Top tips of the week

January 7, 2009, 5:35 PM · Here are some of the more popular tips submitted within the past week or so on our Tips for Visiting Theme Parks pages:

All parks: Are your kids seat-kickers on airplanes? Take off their shoes. They'll be more comfortable, and not kick. Take off yours for comfort, too. Just, please, wear socks!

Walt Disney World tips: If you stay at a Disney hotel, you can get free transportation and baggage handling at the airport with Disney's Magical Express service.

Disneyland Paris tips: If you don't like the breakfast in your hotel, go to the Plaza Gardens in Fantasyland early; they give free breakfasts to people staying in the hotels.

Universal Studios Hollywood tips: Hit the lower lot early in the morning to avoid the long line at the thrill rides.

Universal Studios Florida tips: If you were never a big fan of the "Earthquake" attraction, you may want to skip "Disaster", as only the pre-show and audience interaction have changed. The ride is still the same.

I am glad to see the DLP tips. That park is so intersting compared to its American cousisns. It is so hot and cold: When they are good, they are good and when they are bad, they are terrible. The parks there are so great and so dissapointing at the same time, I hope for more TPI people can go there!
