Okay, I've been to WDW several times, read the DL guides, read the DL articles here and I have a few questions...
Food in the parks: can you take stuff in? I thought I read here that they were more sticky than at DL. At WDW we've brought in a little soft-sided cooler with lots of food in it. Then I read in Fodors or Birnbaums that you can bring in snacks. For those in the know, what's the general rule of thumb here? Can we bring in water bottles?
Fantasmic: do you need to reserve seats? I've read about people reserving seats. Can you really see it well somewhere with unreserved seats? If so, where's a good spot?
Parking: We are going to drive to the park in the a.m. rather than staying nearby. We're using dh's hotel points to stay for free and there weren't great options in walking distance. I know at WDW, the parking opened about an hour before the park but I read that DL parking opens closer to park open time. Is this true? When does it open? We'll only be staying about 6 miles away.
Park opening: is there any kind of special park opening at DL? We're used to the Welcome Show at MK at WDW. Is there something similar at DL?
Is DTD worth a visit? We've never been to DTD in Orlando. Do you pay to park at DTD?
I think I know the major differences. Are there any more subtle differences that I might not catch from a guidebook but really should know?
Thanks!!!!!
