I'd appreciate any advice - best way to plan character meals, which are best, timing tips, getting around etc. my next assignment is to figure out how the fast pass operates. If relevant, we are staying at the Floridian (so on monorail line), and have 3 girls - age range 4-8, so princesses are a plus. Thanks in advance for any help!

I would be embarrassed to go to Disney after they have been firing american workers and replacing them with H1B guest workers. Really, you can't find some other place to support?????

Instead, about 250 Disney employees were told in late October that they would be laid off. Many of their jobs were transferred to immigrants on temporary visas for highly skilled technical workers, who were brought in by an outsourcing firm based in India. Over the next three months, some Disney employees were required to train their replacements to do the jobs they had lost.

“I just couldn’t believe they could fly people in to sit at our desks and take over our jobs exactly,” said one former worker, an American in his 40s who remains unemployed since his last day at Disney on Jan. 30. “It was so humiliating to train somebody else to take over your job. I still can’t grasp it.”

Never go to Disney. They are a soulless conglomerate. Trashing their people

We did the Cinderella castle as an early dinner (4:30p) made reservations 3 months in advance. Food was actually better than expected, and it was a nice air conditioned break in MK. Meant to go to dinner at the steamboat but ran out of steam after an afternoon at the hotel pool and did dinner in instead. Maybe you could check it out for me? Fulton's Crabhouse?
I brought princess headbands, costume dress, gloves, tights and sparkly shoes from Target in my daypack and changed the girls just before we went in. We went during spring break, did not do any fast passes or plan anything else, and still had a great time. This was pre-wristband. A nice family actually handed us passes they weren't using for the jungle ride. Helped that the girls did not want to do any of the big scarier rides. If your kids do not like scary, you might want to skip the Pirates of the Caribbean. Lots of skeletons, cobwebs, flashing lightning effects.

If you are on property, you don't have to carry them around. They will deliver them to your hotel and you can pick them up at your leisure.

They'll also deliver them to the front of the park for pick up at the end of the day.
