Can someone answer a couple of questions for me?
Can we bring coolers into the park? If so, is there some place to store them, such as a large locker or whatever?
Also, do you have to pay to park? if so, any idea how much it is?
Thanks! |
Big coolers are a no-no. They discourage you from bringing any food into the park, and they check your bags. But you can pack lunches/snacks and they will let them in. No glass containers.
lockers are available- several sizes.
I'm sure they charge to park, but I don't know how much. We always fly in and stay on Disney property.
Don't miss the "Talk to Crush" show in the "Seas" pavilion at Epcot. You ride the clamshells ride, then go to the back of the large display room after you exit the ride. Very cool for your kids. Do it several times, it's always different.
There is also a comedy game show in the west innoventions pavilion. Just funny shtick by a couple of college kids. Buy your kids a starter pin trading set. Every Disney employee will trade anything they have on their lanyard with whatever you want to trade. It'a a good way for your kids to interact with friendly Disney employees and there are pins available in employee lanyards that aren't available anywhere else. Trade early in the day for the best selection. If you just go to ride rides, you will be dissappointed because of the long waits. We never ride a ride without a Fastpass, unless the line is short. The Fastpasses will say when you can get another for another ride. Get these early, once the day's worth is given out- no more fastpasses for the day for that ride.
Don't miss Mickey's PhilharMagic in the Magic Kingdom- next to the big Merry-Go-Round behind the castle. Very cool show that never gets old.
Plan your stops so you don't have to criss-cross the park. Epcot is three times bigger than the Magic Kingdom, too big to walk all over.
