Umm.. I know this sounds sad... but I'm going to Disneyworld for the first time next week.

Suggestions? Tips? The sorts?

Thanks!

Oh God, where do I start? Laughing

-Bring an umbrella cause Florida has screwy weather.
-Fast past stuff as much as possible.
-If you don't want to pay the prices for all that food, stop at the walmart right outside of Orlando and pick up on food and stuff like that to keep in your hotel. It saves a lot of money.
-Do a lot of the popular and big attractions early in the morning because the lines can get super long.

For Aladdin related activites:
-GO SEE PHILARMAGIC!!! Ours is the best because it feels like you are flying through Agrabah because of how they have the wind blowing in your face.
-Go to Adventureland located inside of The Magic Kingdom, go ride the magic carpets, shop at the bazaar, go see Iago in the Enchanted Tiki Room *ducks from Kirsten*, and if you are there at a good time, go take a picture with Jasmine, Aladdin and Jafar. There's this Cinderella show that takes place in front of the castle with Genie and Jafar in it. After the show, Genie comes out for you to take pictures with him. If he comes out in the same spot as before, immediately after the show, go to the right near the little pagoda thing. You know it when you see it. I did that and was second in line. Booyah! Laughing

-Aladdin and Jafar is in the magic kingdom parade in the day and Genie is in the spectro magic parade at night.
-If you go to MGM studios, Aladdin and Jasmine are in the car parade there.
-They are also in Morrocco (which I order you to go to Laughing

) at Epcot. You'll feel like you are walking through Agrabah, I swear.
-You can also go to the virtual magic carpet ride at Downtown Disney, but it costs like 25 bucks to get in to the whole thing.

If you want to catch all the shows in the Animal Kingdom with no waiting around, go to the first showing of The Festival of the Lion King, then head over to Pocahontas (if you want to see it. It's rather boring and meant for 3 year olds. My 14 year old sister still owes me 25 minutes of life for making me sit through that.), and then run over to Tarzan Rock (which is the sweetest thing ever). All of these should be first showings.

Oh, and go to the night shows. They are awesome. Go see Wishes! Just go...do stuff Laughing

*sigh* I've never been there either. I've never really gone anywhere...No where out of Canada-even. I'm not what one would call, "rich". I'll probably never go until after collage and stuff...

But I used to have a friend that's been there and she had a book of autographs...*shifty eyes* Oh! Hug the dude who's playing Aladdin for me! Razz

Have fun!

Heehee! I know that place like a lived there or something!

*cricket chirp*

Laughing

Hmmm... my best advice...

-Don't miss Fantasmic at Disney-MGM Studios. AWESOME show, one of the best on property! But do get there early, like they reccommend. I'd say at least half an hour, maybe close to an hour before showtime if you want the best seats

-At Pirates of the Caribbean, when you first go into the building, the line may split in two. If the left side is not chained off, go that way. I've walked past a half hour wait before because people don't know the left side is there. Laughing

-At EPCOT, don't miss Illuminations! That's the best fireworks show I've ever seen. Catchy music, and very impressive synched fireworks.

-The shortest line to meet Mickey that I know of is at Disney-MGM Studios, on Mickey Avenue. Even during the busy summer, the longest I ever waited was about 20 minutes. He's usually in his Sorcerer outfit there, too, or at least he was when I was there.

-At Animal Kingdom, try to do Kilimanjaro Safaris earlier in the morning. Lines are shorter, and the animals tend to be a bit more active. That's true for a lot of the Animal Kingdom stuff - during the heat of the day, the animals tend to doze off, so that's the best time to do the rides and shows. Smile

And I second AG's reccommendation for Tarzan Rocks. The in-line skaters are awesome! Smile

Festival of the Lion King is pretty impressive, too.

-Definitely see SpectroMagic at the Magic Kingdom. Such a gorgeous parade! As AG mentioned, Genie's in it as well. But the music from that parade still being tears to my eyes... *glimmering, shimmering, carouseling*

Those are the big ones off the top of my head. If you're wondering about anything specific, ask away! I did just about everything in the parks over the course of the year that I worked there. Smile

ahhh I want to go to DW! Crying or Very sad

Our band director won't let us go to Florida anymore because of what happened the last time. People passed out.

but it was because they were wearing choir robes and band uniforms! Rolling Eyes

That ruined my Aladdin experience. I never got to go!

I told my mom though, that if we ever go, that she was going to take me to meet Aladdin.
