What worked great on our trip: ADVICE

[DisMomRN]

What I would do/bring again:
1) Brought snacks from home- kept hungry kids happy on planes, ride lines,etc.
2) Priceline for rental minivan
3) Stay at Vistana villages-ressie w/ hotel kingdom.com
4) Search for discount airfares 6 mos. in advance (189 RT with Travelocity from Denver to Orlando)
5) Cheap rain ponchos from Kmart ($1 each)
6) Fanny pack with 2 water bottles on the side (Walmart)
7) Buy passes before you leave, use discounts
8) Bring mist fans!!
9) Disposable cameras for your kids- Great pictures from a kid's perspective!
10) Buy camera film a little each month before you go
11)Be alert and don't rush: Disney magic will pop up when you least expect it!
12) Mid day break or come home early evening from parks; no one will enjoy themselves if they're too tired or their feet hurt.

Keep mist fans out of the hands of children. They are not toys and not everyone wants to be sprayed by your kids. Frankly if I had my way the darn things would be banned. Had a kid spray my scooter control panel quite heavily and the cost to repair the damage was not cheap plus the cost of renting a replacement for my own and the hassles associated with that.
Wet electronics are not pleasant
