You can have a personal guide at any of the parks. I've seen them before, in their cute little plaid skirts and caps. I believe it is about $150 an hour, with a minimum of six hours. You have a personal escort, who will also get you fastpasses and help plan your day (it's NOT an automatic front of the line service) but I think you do get special reserved seating for shows and parades. I'd like to do this once!!!

we did this a couple of years ago and it was well worth it! Our guide was calle summer I think and she was great, she had loads of infor and got us fast passes for everything, plus the parade seating was great too

The Yacht/Beach Club and Old Key West both have horticultural tours of the resort grounds one day a week. They're free. Inquire at guest services at the resort.

Last year we went into Town Hall to make dinner res. and then they gave Dh and I buttons that said we were Honoray Citizen of WDW Resort and when we
walked out of Town Hall the Mayor was there. He put Dh's on so I could get a picture.

...Once it was in Janaury and it was 'cold' for the locals (hello we're from MA 50s is spring) and I stepped on the stone and it rained and the people walking by got a little cool spray. I just smiled and said GOOD MORNING!! I'M SINGING IN THE RAIN!

Diddo on that one! We went last November and it was chilly for us Mass people (low 40s) but we chugged on, in the middle of people wearing winter coats! But hey, getting through the weather is half the fun!

I see the birthday buttons have been mentioned, I just wanted to note that they say it does not have to actually be your bday, just that you are *celebrating* your birthday. We go every year to celebrate my and my ds bday, but sometimes the trip does not fall on the actual bday.
Also, they have a ton of different pins, on CM gave us some for a family reunion with the Incredibles on them because we had our matching Incredibles shirts on.

If you time it right, you can get on the launch from fort wilderness back to MK during Wishes, and get to see it from the water - HOW AMAZING - even better than from CG. We had one of the best magical evenings at FW, pony ride, hoop-de-doo, then a wagon ride, then the launch back. A nice break from the park and still wonderful.

This is one of those "not so secrets" but there is a lot of things you can do at the barbershop at the beginning of main street. Baby's 1st haircut is the big one, but they will also do up a kids hair with sparkles and color - not sure of the price.

And this isn't an "official" thing, but we bought my son the mickeys hands one year, and all day long cm and characters came up to slap him five, and during the parade almost every character made a point to come over to him to do the same. It was crazy! Now we bring them back with us every year, it was a great investment LOL

Where in Epcot can you get the oyster with a pearl?

We're off at the crack of dawn tomorrow and just about dying with anticipation!

I'd like to know this too. Is it in the gift shop at Japan?

Wow I just finished reading all the tip and ideas. I got some new ones for our trip in a few weeks.

My DS is excited for the Chip and Dale sing a long. They are his favorite characters. We already had that one planned after our HDDR dinner.

You can get a free plastic robot if you do the Plastic Works thing at Innovations.

This is one of our favorite things to do, and we totally stumbled upon it one trip. We get our FP for TT, then head on over to the robots... Then we have to carry the doggone things around the rest of the day..I can usually get Mouse Gear to give me a bag at least. We must have 20 of them by now.
