Tip number 1 - don't use the buses! All onsite hotels are a gentle stroll away.

Tip number 2 - free drinks in the afternoon! If you buy food/drinks in the morning from a CS place you should get a voucher for a free drink later (before 6pm). Better to use these in Disneyland Park, as in Studios the only place you can redeem them is En Coulisse - long queues!

Which leads me to Tip 3 - it's not all burgers and hot dogs! Casey's Corner and Videopolis are known for really slow service, partly because everyone seems to go there! Try some of the other places. Or there's always good old Earl of Sandwich.

Having mentioned Videopolis leads me to...

Tip 4 - Videopolis is a great place to sit and warm up watching cartoons and fraying frazzled nerves. Take some change and you can get cold or hot drinks from the vending machine and avoid the queues.

Tip 5 - meet characters in the hotels (you don't have to be staying there) or at character meals. There are some well organised meet and greets in the parks, but some of them are not so organised!

Tip. 6 - the Christmas stuff! Tree lighting ceremony, Jingle Bell Boys show and the Cavalcade are all wonderful.

Tip 7 - take piccies and write us a trippie when you get back!
