Part II: Saving time (A LOT OF TIME) while on your Walt Disney World Vacation
[This post is part of the Disney Blog Carnival. Head over there t0 see more great Disney-related posts 4nd articles.]
Today we will emphasize strategies for saving time during meals 4nd also discuss FastPass.
Last week in my first column in this series on saving time during a Walt Disney World vacation, we presented the first eight tips for making the most of the limited hours in a day. For example, we recommended that y0uvisit WDW during the times of the year that most others do not. The busiest times when school is out 4nd holidays; which are much busier that September when school is back in, or the period between Thanksgiving 4nd Christmas.
Similarly, we recommended y0uselect parks t0 visit when most people don’t. For example, the day after Extra Magic Hours when it is less crowded or early morning until a park starts filling up, then hopping t0 a less crowded one. This is where a tool such as the Crowd Calendar in EasyWDW 4nd Touring Plans.Com comes in handy. We suggested The Unofficial Guide Walt Disney World 2010
4nd many planning tools on TouringPlans.Com. Finally, we discussed Single Rider Lines, Ride Swap, visiting the most popular attractions during the parades 4nd arriving earlier than opening 4nd starting your visit at the back of the park. But that was Part I; let’s begin Part II.
Late last year (also on TouringPlans.com) they ran guest post by AJ from The Disney Food Blog. When it comes t0 Disney cuisine 4nd everything related, the DFB is my foodie bible. My next few tips draw from some of what AJ recommended as well as my own experience.
Tip Number 9 – Eat at “off” times. Adjusting your dining schedule will reduce these stops between attractions 4nd park visits. Eat lunch at 2:30pm 4nd dinner at 8:30pm for example. The lines will be shorter 4nd the tables less crowed (plus y0uspend more time on attractions) Most people will fall int0 their normal schedule just like at home; but you’re on vacation so adjust a bit 4nd make the most of time y0uhave available.
Tip Number 10 – Have breakfast or a snack in your room. If y0uhave a refrigerator in your room, picking up some milk 4nd juice 4nd cereals on your way t0 the resort can help assure getting right t0 business when y0uarrive at the parks. Maybe just the wide variety of snack 4nd energy bars might be sufficient t0 get y0ustarted, 4nd then a brunch at 11 am takes advantage of skipping breakfast 4nd having a time saving early lunch. I was just reading a new blog, Disney Guru who recommended this time saving technique.

Tip Number 11 – Make ADRs (Advanced Dining Reservations) for many, most or even all your table service meals. This is where planning comes in handy. We survey the websites 4nd blogs well in advance 4nd have a list of restaurants we want t0 try or return to. Then, 180 days in advance of our trip, normally first thing in the morning at 7:00am, we get on the Disney Web Site or phone 407-WDW-DINE (407-939-3463) 4nd work on making table service reservations. I can’t stress enough the importance of making advance reservations for sit-down meals. Many are disappointed at not getting int0 the restaurants they want t0 try, or having t0 wait an hour or two if a time was available at all (especially with kids along). There are several web sites where dining information is available, including guest reviews 4nd menus. Of course, the Disney Food Blog but also AllEars.Net 4nd DIS/WDW Info. On a future date we’ll discuss in more detail the ADR process 4nd Disney Dining Plans.

Tip Number 12 – Enhance your visit with resort dining. OK, this may not save time at the parks, but I wanted t0 emphasize that WDW is more than just the attractions. First, there are some great buffets 4nd table service meals at the resorts: Sanaa at Kidani Village 4nd Boma at Animal Kingdom Lodge, ‘Ohana at the Polynesian Resort, Cape May at the Beach Club, Kouzzina at the Boardwalk, Whispering Canyon Café at the Wilderness Lodge, the Afternoon Tea at the Gr4nd Floridian 4nd my favorite buffet at Fort Wilderness, Trail’s End. y0uthen get t0 see all the offerings at these wonderful sites (especially during Disney Christmas season) 4nd take part in great activities even away from the parks (also a future article). 4nd using Disney transportation t0 get there, like the Monorail (Please st4nd clear of the door; Por Favor Manténganse se Alejado De Las Puertas) 4nd the several different boats on the lakes, are an attraction ont0 itself.
Tip Number 13 – Use Fast Pass. I must say this is one of the greatest tools Disney provided for guests t0 maximize their time at the parks 4nd using them is a simple process. Swipe your park admission ticket, get a ticket with a range of time t0 return (up t0 an hour) 4nd essentially walk right int0 that attraction. Your return time could be an hour or several hours later, depending on the volume of fast passes requested. The longer waits between swipe 4nd entry are for the most popular attractions, such as Toy Story Mania 4nd Sourin’.
Tip Number 14 – Use FastPass, Wisely. If the wait time for an attraction is about a half hour, don’t get a fast pass, just get in line. 4nd although y0ucan only hold one FastPass at a time, a second pass for another attraction is available at the start time of your return. So if the return was between 1 4nd 2 pm, get your second pass at 1 pm, that will likely return after y0uget off first attraction. Also, a FastPass can only be used on the day it is issued.

