Right, there is no rope drop at IOA. The order you queue up at the gate is the order you enter the park. As you walk down the main drag, you can go left to Hulk, or right to Suess Landing. Next to Confisco is the Backwater Bar, which is also located next to bathrooms. This is a good...

Try to arrive the hotel early if you can. The line for check in is short at this time. Agree on the advice about arriving the parks early. Many people like to sleep in since they're on vacation, but it's better to wake up and get going. During busy times, the park will open early at...

I tell everyone to go at 11:30am for lunch.

Don't have photos, but the kennel is nice. I think it's $12 a day, and free for AP holders. The kennel is located at the corner of the north parking garage, so you have to pay to park, then follow a separate line that leads to the entrance. They have big cages outside that are covered by...

End of August will have light crowds. The kids are back in school.

You don't have too, but it makes your visit much better, even if you have FOTL. Here's a few advantages to arriving early, even with FOTL. 1. Front seat rides on the coasters. 2. Walk ways are less crowded until 11am. 3. Not as hot out. 4. FOTL waits are shorter. Let's say you...

She'll like hanging out at the hotel or shopping at CW. Best to go alone. I've found this is a good way to visit parks, flying solo. You can go where you want, when you want. Your plan would be to visit the parks in the morning, crowds are light. Order in pizza, or have lunch at a...

There's nothing within walking distance offsite to the RPR. It's about a 20 minute walk over a bridge leading to I-Drive. You could order pizza in from Flippers, and be sure to stock the cooler. I have a couple sites up, lots of choices along I-Drive and Kirkman Road. Publix I-Drive

The stories up above are what is usually posted in this forum. Disney fanatics who have been brainwashed taking their kids year after year starting at an early age. The brainwashing starts when the kids are babies because most parents make the baby room mostly Disney. The cycle continues...

The coasters run faster at night because they warm up during the day. Ask any coaster fan and they'll tell you coasters run best at night.

Go at 11:30am when they open. Take a lap around IOA going clockwise. You'll end up at Mythos around 11am. If you get there early, go watch the fountain or go thru Posidens Fury. Most people wait until noon until their stomach tells them they're hungry. Then everyone visits the...

It took 2 months to bring her back to Orlando from Alabama. That's why we didn't hear about the story in May.

Agree, the 7 day ticket is just a gimmick to make people stay longer. You really only need 3 full days to see USF/IOA. A few people have visited taking their time, hanging out at the pool, going super slow. That can be done, but I'd say you'll want to visit SWF, BGT, and WnW. The other...

The argument from the OP sounds good, but won't hold up. Meaning there will still be Disney fanatics who are brainwashed. Why? Because Disney starts at the baby age. Babies grow up in Disney rooms. They visit the parks when the kids turn 2-4, and keep going back year after year. The...

Need more info about your plans. Are you staying onsite? Renting a car? If you need more parks, there's Sea World of Florida (SWF) and Busch Gardens Tampa (BGT) you can visit. Plus there's Wet N' Wild (WnW) you can do one morning. You could also visit Discovery Cove which is an all...

From what I've seen on these boards, the morning at the parks is fine. It's the night time events (especially Citywalk) that get packed beyond belief. You need tickets to attend the NYE party at Citywalk. Honestly, if I was going for NYE, I'd visit the parks early in the morning...

For any attraction you mention, there will be a handful of people who say it is their favorite. I'd also vote Twister and Earthquake because the pre-show is so long and they're not really rides. I usually walk right by them on the way to The Mummy and MIB. Earthquake seems to be the next...

Sounds good. When you arrive before the opening time, everything works out. A few people will argue they're on vacation and want to sleep in. I don't get it. If you've traveled from far away, and want to get on all the rides with no wait, you'd think people would wake up early. Yet most...

Some of the Disney people are brainwashed. They visit year after year, and it becomes a cult thing. A way to prove themselves because they only visit Disney and do all the commando things (like staying all day even when the kids are zonked out). It starts when they take their kids year...

Arrive early for everything. In the summer time, the park opens early, but they don't officially post it. Be at the gate at 08:00am even if you have FOTL. You can knock out Marvel Island in 15 minutes if you go in first, and you can get front seat rides on the coasters. Eat lunch at...
