if you call it Disneyland, people will think you're either stupid, or going to California.

[undercoverlover]

over here, people dont know theres a difference, usa folks can put it down to english ignorance.

[ash_is_the_gal]

if you go into a park where everywhere you turn it says Disneyworld people are not going to think you're ignorant they are going to think you're blind.

Disneyland is probably better anyway. i don't know cause ive never been. (to Disneyland that is)

Drinks and snacks are extremely expensive inside the theme parks so I always took a back pack loaded with a few goodies with me.... and if you stay at one of the resorts on Disney, be sure to ask the desk clerks if they have any special park times.... the last time I went, we got to go to the park after hours and ride stuff....

Hope you have a fun time.... :)

I went to Disney Land once a long time ago. The thing that stuck in my head was the cleanliness of the park. No garbage in site. I had a ball at Universal Studios though. That was the hilight during my stay in California. Loved the old Psycho House. :yup:

[ash_is_the_gal]

i enjoyed Island of Adventure myself... and Blizzard Beach. you should go to Blizzard Beach. at least you won't be roastin!

Epcott is a lovely little place too.

Great tips. We did that too and boy were we glad we took extra snacks with us.

Another useful tip is if everyone doesn't have a cell phone...think about getting walkie talkies to keep track of each other in the park. There will probably come a time when you want to do something and your parents (or siblings) will want to do something else and the walkies talkies take the angst out of finding each other again.

Are you staying in the park Undercoverlover?

I went Florida a few years ago, Islands of Adventure is definitely the best, and Universal Studios and the water park one as well. Walkie Talkies are also something we used, good idea if not everyone likes white knuckles. If you're only going to the Disney one, i found the Toy Story Buzz Lightyear ride the best there.

i found the Toy Story Buzz Lightyear ride the best there.

that is, by far, my favorite Disney ride ever.

no we're not staying in the park i think we're renting a house nearby, i skim read the details my dad gave me and it was something like a disney housing area or something.

Cheers Caitlyn, half my suitcase will be full of sunscreen and the aloe vera sounds like a plan.

Does anyone know whats good eating in the area?

[SamsoniteDelilah]

Tip 1: anything you've heard about food portions being huge in the US will be shown shockingly true at Disney. They don't serve anything that is smaller than your head.

A second tip: go on the water rides before the heat of the day, as the lines get long long long long long as soon as people have lunch.

Lastly: if you liked Pirates of the Carribbean, make sure you go on the ride. Also, it's cool (temp-wise) in there, which makes it a nice break from the heat. So is the Haunted Mansion. (I'm assuming they have the same rides at Disney World as Disneyland.)

Have a great time!

[undercoverlover]

yeah im looking forward to the pirates of the caribbean as its recently had additions from the movie put in

July? :eek: Just came back, and it was a scorcher! (well, humid....scorcher)

Hope you have FUN! Sorry all my old buds from up there are gone and can no longer "hook you up!" :(

Just be really friendly to the young college age staff people, and they will undoubtedly lavish you with wonderful appreciation (on top of the "lavish" of Disney that they MUST do).

You'd be surprised at how rude most people are to them. Most of them hate New Yorkers when they leave, and are convinced that every guest is a snob.

[KnicksRIP]

Enjoy your time here! (Well, by "here" I mean this country, but enjoy Florida, too.)
