Disney Florida - booked, what can you tell me that will make life easier?

[tranquilgardens]

Hi, I have booked this for the winter, just me and the two secondary school age children. We are staying in a disney hotel. Park tickets booked for Disney, the waterparks and Harry Potter!

What practical things make life easier?

What sort of spends do you need for extra's?

many thanks

i bought this book and followed the instructions and it made life so much more easier. It tells you when to go in the day and manipulate the queues - following its advice when had minimum waiting times in August.

The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World 2011 (Unofficial Guides)
Go early morning [ not possible for us - we love to sleep in] or later in the day due to the heat

I would also wholeheartedly recommend that book!

If you can drive, hire a car, it is so much easier than relying on public transport and quite reasonable.

Definitely get to The Harry Potter World of Wizarding as early as possible! It gets very busy very quickly.

Eat outside of the parks when you can to save money, the prices inside are inflated.
