead of "NO, we can't afford it, it's too expensive!" - GrandmaryB
EPCOT - On every trip to Epcot we try to collect different things from each country, but I'm beginning to run out of space. So this year we decided to collect candy from each country. We usually picked up two different candies at each country. The only country that did not have candy was Morocco, so we bought a pastry. It's a tasty treat that you can enjoy at the park and later at home. I took some to my family and we had a contest to see what country they thought the candy came from. So, in essence it's a treat, collection, and later a game, but only needing short-term storage space. What a fun, tasty thing to do -- my family enjoyed it! - Kelly Adkins
