More Disney Tips!!!

This is why you should always ask to sit behind the driver on the Kilmanjoro (I have no idea how to spell that and I'm to lazy to look) Safari at Animal Kingdom. As a scrapper it's the best way to get pictures of your family on the jeep and it's the best place for pictures.

***ATTENTION!!! I have great news!!! Animal Kingdom finally has straws. They are paper straws that I'm sure are animal friendly. I'm so glad Mickey listen to all the mothers of small children.***

We went spent 3 days and 2 nights at Disney World this past weekend. I love Disney! I really really do. We stayed at the All Star Music Resort this time. It's nice but the movies is still my favorite. I love the building size movie characters. The music resort had a Broadway area which was neat but it's just not the same.

Some resort tips-
- buy the resort cup. It cost around $12 but it is unlimited refills! If you have some friends who bought resort cups in the past, ask to borrow them. We have had our two cups for years now and we take them every visit. I know that's not exactly what Disney had in mind but it works. The only down fall is that the cups only hold 12 oz. I wish they held a little more but they are nice to have. We throw them in the stroller and we stop and fill 'em up each time we walk by.
-The All Star resorts offer pizza by the slice or by the pie in their food court. I'm not sure if the upper level resorts have pizza places. The All Star will even delivery it to your room but DO NOT DO IT!!! They will add a $1 delivery charge and 18% gratuity just to walk across the resort. It's not worth it! A large pizza is less than $17 including tax. It's the cheapest way to feed a family. If we order seperate meals from the food court or a quick service place we are lucky to pay less than $30. So a quick walk to the food court for our family of four to share a large pizza for $17 and free drinks with our cups is a great deal.
-If you plan on swimming while at the resort (heated and open year around)call housekeeping as soon as you get there and ask for more towels. They will rush them to you and then you have them ready when the swim time comes. There are no towels at the pool. You have to bring them from your room.
-Don't worry about floaties and life jackets. The resorts have great little yellow life vest at the pool. They come in 2 different sizes so even the bigger kids can be safe at the pool.
-Pop century resort has it's own bus. The other value resorts (all star movies, all star music, and all star sports) share a bus. That means that sometimes you may have to stand. It takes about 15 minutes to get from the All Star resorts to the Magic Kingdom and about 8 minutes to get to Animal Kingdom. I don't know about Epcot and Hollywood.
-If you close a park, don't rush to the bus stop. If you are the first one to the bus stop all that means is that you are going to be packed into the bus. Take your time! Take some extra pictures as you're leaving of the buildings and flowers. Go to the bathroom. Take your Time!!! You can rush to the line and wait or you can let everyone else rush and you can enjoy a few more minutes in the kingdom!
