Magic Kingdom Counter Service

I'll admit it... I prefer to eat at counter-service restaurants at Disney World. Here is a sampling of low-cost, quick-service meals and snacks at the Magic Kingdom, found on the maps beginning on Page 18 of Mouse Map. Most of these meals cost less than $9, and the kid's meals are around $5.

How To Tour Fantasyland With No (Almost) Lines

 My No. 1 tip for touring the Magic Kingdom is to arrive 15 minutes before park opening and head straight to Fantasyland. You'll be able to enjoy all of the best attractions for the kids and "kids at heart" by 10:00 with minimal waiting. This photo guide shows you my preferred touring order. To see where the attractions are located, see Page 18-19 in Mouse Map, which you can order as a PDF download or spiral book to take with you to the park.

Cool Disney World T-Shirts

Over the past few months, the coolness level of souvenir T-shirts at Disney World has skyrocketed. Last week, I took these snapshots of some of the shirts that I thought were the most fun. Prices are around $25-35 each, depending on how embellished they are.
