TIP 1: It's Your Birthday!
If it is your birthday be sure to get a Birthday badge from guest services, it will make the whole experience much better with Cast Members making more fuss of you. You will probably get a number of birthday gifts if you are lucky. In restaurants you will quite likely be presented with a cup cake with a candle on it. If you want a proper birthday cake you can have one delivered to your table in most Disney restaurants, you will need to provide 48hrs notice and be sure to remind the restaurant staff when you arrive.Note: the picture is a birthday pin that you can buy from PinTraders in Downtown Disney and not the same as the one you will get from guest services.

TIP 2: Ride Late in the Day
Lots of rides have much shorter lines later in the day. You can even get to ride a number of times in quick succession if you time it all right. If you don't want to see the fireworks, try riding whilst the firework show is on, or just before whilst everybody else is waiting for the firework show to start.
TIP 3: Buffet Breakfasts are great for Kids!
Buffet breakfasts are great for kids at the start of the day.The buffet breakfast at Crystal Palace, Magic Kingdom is particularly good with Winnie the Pooh characters in attendance.
Chef Mickey's at the Contemporary Resort also has a buffet breakfast with characters in attendance.
Both of these normally have to be booked in advance especially during busy periods.
The advantage of the buffet breakfast is that the kids can pick and choose what they want and will generally get a good start to the day. It also means that if they don't like what they have in front of them then they can go and get something else.
TIP 4: It Does Rain in Florida Sometimes!
Disney Quest is a superb all day indoor venue. There is a huge range of Video arcade type games along with some other interative activities. The Pirates of the Caribbean 'ride' is particularly good. Once you get into Disney Quest everything except food and drink is free unless you wish to purchase artwork that you create. You can easily spend a full day in Disney Quest, open generally at 10 or 11:00am and closes about 11:00pm depending on season etc. Check times locally.
If you want a Lightweight raincoat that can easily be carried in a backpack or on a belt, check these out:
Disney Princess Cinderella Girls Pink Raincoat
TIP 5: Downtown Disney by Car
When visiting Downtown Disney, try to decide where you will end the visit eg Market place or West side, and park your car at that location. If you are staying in a Disney resort use the Disney Transport to get to the Downtown area. Current Weather in Florida

TIP 6: Free Drink Refills
Also fill your drink bottle before you leave, this can save you loads over the duration of your trip. If you are in a restaurant that does not have take away beakers pour anything your kids don't drink into their bottle before you go.
TIP 7: Drink Plenty of Water
When it is hot, drink plenty of water, this will be much more refreshing than soft drinks and soda.You can refill a water bottle from the water fountains.
TIP 8: Use the Disney Resort Facilities
If you are staying in a Disney Resort you are able to use the facilities in the other resorts as well. So even if you are staying in the cheapest Disney Resort, you can use the facilities in the most expensive resort. for example if you enjoy relaxing by the pool, you could do a tour of the different resort pools. TIP 9: Take your Locker from Park to Park
If you rent a locker in one park and then move on to another park, show your receipt as this will allow you to rent a locker in the second park at a reduced rate. TIP 10: Ride Up Front on the Monorail
Ask a cast member at the monorail stations, and if possible you will get to ride up front with the driver. TIP 11: Fully Booked Restaurants
If a restaurant is fully booked, see if you can return later to take the table of a party that has finished early. Dining Guides
