    We've been to WDW 13 times. The Pop Century is fabulous! You can buy a mug in the food court that you can refill for free throughout your stay. You're staying for a nice long time. That's what we like to do too. Buying water or other drinks gets expensive. Bring your own water bottles & fill them with water before you go to the parks. We bring Pop Tarts, English Muffins, & other boxes of small muffins for breakfast. The food court has toasters & microwave. We bring snacks for the parks & microwave popcorn. Check out the WDW website & plan as much as you can & use Fast Passes (free) to save time. You will have to hurry & make dining reservations because they fill up fast. If you are using Disney transportation leave a little earlier if you are dining at a resort, since you'll need to change buses at the Transportation & Ticket Center. since you are staying on site you can use the Extra Magic Hours. We don't go to the parks with the early openings, because they tend to get crowded, but we do stay late, since the crowds thin out.

    Here's a list of our Favorite Dining Places. I'll just list everything, since I don'tknow the ages of the people in your party. SD=Sit Down (need reservations). FF=Fast Food.

    Magic Kingdom

    The Crystal Palace-SD (My favorite)

    Columbia Harbour House-FF

    Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe-FF

    El Pirata y el Perico Restaurant-FF (great tacos-only open for lunch)

    Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe-FF(you can get their food or go to the smoked turkey leg stand across the way & bring it in here to eat)

    Tomorrowland Terrace Noodle Station

    Epcot

    Coral Reef Restaurant

    In the World Showcase we like U.K., Canada, France, Mexico, Morocco-SD

    The fast food places that are good there are: Lotus Blossum Cafe, & La Cantina De San Angel. Norway & France have great bakeries.

    The Electric Umbrella Restaurant-FF

    Disney's Hollywood Studios

    ABC Commissary-FF

    Toy Story Pizza Planet-FF

    Animal Kingdom

    Restaurantosaurus-FF

    Rainforest Cafe-SD (there is also one Downtown Disney)

    Disney World is the most magical place on Earth! You really can't do it all in one trip.

    Tip #1: Take you time with what you do. I was told to take one full day for Epcot's World Showcase; and I thought Ohh I can do it in half a day. No. I was wrong. There is sooooo much to do in the World Showcase. Interesting fact: Everyone in the country your in is from that country. It is fun just to listen to people speaking French, or with a British accent.

    Tip #2: In downtown Disney you'll see a hot air balloon that is tethered to the ground. You can actually take a ride in it; up at the top you can see everything, the Castle, the Tower of Terror, even the Animal Kingdom Tree of Life! It's only like $16. If you can go during firework time, we haven't done this but heard it's beautiful!

    Tip #3: Buy the Hidden Mickey's book. It's supposed to be for people who are dead on looking for hidden mickey's, but when you have to wait up to 3 hours for your favorite ride, searching for Hidden Mickey's are really fun!

    Tip #4: Make dinner reservations. If you want to eat at the 50's cafe or something that has really good reviews, make a reservation. Trust me, you will want to. I spent over an hour in the hpone and I got reservations at the norwayrestaurantt (which by the way has great food if you want to spend a little more cash)

    Okay, that is going to be lengthy... First of all, Disney World is the excellent situation ever and you'll adore it. The first choice is wherein to stick. There are over thirty hotels at the Dinsey Property and also you definitly must keep in one among them. That method, you do not ought to hire a auto nd get by way of the HORRIBLE visitors and waste time at the same time spending plenty on gasoline. Each Disney lodge has transportation via bus to the entire parks. And while you get there, you do not ought to stroll the MILES to get from the car parking zone to the park. The bus dropps you off on the entrance gate. There are 3 classifications of Disney motels. Value hotels are the cheepest, slight are in-among, and deluxe are high priced. For significance hotels, there are ONLY 2 offerings (colossal shock) Disney's All-Star Resorts or Disney's Pop Century Resort. Stay at Pop Century. It is more recent, in the direction of the movement, and has extra busses. If you wish a slight hotel, opt for Port Orleans. It has 2 sections, Riverside and French Quarter. Riverside has a larger retailer, a restaurant, a larger meals court docket and more room. French Quarter has smaller the whole thing and no eating place. If you are gonna move deluxe, keep on the Polynesian. It has acess to the Magic Kingdom via boat and monorail and has nice themeing. The busiest park is the Magic Kingdom, with the opposite 3 in a tie for moment. BUT, Epcot is designed in some way that you do not realize the crowds. Animal Kingdom as good. The Hollywood Studios is distinctive, it is rather tight and slender, so appears and feels very crowded. Make definite you get FASTPASS for each and every trip that presents it. You can do that via putting in place your enterence price ticket right into a desktop external the trip. The desktop will produce a small price ticket with a "trip time". EXAMPLE: you set it within the desktop at nine:00, it's going to say: trip among 10:15 and eleven:15. Then, any time among 10:15 and eleven:15, you'll be able to trip it with little to no ready! It's awsoume! There also are 2 water parks, Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon. If you prefer thrills, Blizzard Beach. If you prefer wave swimming pools, meals, and surroundings, move to Typhoon Lagoon. Character foods are a have got to, the excellent of that is on the Contemporary Resort, and is known as Chef Mickey's. Downtown Disney is the night time membership, eating place, browsing, and all-round leisure problematic. It is a have got to-see and has plenty to present. There shall be no stars that week, however one would possibly exhibit up. Probably at Magic Kingdom or Hollwood Studios. I desire you could have amusing, Disney World is anything you simply ought to do as soon as on your existence!

    I agree, the Pop Century is great! I stayed their in June of 2008. Try their frozen Cokes!

    You're staying at a Disney Resort, so you can use the Extra Magic Hours. For evening EMH, the park maybe crowded until the EMH begin, then it thins out.

    Check out Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. It's a seperate ticketed event, but well worth it.
