Disney World Vacation Package

Disney world vacation package ?'s?

Going to disney world july 4 thru 10 for the third time and had a few questions about the vacation package. 1. the key to the world i have the none expiring option and will have days left when i leave is that like a regular ticket? they say u use your hotel to get in the parks is this true? 2. say i have a reservation at chef mickey's at contemporary and i'm stayin at allstar movie do they have direct shuttle to contemporary or do you catch bus to a park and then transfer to hotel. 3. Last year i went week before 4th of july and it was very comfortable and not crowded to me this year im going on the 4th but will not visit the parks until the 5th thru the 9th will it be a lil less crowded than the actual week leading up until the 4th 4. were would be the best place to see fireworks on the 4th without having to go in the parks? I'm trying to avoide the crowd that day and my plane wont get there until 3pm so i dont wanna waste a day ticket for that. 5. im on the dinning plan what are the best places for me my wife and 3 and 10 year old to eat on quick service plan that are in each park? i wanna make sure we eat at the verry best places with our meal plan that are quick service. 6. to save money i already bought my spray fan bottles, ponchos,disney tee shirts localy, disney beech towels. am i missin something i should try to get at local disney store. The spray fan bottle i bought online tho. 7. for the parades are you allowed to bring a portable chair to sit in if not what can i do to be comfortable?

1. 1 If you booked a package or purchase tickets when checking in, your tickets will be on your room keys. 2 To get to Con from ASM you would take a bus to MK or to TTC then take the monorail to Con. You could also walk to the Con from MK. The walk is probably 7-8 min. 3 The 4-10 will probably be very busy. since the 4 is a Sunday this year I expect many will take off from work the 5-9 (many will have the 5th off from work as a paid holiday). 4 Make reservations to eat at the Poly or GF then walk down to the lake after dinner. 5 MK: Pecos Bills Used to be a favorite, but it was horrible in Dec. We tried Columbia Harbour House for the first time in Decd and loved it. Epcot: Sunshire Seasons has the largest selection of meals on property AK: We haven't eaten counter service at AK, but flame tree barbeque gets good reviews DHS: ABC We like ABC Commissary better than Back lot Express or Rosie the Riveter's but IMHO DHS has the worst counter service restaurants at WDW 7 No you can not bring a chair. If you want to sit you will need to stake out a spot with a beach at least an hr (if not 2) before the parades. However don't be surprised it end up having to stand because people are standing in front of you.
2. Yes, your tickets will be loaded on to your hotel key. So if you are going to have days left, you'll have to make arrangements to make sure that this is taken care of. If you have no expiration, they will be able to take care of you, but just be sure you point that out as you are checking in. The hotels do NOT have buses between them. You'll need to take a bus to the Ticket and Transportation Center, and from there, you can get anywhere via other buses, monorail, or ferries. The Contemporary has a monorail you can take. The week surrounding the 4th of July is the busiest time of year with the exception of Christmas week. Expect major crowds your entire visit. You can get over to the Boardwalk or the Polynesian or somewhere like that to catch some of the fireworks. Transportation will be crazy, so be sure to allow plenty of time. Quick services restaurants are very similar - it's not like you'll miss out on a gourmet meal. I would suggest checking out http://www.allearsnet.com They have the menus and reviews. Everybody has a different opinion on what is good, so you should choose based on what you like. Sounds like you are well equipped already as far as stuff. Don't forget sunscreen and possibly hats and sunglasses. If you get to the parades first thing, you may be able to sit on the curb briefly. But cast members may ask you to move at some point. Basically as far as a guaranteed seat, your only option is to find an empty bench along the parade route and stake it out - and you may very well have to get there 2 hours ahead of time (possibly even more at this super-busy time) to get the bench. They won't let you set up your own seat.
3. 1. Yes, because it has the non expiration option, the tickets don't expire. You don't need your hotel key to get in the parks, however, you do need the card to take advantage of the extra magic hours offered exclusively to disney resort guest. 2. There are no buses that have direct routes from hotel to hotel. So yes, if you are staying at All Star Movies, you will have to take the bus to a park and then get on the bus going to Contemporary. I suggest going to Magic Kingdom so you can ride the monorail to contemporary....seems way cooler. 3. Im not sure, I am going that time myself (July 6-14). 4. N/A 5. Here are my list of personal favorites:' Sunshine Seasons in The Land at Epcot Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe at Magic Kingdom Flame Tree Barbeque(they serve ribs) at Animal Kingdom(very close to all star movies) Restaurants(like McDonald's) at Animal Kingdom Rosie's All American Cafe at Hollywood Studios Lottawatta Lodge & The Warming Hut(2 different restaurants) at Blizzard Beach Surf Doggies & Leaning Palms(2 different restaurants) at Typhoon Lagoon 6. I got autographs when I went last year. They sell those fat pens there pretty expensive and they're not even that big. I went to 5 below and got this super huge jumbo tinkerbell pen for $1.50 and my sister got the mickey mouse pen. Every time the characters saw our pen they were like woah. Chip and Dale actually swordfighted with them and sorta broke them lol. 7. Oooh I was in the Animal Kingdom Parade last year and everyone was standing up you can get a wheel chair temporarily because they wont let you block space like that.
