Disney

"The tips we found most valuable and things we discovered on our own:

1) Buy the Unofficial Guide to WDW before you leave and plan your days - which parks you'll go to on which days, where you'll eat at night, which fireworks whow you'll go see etc. (even if you like to live a little more spontaneously, do this, because it will make your life easier - you'll spend more time having fun and less time on line and waiting to eat)

2) Make Priority Seating reservations BEFORE you leave for dining

3) Use Fastpass to avoid waiting in line for the most popular rides

4) Use Disney's babysitting clubs/camps ($10/hr) and take an Adult night out and treat yourself to dinner and Cirque Du Soleil - fantastic show worth every penny (get seats on 2nd tier center, not down low)

5) Ask for a fridge in your room and stock up on breakfast foods, water and snack foods to save money and hunting around when hungry

6) Check schedules at each park for showtimes/character greetings and plan your day at that park around those times - hit parks when they open for fewer people/lines"
