Disney World Summary
Mornings, right when the park is open is the time with the least lines. We theorized that this was due to the fact that kids can be hard to wake up in the morning.
Service at Disney World, ranged from excellent, all the way down to fairly poor. We had excellent service and the Bistro de Paris and there was a girl who when we got change for the penny pressing machines, picked out all the shiney ones to give 'em to us. But then there was also the incident where I was basically chastised for not talking loud enough. Overall though, the service was better then average.
Even though they say to hit the shops on the way out, that can end up costing a lot of money...but it does avoid the rushes for the bus.
Be prepared to walk. A lot.
Wet shoes suck to walk in (Kali River Rapids was the only time we got soaked).
Everything is overpriced. 20 oz of Water was $2.50. And since Disney apprently has a contract with coke, the only water that was availble was Dasani (which has salt in it).
Make reservations for eating at sit down places on the weekend (Friday through Sunday, this is during off peak times).
Some of the sit down meals aren't so good. Most of them were places that were good, but not great. Bistro de Paris was an exception, the food was excellent. The Sci-Fi Dine in theater was...well..way overpriced, and not that good (bread was dry mixture of foods were...well...very plain).
Planet Hollywood sucks! The food is bad, the service is ok, and the prices are way to high.
If you take pictures, make sure you have a place to off load your digital pictures to. Although we took more then the average, I suspect, we still had to empty our camera every day and sometimes twice in a day.
Lines for taking pictures with the Disney charecters build quickly, so if you see a short line and want a picture, take it.
There are lots of kids....lots of them...everywhere.
