Disneyworld advice?

I struck up a conversation with a security guard at Universal and next thing I knew we're the "Lights Motors Action Dream Family of the Day", introducing the show with the hosts, in VIP seating, and on the jumbo video screen during the show.

Wow, that's sweet - good tip!

I just IM'd that site to my wife.  She calls back 3 minutes later after having pulled it up and says, "Holy crap - where do I start?"    :laugh2:

ChadTower:

Yeah, it's odd that you have to tell people "don't be a dick" and then tell them that they'll get cool stuff as a result, but that's just how people tend to be on vacation.  This technique resulted in many free Speed Passes for us at Disney, especially at Space Mountain and the Buzz Lightyear ride.

Be sure to see Fantasmic.  Wrap your schedule for the day around it.  People line up for hours ahead of time for good seats.

Don't even waste your time with some of the Disney Parks, like Animal Kingdom. Make sure you definately go to Islands of Adventure. It's the best theme park I have ever attended.

Also.. Pleasure Island is lots of fun to go to if you don't have any kids to worry about on your trip.

More Cowbell:
I was really surprised how great Islands of Adventure was. Spider-Man was hands down the best ride I have ever been on. Good tips on treating the cast members right. I worked at Disneyland for 4 years when I was in college and I can certainly attest to the usual abuse.

Buddabing:
Two words. Fast Pass.
