  • Get a Fastpass for Toy Story Midway Mania as soon as you arrive at Disney's Hollywood Studios.  The attraction is very popular and can run out of Fastpasses by 12pm.
     

  • Unlike other counter service locations, drink refills are free at the Backlot Express Restaurant at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
     

  • Fastpasses for most attractions can be used anytime during the day after the starting time.  For example, a Fastpass for 11:00am - 12:00pm can be used from 11:00am until park closing.
     

  • If you are a Beatles' Fan, be sure to catch the British Invasion cover band at EPCOT.  Each show is from a different era of the Beatles.
     

  • Use the single rider line on some of the most popular attractions to dramatically decrease wait time.  It is available at Rock N Roller Coaster, Expedition Everest, Test Track, and Mission: Space.
     

  • To avoid paying for parking at Disney, try taking the Disney resort buses.  Park at Downtown Disney (in the lot in front of Planet Hollywood) and just hop a Disney bus to any resort then get a connecting bus/monorail into the park of our choice. We didn’t pay a penny for parking and got from Planet Hollywood to the park in under 20 minutes.  Thanks to Matt for this tip!
     

  • The last time we went to Disney World we asked the monorail captain when was the least crowded time to go. He said the last two weeks of September are the least crowded of the whole year!  Thanks to Melissa for this tip!
     

  • When going to Animal Kingdom, make sure you make reservations for breakfast that are before the park opens. That way you get into the park way early and get first in line onto awesome rides :)  P.S: MAKE SURE that you do that on a day the park doesn't open early for some guests :)  Thanks to Giraffegirl126 for this tip!
     

  • After you park your car, take a photo of the designated name where your car is located. I use my cell phone to take the pic and when I leave I have a visual location of where I parked my car.  Thanks to Fran for this tip!
     

  • Save money at counter service restaurants throughout the parks by requesting the entree without the sides.  By ordering a sandwich without the fries, you can often save over $2!
