If you purchase your park tickets through AAA (which I found to be the cheapest) and you are planning to drive to the parks you should take advantage of the Diamond Parking Spaces which are right up front. You receive a Diamond Lot permit in your ticket packet to display on your dashboard. No need to wait for and take trams out to outer parking areas. Quick entry and exit. Thanks to Chris for this tip
Having been at Disney World during the summer, one thing is for sure - you can always count on a rain shower. Then it happens. Hundreds of people whip out rain ponchos or purchase ponchos - all clear! It can be near to impossible to locate a member of your party, especially one of your children, when everyone looks alike. Purchase rain ponchos at home in a bright color; red, blue, orange, lime green - anything other than yellow, and keep them with you for the inevitable - you'll be able to spot your party a lot easier. Thanks to Terri for this tip!
When we go to Disney World, we always make sure we pack enough new and shiny pennies and alot of quarters. In most of the shopping stores you can make your own character quarters or pressed pennies. We pack our quarters in the mini M&M's tube containers. They are very easy to pack and quarters are not all loose in your backpack. Each container can hold about $14.00 worth of quarters. You can also store your pennies in a tube. Thanks to John for this tip!
After you park your car at one of the Disney World parks, take a photo of the designated name where your car is located. I use my cell phone to take the pic and when I leave I have a visual location of where I parked my car. Thanks to Fran for this tip!
If you are planning to go to WDW at the end of October, be prepared for evening showers. It's a good idea to take your own poncho if you find one under $5 dollars. Of course when it rains all the stores take out all the ponchos so you can buy it there, and if you don't really care, buy the ones that have no Mickey
