I never did the dining plan at DL. I never felt the need. DL does not have the in park options that WDW has. You'd be wasting your money on a dining plan at DL. Most of the sit down food at DL is not as good as you will find right outside the park. I'll have fast food in the park for lunch to...

Yep. I'll take Captain EO every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Heck, I'll take it twice every day. It was such as an amazing achievement when it opened that the memories of it's glory will live with me for a long time to come. BTW, I saw it first at DL which was amazing. I agree. It was...

I didn't vote. For me it's "none of the above". Yeah, some of the magic, some of EMH, but mainly it's convenience. I rent a car but I want to be close and on property is the closest. I like staying at the Poly and hopping on the monorail to MK. I like the idea (upcoming trip later this year) of...

Studios Central had a lot of info about HS private parties and fees which will give you a better idea of what it costs. Not as horrible as you might think so long as you don't keep the whole park open...

The usual etiquette is a percentage of the fare. When I traveled to New York a couple of years ago they have fitted their cabs with credit card payment systems and when you pay with CC you can select (only) three tipping options, I may have these off by 5%, but IIRC it was 10%, 15%, or 20%. If...

You were lucky your flight was changed more than 3 hours. They would have had to give you a refund if they couldn't satisfy you. I had a bad experience with JetBlue a couple of years ago. Was flying a short leg on a long vacation from IAD -> JFK booked 6 months in advance. About 3 months...

It's probably not as cheap as Priceline name your own price, but I've used hotwire.com quite a bit for rental cars. I like it because it's usually much cheaper than booking direct but I don't have to go through the hassle of bidding (and sometimes losing). I can see exactly the price I'm going...

Try heading out to the parks when it's raining hard? That keeps some tourists at the hotels.

Thanks! That helps a lot. Now I understand. To get to a park super early, look for a "Character Breakfast" bus.

I'm still not clear on this. Do busses start running run 1 hour prior to park opening, or starting at 6 AM? Thanks. Can anyone provide insight on how soon the AK, Epcot, and HS parking lot gates open prior to park opening? Does it vary if a park opens at 9 AM or 8 AM?

Thanks for the advice everyone. I think I've seen some info on another site somewhere about Disney VIP guides but my remembrance of the cost I saw there of a VIP guide with FP capability was that if you spend more than one day in the parks (peak season) you would quickly outpace the cost of...

Of course you may do it your way, but speaking for me, I think it would work well. Do you know this to be true or are you just guessing? I don't see how it's abuse of the system. It's how the system works: you buy a ticket --> you get to use that ticket to get fastpasses. Have you heard...

As a person who lives far away from WDW I would welcome the opportunity to be able to maximize my limited trip times by having an unlimited FP. Since I don't go often, I would be willing to pay extra to help ensure a good visit. For people who are able to go often it's not as important to them...

Thanks Captain Hank. It's good to know how it works before I get there so I can plan around it. I'm a Disneyland veteran but I haven't been to WDW in ages (since way before FASTPASS) but I'm going later this year. The week after Easter, which I know isn't the best time but I need to work around...

I thought I might be able to take a park hopper ticket that had been scanned at one park and use it to get a FASTPASS at another park without scanning it at the second park (some of the family goes to rest, others take their tickets to another park for a FP). Has anyone tried this? I've heard...
