I promised tips, here's a big one: Bring at least a couple of bottles of water with you into the park. Are you supposed to? Technically, probably not, but we've been searched and never had them taken away. Disney does not want to be responsible for heat stroke and dehydration. Is there water in the park? Sure - but it will cost you $3-4 per bottle. It will be cold and wonderfully delicious, and we found ourselves doing this a time or two on the really hot days. Still, tossing a bottle or two of your own into the diaper bag will save big money if you are going to be in the park for a few days. Plus, once your bottle is empty, you can either refill it with water from a fountain or faucet, or use it so the kids can split the bottle you just shelled out $3.50 for. (You know they won't share nicely, and half will end up spilled unless they each have their own container.)
Just got into town and don't know where to get water? Ask at your hotel. There may be a convenience store nearby, or your hotel may offer bottled water for less than you'd pay in the park. Want to know what we do? We order two cases (yes, cases) of water bottles from Albertsons.com, along with other groceries we'll use during our stay, and have them delivered to our hotel on the day they arrive. Each of us can then grab a bottle of water to drink anytime we want (the local water is not great if you are not used to it) and we can take a couple to the park each day.
Did you catch the Albertson's.com idea there? More on that one to come, but let's just say the $10 delivery fee is well worth having some easy food available in your room.
