...SP, which dining plan are you looking into?

I don't know.  The wifey is looking into it.  I just get the bill.

Best time me and the family ever went was the week BEFORE thanksgiving , it was cool 65-70 deg and you would wear a hoodie during the day - you would walk right onto the roller coaster rides with no lines whatsoever - Ive asked the employees there when the busiest time is , and they always say X-mass holiday is nuts -  summer time is a real drag , the kids are out of school and the place gets packed but the worse part is the heat , man it gets hot here in the summer . The  night time is real nice if you still have the energy left in you - some of the sit down movie rides like Muppets , bugs life, little mermaid are real good to get into and sit down and cool of for a half hour especially when its real hot outside - those are good 12- 3 pm rides to get onto --  if your at MGM Disney get on the toy story ride right away when you get into the park , little kids love that ride , also tower of terror is real good too for bigger kids

Parking...  food for thought , parking is free in the park lots if you stay on any of the Disney resorts ,if you dont its 14$ a day ! add that up and it is about $100 a week , then figure that out and the park resorts start to look like a better deal compared to the off park hotels - also as mentioned they let you in 1 hour earlier into the parks , make sure you make the best of it and score down on the roller coaster rides and get those out of the way , I recommend you be waiting at the front gate opens and nail them off first -the wait can be 60-90 minutes with no fast pass during peak periods -

Also Disney Resorts have free bus rides to the Disney parks , be warned ...that at park closing times , there will be very long waits to get on the monorail ,trams  and the buses to get back to the hotels , if you are watching a parade and want to leave right after you see it , don't  fart around , as soon as the last float goes by , get moving and move fast to the monorail before 10,000 people get ahead of you - for the fire works in disney the best spot is by the merry-go round the fireworks go off right above your head at that spot   


If you are weak of health , suffer from back pain , heart conditions or are pregnant , stay away from the Hall of Presidents ....

Here's a list of what they call Value Season.  We went during the September 4-8 time and the park was empty.  I can honestly say there were very few people there and we walked on any ride we wanted except the Toy Story ride (fastpass and we waited less than 30 minutes).  I walked on all of the big name coasters twice in a row without even stopping.  Tower of Terror, Aerosmith coaster, Mission Space, etc.
