FOR THE RECORD IM OBSESSED WITH DISNEY AND I AM THE ULTIMATE DISNEY FANATIC AND NOT TO MENTION I GO THERE EVERY YEAR ON VACATION EVEN THOUGH I WORK THERE..AND..I AM THE DISNEY EXPERT..SO YOU CAN COME TO ME FOR TIPS AND ADVICE
DO NOT make very popular rides like Test Track in EPCOT your first stop.If you plan to go back during the night..or plan to stay there the whole day..go on the rides when the fireworks (in this case Illuminations:Reflections of Earth..(it could also be parades..depends the park)) are going on because most of the park is going to be watching it.
If you want nice comfortable but affordable hotel,chose Pop Century Resort (it is called a "Value Resort" near Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex.Their cheapest standard/luxury rooms cost 82$ Per-Day. If you would like to see more about this resort AND its pricing click this link http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/resorts/pop-century-resort/rates-rooms/
Take advantage of Disney's Magical Express Transportation! This is a bus that transports you from your Orlando International Airport to your Disney Resort and BACK they day you come home.You skip right through Baggage Claim and go right to the Welcome Center..then you go in the line and wait for your bus and your luggage will be in your room in 3 hours (AFTER YOUR CHECK IN!). If you would like to read more about it..click the link http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/planning-guides/in-depth-advice/airport-service/
Also,take advantage of the Disney Dining Plan (DDP).You get Walk Ups,Sit Downs and Snacks.You can also get things that people without DDP cant get! And Its a really great deal! Once Again,if you would like to know more..click the link http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/planning-guides/in-depth-advice/disney-dining-plan/
So thats really it! Thank You so much for taking the time to read this! There will be more posts from me!

Disney World Tips?
If you want dinner at a sit down go for the latest time you can find. 15 minutes to park close is best. Seriously best time to relax to a nice meal and have a great stroll out of the park without any crowds.
All meal reservations can be made as early as 180 days prior to the date. It is really necessary to make advanced reservations to the more popular restaurants such as Le Cellier in Epcot and the Castle in the Magic Kingdom.
The best time to go to Disney World is around Thanksgiving. All the seasonal shows are going on and the crowds are quite light. If you can avoid it do not go in the summer. The heat in Florida is rather intimidating and the crowds are heavy not to mention those damn Brazilians that swarm the parks and have no manners.
The Disney Bus Transportation on property is a fantastic option. No hustle and bustle of getting a parking spot and using a tram to get to the entrance.
Downtown Disney is one of the best places to go on Disney Property if your on a budget. The restaurants are wonderful and there is plenty to do. Most of the time you with find street entertainers that will be even more enhanced with the new rebuilding of Pleasure Island. Not to mention this is the home of Disney Quest and the La Nouba: Cirque Du Soleil Show.

Ten years... I'm sure a lot has changed since I went there.
But some things are true for all the parks; like short lines will be during parades and shows... of course if you want to watch said parade or show then...
Guess what?
Fastpass it your friend!
Use it, use it, use it!
Remember the word...
Fastpass...
Yesssssssssssss.
Sorry I'm a little random today.

Sadly, I don't ever see myself going to Disney World ever. I'm poor and live too far way. It'd end up costing a lot more because of the stupid trip there and back. D: Ugh, I really want to go and get my picture taken with Mickey!

Use it, use it, use it! Remember the word... Fastpass... Yesssssssssssss. Sorry I'm a little random today. There is actually talk of a new Fastpass system. You will be able to make a time reservation for some of the more busy rides online before even getting to the park.

Sounds a bit like the one for Alton Towers over here in the UK. [I actually haven't been to that park yet but I know it has a system similar to that]. Thing is you have to pay extra... and its quite expensive too.

Thing is you have to pay extra... and its quite expensive too. I highly doubt there would be an extra change for it. Disney understands it's customer base too well for that not to mention the tours that you pay premium for is what you will go for if you want more privileges.

