Ditto. Both Disney and Universal have their own versions...you MUST use them. They are huge timesavers. os
I just got back for Disney about a month ago, I took my 7 year old daughter. I love that place! Have fun and wear some confortable shoes and bring some rain gear.
One Word -- OCTOBER!! my brother and his son just got back...they were literally walking on to rides...they got on pirates of the caribbean and were the only ones on the boat! i've made dinner reservations and had no problems...the lady i spoke with over the phone at one of the places said the restaurant was wide open that night! in between labor day and thanksgiving is the time to visit disney! cooler weather and less crowds...
I found that the first week of December was a great time to go. I think the second week of December would be better. The parks are open a little later and there aren't many people there.
early-december is a great time to go...december is fine until two weeks out of christmas...then it is unreal crazy. basically avoid it on any holiday....then you're fighting florida residents, too.
Take advantage of the single riders line. Just go up there as a group and ride the ride one by one. It save sa LOT of time if the lines are long and you don't mind being split up in a couple of groups.
good tip! my brother said the only ride that he ever had to wait on was test track at epcot...and he said that line was unreal long! particularly considering he was walking on to all the other rides...he said the single rider is definitely the way to go on that ride. works for me, because if we want to ride that one, my wife and i will have to do it separately so one of us can hang out with my son.
I’ve been to DisneyLand before. Of course that was in … oh never mind. When my friend and I had used up our tickets and were about to tell the his parents that we were ready to leave, this guy came up to us and said that his family was leaving and he had a couple of half filled books of tickets that he would give us if we wanted them. Needless to say, we didn’t leave for another couple of hours. That man’s generosity to a couple of young Canadian kids is still one of my fondest memories of that trip. Have a good trip Max and family!
Take the kid on Test Track...I don't THINK he'd explode or anything. Life is all about taking chances Max.
Disneyworld rules. And yes you better hit Universal as well, I remember getting to participate in demo's of King Kong and Earthquake. The Islands of Adventure was just opening the last time we went. Maybe if you are lucky you can check out the Alfred Hitchcock show and star in the lead role of Psycho(my Dad did that and it was so hilarious). All in all my likeness of Disney didnt fade over the two trips but changed: when I was little it was all Magic Kingdom and Space Mountain for me, when I was a teenager I was much more interested/fascinated by Epcot.
Actually, they just closed King Kong and the Alfred Hitchcock show is ending soon, if it hasn't already. The Hanna Barbera ride is getting replaced as well. Just a heads up.
Well I am not going anytime soon, just reminscing about family vacations. Those were two of the coolest exhbits though.
