Best amusement park tips???

Travel Info
Hey everyone I'm just taking a quick poll of your best tips for planning a day at amusement park such as universal or disney. Have a great day!

Travel Tips

1.if a park has the option to skip the ride lines, take it! it may be expensive but it is well worth the money and you'll wish you got it when you stand in line for 3 hours watching the fast pass people go straight to the front and get on the rides.

2. try to only eat one meal inside the park, it will save you money. go to breakfast outside the park, do lunch inside and then do dinner after you leave.

3. do not buy a camera inside the park, it's way too expensive

4. wear comfy shoes, if you ride roller coasters, you may have to take your flip flops off.

5. if there is a ride that someone does not want to get on, they can wait for the others in the rides gift shop. all rides end in the gift shop.

6. Florida heat will kill you! stay close to the misters(little fans that blow a mist of water) it will keep you cool. The best souvenir to buy is a little handheld fan that mists as well. Although it may seem lame, stop by the shows and performances inside the park. they are usually held indoors and will give you a much needed boost of energy.

7. Have fun. be safe!!

Stay on-site if going to Disney and use their transportation to get around.

You will be able to find a place to stay in your price range, so there is little reason to stay elsewhere.

Plan ahead, at least a little. These parks are not your local Six Flags. They are huge! For your first time, get a guidebook.
Stay on site.
Get out early and head into the park. That way you can work your way out as everyone else is heading in.
Go towards the left in all line situations.
get there early and get the big draw rides out of the way asap. week days like mondays usually have the smallest crowds. weeks build up and then on saturday you have huge crowds. saturdays are fine for animal kingdom where you don't have to stand in line to see the animals -- but for magic kingdom its impossible. speaking of animal kingdom the safari ride is best early -- the animals are usually done with their morning exercises early on and spend most of the day lounging around.

if you are going to disney stay at disney. most of the surrounding hotels are just about as expensive as disney anyway. back to animal kingdom -- the animal kingdom lodge has great animal interaction activities only for the kids staying at the lodge. it is worth every penny.

the polynesian has the easiest character breakfast to get into and its fun too they have the ever popular mickey waffles which are only available there and the contemporary -- the luau at night is fun for kids and adults.

orlando public transit is horrible -- don't try to rely on it or you will get stuck for hours waiting.

disney resorts have the best food for dinner in the area. there aren't many great eats places around -- mostly corporate olive garden kinds of restaurants.
