We stayed across the water from downtown disney. When you go to magic kingdom l, park at epcot and take the rail system. Easier in and out, less traffic etc.

My uncle lives in Orlando and they have season passes and go a ton so we got alot of little tips.

Get a room that's a suite, go to the grocery store for breakfast food and sandwiches, water etc. Take a cooler in the park for that stuff. Get up, go early, do some stuff and go back to your room over lunch, then go back in the evening. It's super crowded and hot during the day.

I'll post more if I think of anything
This is actually good advice.......not sure I agree with the "don't go cheap part" but that is just a matter of opinion.

solid advice

i'm a big proponent of on property, even thought it looks crazy expensive, when you work out the transportation cost (if you rent), daily parking, magical express, numerous on-site perks, it's worth the extra $ and not as much as it seems

also, the split days, hit the parks early, break, head back in evenings, are truly key to enjoying a long trip during hot weather!!

we are headed to port orleans riverside late next week. this is typical of our timing for trips, right after our schools get out, but before many other areas of the country, including florida. it's pretty busy over the memorial weekend, then settles down quickly.

general research, the disboards are great, my wife lives there like we do here. also, mousesavers.com is very good too. plan ahead and look for discount codes for rooms or dining plans if you want that.

I've always used the DisBoards just to chat with others about their experiences, find out what things are being serviced, and what little tips that the average Disney traveler may not know.

One thing I am curious about....do the resorts still do the "Find The Hidden Mickeys" for the kids?

i dont know if the resorts do, but there is a tour in magic kingdom still. my son when he was younger bought a book that tipped where to look, he and i went on an adventure for a couple hours while my wife and daughter went to play girl stuff for awhile, we had a good time on our own w/out the tour.

Its the best way and you are in complete control of your planning. Trust me you don't want to leave it in the hands of another boards travel agent. Deal directly with disney. They won't steer you wrong.

I have five trips under my belt now so if you have any questions at all just ask.

Start on their current deals page first.

My parents took us in 2012. Both boys were under 10 at the time. Best advice I can give is go in February. No lines for anything and it was not nuts-sticking-to-your-thigh hot. We wore shorts and t-shirts the entire time. I think we had one day where shorts and a sweatshirt were appropriate.

Good advice, though probably not for the week that includes President's Day, when I assume the place is insane due to public school vacation week.

They are included in the price of your ticket. Not an extra cost. There are still people that think there is a fee for them. Amazes me.