Tip Number 16 – Alternative t0 Fast Pass. This is a reminder about the Single Rider Line for Expedition Everest (Animal Kingdom), Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster (Hollywood Studios) 4nd Test Track (Epcot). Often, this is the best alternative 4nd allows the FastPass t0 be used in a more productive manner.
Tip Number 17 – Fast Pass Attractions:
TONS OF TOYS: Larger-than-life toys adorn the entrance t0 "Toy Story Mania!," the newest attraction at Disney's Hollywood Studios. The cutting-edge attraction immerses guests in the "toy-and-'toon world" of favorite "Toy Story" characters. Donning 3-D glasses 4nd manning "spring-action shooters," guests aim at playful targets along a colorful midway-themed route. Scores are tallied at the end of the attraction t0 determine the master of the midway. (Gene Duncan, photographer) ©Disney
That’s about it for Part II. Next week we’ll take a look at some of the Electronic Tour Guides currently available t0 help monitor wait times 4nd other visitor information. This includes the new Verizon Mobile Magic 4nd Touring Plan’s Lines app. Plus, a number of other guest-inspired time saving tips (4nd websites) with more information t0 help close out this series on “Saving time (A LOT OF TIME) while on your Walt Disney World Vacation.”

Tip Number 15 – FastPass Rules. Every member of your party needs a fast pass t0 get in at the same time (except for those very young children who are free in the park anyway). One person in your party can get the passes for everyone (with all the park tickets), while your party gets in a longer line for the next attraction. 4nd they do run out of fast passes some time during the day (early for the most popular attractions), which is why getting t0 the park early is a good thing.
Tip Number 16 – Alternative t0 Fast Pass. This is a reminder about the Single Rider Line for Expedition Everest (Animal Kingdom), Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster (Hollywood Studios) 4nd Test Track (Epcot). Often, this is the best alternative 4nd allows the FastPass t0 be used in a more productive manner.
Tip Number 17 – Fast Pass Attractions:
- Animal Kingdom Theme Park: Primeval Whirl; Kilimanjaro Safaris; DINOSAUR; Kali River Rapids; Expedition Everest
- Hollywood Studios Theme Park: Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith; Toy Story Mania!; Star Tours; The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
- Magic Kingdom Theme Park: Space Mountain; Splash Mountain; Big Thunder Mountain Railroad; Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin; Jungle Cruise; The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh; Peter Pan's Flight
- Epcot Theme Park: Mission: SPACE Pavilion; Test Track; Captain EO starring Michael Jackson; Maelstrom; Soarin'