Really? My dad and I run there first when the park opens and get fast passes. Of course, we normally go late April, early May. So it's not too crowded. But yeah, that's another good idea ^-^ Fast passes are great for those cool rides/attractions. Also good idea for Soarin'. What we do is get fast passes for Test Track then run to Soarin' and get on that. ^-^sunflo000 If you want nice comfortable but affordable hotel,chose Pop Century Resort (it is called a "Value Resort" near Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex.Their cheapest standard/luxury rooms cost 82$ Per-Day. If you would like to see more about this resort AND its pricing click this link http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/resorts/pop-century-resort/rates-rooms/
We normally stay at Port Orleans, Riverside. That's our favorite place. It's good and affordable for a family of 5 ^-^ (I'm not sure about the details for the finances though, that's normally my mom's department sweatdrop
sunflo000 Take advantage of Disney's Magical Express Transportation!

My family and I stay at Riverside, so we normally get something to eat then head down to the boats and take a boat ride to DownTown Disney for the first night. It's really nice and relaxing. Oh and I totally suggest T-Rex to everyone. It's like Rainforest Cafe only with dinosaurs and a HUGE fish tank. With a meteor shower that happens every...30 mins I think...I'm not sure....XDsunflo000 Also,take advantage of the Disney Dining Plan (DDP).You get Walk Ups,Sit Downs and Snacks.You can also get things that people without DDP cant get!

Yes yes yes!! ^-^ Best thing ever! It's a lot of food too! So when you leave for home and still have a lot of Snacks and such left, you can purchase snacks for home. Or cute little Mickey Rice-Crispy Treats for the little ones back at home. ^-^sunflo000 So thats really it! Thank You so much for taking the time to read this! There will be more posts from me!
Hope to see you around the parks! ^-^

Oh man, these are all great tips. I loved working at WDW; it was such hard work, but so enjoyable. There really is no place like it.
I have a few extra tips: Florida is hot AND humid pretty much all the time, but especially during the summer months. If you're planning to take a vacation to WDW (which I encourage, by the way!), make sure you plan accordingly for the sun. Wear comfortable, stable shoes you don't mind standing in for extended periods of time. Bring frozen water bottles with you, and pay attention to yourself and any young kids. If you start to feel sick in the sun, or if your head starts to spin, that's an indication that you need to take a breather. Heat exhaustion is a doozy.
Also, I heard something about an app Disney created that might be helpful to park goers. I can't confirm it myself, so if someone else could that would be great, but apparently Disney has an app that will monitor ride times and the like for you. So you'll know before you trek halfway across the park if a ride's out of order. ^_~

Whaaaat I just got back from Disney World....Sunday, and it was there. I'm sure of it lol
They did re-do it the insides though....(which I didn't actually go IN the store last week) So I'm not quite sure...I would think they would wake Tink, I know you had to be picked. SO basically whoever comes to the door first gets to wake Tink....

Ahhhh yet another worker!!!!!!
I must go work there someday!!!
I agree with the sun conditions. I just came back a few days ago, and I had sun poisoning during my stay....So I had to wear long sleeve shirts and a nice big hat!
I know that from August to.....October-ish, is hurricane season....you get great prices, but you also have to deal with the disgusting humidity and lots of rain lol
(It was actually pretty fun during Hurricane Francis)
And the Disney app is for Verizon, which I don't have, but I have seen a lot of people using it.
(we don't really need it, we just get to the park early when it opens then have my dad run to the rides we want first to get fast passes. While we wait for the fast passes we shop and walk around the areas most people aren't in yet considering they all went to the big rides.)
OVERALL, THE BEST PLACE ON EARTH! I wish I could work there someday and eventually work as an animator for Disney ^-^

Haha, Hurricane season is pretty bad. XD The best time weather-wise to go is probably February - April.

Oooh I really want to work there!!!!! I've been to Disney World 14 times so I know some basics of the park and such...
My family and I go from the end of April to early May....so it's really pretty during that time.
Now that I'm out of school, I should hope I go during that time ^-^
Yep Verizon ^_^
And thank yew! It's definitely one of my biggest dreams.
