tips for the World

[kwitcherkicken99]

So my parents are taking DS (3) and Dneph(3) for FD in September. Staying at All Star Movies.I'm trying to compile a list of tips to give them. No itineraries, just good places to eat, places to stand for parades and fireworks (thanks Robo!!!), and all around things not to overlook.Here is my list so far:• Movie night at All Star resorts: call resort to find times. Movies are shown at the pool area at All Star Music• Hall of Presidents should be reopened, but Space Mountain is closed for refurbishment.• Characters are tucked in side streets (Peter Pan, Captain Hook, Capt. Jack Sparrow - Adventureland) at MK and in the World Showcase in EP (Mary Poppins, princesses). • We watched Wishes fireworks from the Tomorrowland bridge, but if you go on a night where Spectromagic is running before Wishes, you’ll have to find a spot where you can see both.• There are Baby Care Centers at each park but I doubt you’ll need them.• Good CS places to eat: AK – Pizzafari, Flame Tree BBQ - EP: Sunshine Seasons – MK: Pinocchio Village Haus, Casey’s, Columbia Harbor House• There is a little show at “Rope Drop” at AK and MK at the park opening each day.• Train doesn’t run during fireworks or parades at MK.• Pooh and Tigger greeting spot is across from Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (Fantasyland – old Toad ride). And it gets bumpy so be careful• Snow White ride may be a little much for the boys• Some people cover the automatic sensor (with post its) on the toilets for little kids – I guess the automatic flusher can frighten some kids.• Boys will be able to drive the Indy cars, you and dad will have to push the pedals though• Boys will be okay on the Safari at AK. Again, it’s bumpy in places so be careful. The boys will have to sit in the middle of you two.What am I forgetting? I know there is TONS! FYI, they're going for 5 days and NOT going to DHS.

That's a great list. Here's a few more:

* 3d shows are LOUD and can also be scary...especially It's Tough to be a Bug at AK ---Philharmagic at MK is excellent, tho!

* bring a personal sized collapsible cooler bag and keep stocked w/snacks and water and juice and sippy cups....it is sometimes hard to find juice when you need it. snacks come in handy in lines or waiting for shows.

Crystal Palace with Pooh and Friends is a nice meal. Good food and not crazy like some of the others.

Strollers will help you out for three year olds.

Hollywood Studios- Toy Story is a must. GO early and get a fast pass for your second time on it.

Magic Kingdom- Astro Orbirtor made spun kind of fast, made my dh and myself a little sick. Kids did fine.

Stritch Great Escape- might be slightly scary. Lights go out to complete darkness.

Glow sticks from the dollar store are great or just remember to bring your light up toy back at night to get moneys worth.