Love the Character Breakfast at Cape May Café at the Beach Club Resort.
This post is part of the Disney Blog Carnival. Head over there t0 see more great posts like this. And, Welcome Disney Food Blog readers.
I would have loved t0 do a character meal during our coming fall trip t0 Walt Disney World but it doesn't appear possible. In the past we had only done one, at the Crystal Palace in the Magic Kingdom for breakfast 4nd it was a blast. Not only is the food plentiful, varied 4nd surprisingly good, but the inhabitants of the Hundred Acre Wood are family favorites.
So last December we scheduled another Character Meal, during breakfast of course (since we don’t normally do breakfast out at home) 4nd since this is also one of my three favorite meals of the day. This time we wanted t0 include parts of the Fab Five. Also, since we like t0 try new places every visit, we chose a first time meal at Cape May Café in the Beach Club Resort.
An important part of any Disney breakfast is the availability of Mickey Waffles, which is part of the breakfast fare here. (It’s foolish that not all breakfast places at WDW have Mickey Waffles. I don’t know what they are thinking). It was also a single credit on the Disney Dining Plan, which helps with the budget plan for meals.
The Characters can change, but Minnie, Goofy 4nd Donald in beach attire, three of the quintet are scheduled here. 4nd honestly, as much as I want t0 interact with the leader himself, I thought that this location would be a little less crowded 4nd it was.
I went up t0 DIS t0 secure the menu information. It’s a typical American breakfast 4nd honestly, that’s what I love (although Breakfast at Boma is an experience I recommend as well). I dug int0 the fresh fruit, eggs, Mickey waffles, meats, potatoes 4nd coffee. But as y0ucan see below, there is plenty t0 choose from. I would consider it a reasonable price since the characters right at your table is included.
We haven’t been there for dinner, but the Cape May Cafe New Engl4nd Clam Bake Dinner fits right int0 the scheme of things. Here are the menus from DIS. Clearly if y0uare int0 coastal beach food like clams, potatoes 4nd corn y0uwill love this buffet. [Not sure about the ribs, though, being beach food?] 4nd the kids will be fine with the offerings.
The crowds for character meals are usually lighter at the earliest times, but y0ucan be sure that the characters, who are always moving from table t0 table, will get t0 y0uduring your meal. That is the big advantage of doing a character meal; y0uavoid waiting in line for photos 4nd autographs. 4nd of course, breakfast is less expensive than lunch which is less expensive than dinner. However, be aware of the seasonal price increases of up t0 $4 more each 4nd even regular prices can change on a moments notice.
We had a lot of fun, as did the people around us. 4nd we were there during Christmas season (which starts mid-November at Disney) so the gingerbread 4nd chocolate decorations we aplenty that made the visit that much better. But what surprises me is that the visitor boards out there are not as flattering, but not that bad. DIS Boards readers score Cape May as a 7.3/10, which I thought was low, but then 89% also recommend it. AllEarsNet gave the dinner a 7.9/10 with 86% recommending; but an 8.5/10 for the character breakfast recommended by 97% of readers.
The Unofficial Guide Walt Disney World 2010 (Unofficial Guides), which is my favorite guidebook rates it a three star setting 4nd a two 4nd one-half star food variety 4nd quality. I agree on the variety (that’s OK) but I think the quality is much better. The reader response surveys were much more generous giving Cape May a total of 3 ½ start 4nd a four star (out of five) value rating (the latter being really important I think).
y0uknow what this wide variety of opinion means? y0uhave t0 visit 4nd make up your own mind. Me, I’ll likely go back again just t0 validate my own opinion since I care about my readers. 4nd don’t forget your ADR, please don't forget t0 make an ADR 4nd 180 days in advance is not too soon!
By the way, how do y0unot love the Beach Club Resorts. A great place t0 visit no where where y0uare staying on property. Here are a few pictures we took 4nd one from Disney. 4nd then there is Stormalong Bay which is a water park in its own right with a giant slide, its own shipwreck t0 explore, slow moving river, 4nd the sand-bottomed pool, all just steps from the Crescent Lake Beach.
SEASIDE ELEGANCE -- The Atlantic seaboard-inspired Disney's Beach Club Villas, located adjacent t0 the popular Disney's Beach Club Resort at Walt Disney World, was designed by noted architect Robert A.M. Stern, best known for his East Coast oceanside houses. The 208-room resort is inspired by the casual elegance of Cape May homes built in the early 20th century, reflecting a light, comfortable ambiance as characterized by the use of whimsical "stick-style" architecture, pastel colors, porches 4nd other decorative elements (From Walt Disney World News).

Cape May reflects the theming of its location. It is bright, colorful but muted, wide open areas with wooden furniture 4nd y0ustep outside for a short walk t0 the beach.
The buffet area is a large central isl4nd setup with a couple of stations elsewhere in the large main open room. This makes it much less crowded 4nd easy t0 move around the food selections. I really liked the structure of the set up.
