Time saving tips/tricks

[Seano846]

Does anyone have tips on how to save time, or on how to beat the crowds at wdw? A trick I like to use is when I am a resort guest I drive to the Contemporary and park in the lot,then walk to the MK.This saves a TREMENDOUS amont of time when leaving at closing instead of waiting for the Monorail or ferry

I know! When I first moved down here, I made the mistake of asking what kind of soda was available. They said only club!

And any cola drink is a coke.

Marcia, we went to the store in Florida once and my brother bought a coke. The cashier asked if he wanted his pop in a sack...my brother couldn't understand why the guy wanted to put my dad in a large cloth bag...

And I call any non-carbonated, non-alcoholic beverage "juice."

Another $-saving trick I use: I pack all my disney gear from previous trips (t-shirts, sweatshirts, socks (!), watch) so I'm less inclined to buy Disney stuff...when you look like a billboard, it's a good clue you don't need another mickey t-shirt...

Oh, (could I be more scattered this evening?) and I discovered eating Powerbar harvest or luna bars before I go to the parks makes me much less grouchy and I can wait a little later to eat...

Good idea, Mighty! The last thing I need is another Mickey t-shirt but I always end up with a couple new ones every time I go!

I love "Smart Watermelon"!

We always take the resort "express" monorail to get back to the TTC after a long night at the MK. I don't think people realize it stops at the TTC and so they wait in line for the other monorail. I always feel (a little) guilty but not enough to change my sneaky ways.

time saving

My two time saving tips are to get to the parks before they open so when the ropes go down you have 2 hours to do half of the park. The other tip is to read the Unofficial Guide.
