I have definitely scaled back this year. Is it because of the price increases? Sort of. Last year my family had 5 Platinum APs and we went 3 times as a family on those passes and there were several other trips where smaller groups went. As of October 11th we will be down to just one pass...
I saw a good amount of fall over drunks for F&W last year. I usually go in October when there is a big master's swim meet in Orlando. Given that I'm swimming most of the weekend, I usually get to Epcot late in the day. Last year there was one very drunk man in the bathroom in Innovations...
I know for a fact that it doesn't include pre-check. I take food all the time through pre-check and I've not had a problem.
Edit - this includes my candy from last years party.
I didn't check the whole thread to see if anyone replied, but yes, TSA has added that your bag is searched by hand if it has food in it. This is at all airports, not just MCO.
While i don't have a huge backpack, i almost always have a bag. With having to ware glasses, i usually have my regular glasses in my bag, the current popcorn bucket, and a couple fuel rods to charge my phone.
All the time. Usually when I stay at YC I walk to both parks. That trip I was staying at all-stars. It's a long explanation on why I drove over to HS, but basically it was to make a Fast pass.
Edit - Every cast member I asked going into HS said they don't tow cars from the park lots. Now...
I actually asked about that in October. They don't tow (yet) from the parks. I had parked at HS that closed at 8:30 and took transportation to MK that closed at midnight. Then took a bus back to YC to get my car that was still sitting there at 1:30 am.
