Disney info

This is a little overdue, but a few friends who are both taking families to Disney this summer were asking for tips!

This was one very helpful website!

I would recommend crystal palace @ magic kingdom with Pooh and friends one night for dinner, mornings are best at the parks. Plan on bringing stuff for AM oatmeal cereal and cuties worked for us! We brought our own snacks, juice boxes, and waters everyday into parks. I bought individual almond butter packets(like peanut butter) and smothered that on crackers! Gummy snacks, fresh fruits, applesauce go squeeze packets!

Get to park early, it's less crowded and less waits for rides! Use fast pass when u can! MAke it a point to look at showtimes, schedules, first thing when you get there, and keep somewhat of a schedule. The other character dining was chef mickeys, I would have loved to do that one! I would recommend doing them for dinner then catching fireworks at night at either epcot or magic kindgdom along with Electrical parade. We often would go back to hotel from3-5 to rest change, etc.
Epcot was ok.....the only fun stuff for little ones was turtle talk with crush and nemo ride. A few rides like soarin for older kids, but I personally would only spend a morning there at Epcot.Epcot has stations in each country where kids can color duffy the bear on a stick. kind of like a fan? Mexico norway and another country have little boat rides in the actual building of the country. they are ok.
catch nemo ride and turtle talk first, but get fast passes for soarin. Do fast track if you meet height requirements, its fun! then go do the other things. Epcot has a water play area, i just made it a point to bring both kids change of clothes with us everyday.

We went back to magic kingdom our last day instead of going to Hollywood studios. Animal kingdom was fun, we went to nemo musical,@animal kingdom go to animal safari first, then if you have any roller coaster riders get fast pass for mount kiliminjaro....and dont forget to catch nemo musical. i think our showing was at 1130 and it was 45min. perfect timing for smaller kids! we ate lunch then went and saw the birds show right down or in asia. 1 ride for tots but probably about 3 for middle aged kids.

In magic kingdom go to fantasyland 1st thing when u get there. Snow white is a little scary they say for little kids, as well as LILO & stitch? We didn't ride those!
