Disney World Advice! - Page 6

You don't have to drive your car everywhere. Take the boat and monorail between MGM (excuse me, the "Studio Park"), Epcot and the Tragic Kingdom.

But rely on the bus system for everything else? For Fools Only.

Perhaps in my fervor, I've missed a recommendation of the DisneyWorld bus system. I'd be happy to read one, if pointed in such a direction.

Whenever possible, I prefer to have a car. I just like having the flexibility of living on my own schedule.

But I'm weird that way.

As for the boat between EPCOT and the Studios, if you don't want to wait for that boat (or if you don't like how it's all closed in), you can walk. From World Showcase, exit towards the Yacht & Beach club, choose a direction to walk around the lake, and take a left just past the dance hall. There's a sidewalk next to the canal the boats take that goes right up to the Studios.

It's maybe a mile long and there's not much shade, but it's a really pretty walk.

Can you swim between EPCOT and the Studios?

Technically, yes. I doubt you'd be encouraged to do so, and the water is kind of murky and yucky, but, sure.

Only if you wish to die.

If you're going and it's hot and humid, drink lots of water.
Lots of people get dehydrated.

I don't know if they have these anymore, but I used to LOVE the popsicles coated in wax, so they wouldn't melt in 4.2 seconds. The wax was edible, but it was gross.

You should be used the humidity and able to breathe liquid (a la The Abyss) in about 5 days.

I remember the waxy popsicles. I don't think we have those anymore. The main Popsicle type treat around here is the elongated, multi-colored Itza-Ka-Doozie, which I mostly see being sold in the evening, especially at Fantasmic. It melts very efficiently, even at night.

Most of the frozen treats are of the chocolate coated banana or ice cream sandwich type. These are stored in dry ice, and you can break your teeth on them if you try to bite into them before they thaw.

Ah! Those AK Memories !! I think you and MF were there to witness it...

(PS: at Tokyo DL it took an hour before I could make a dent in my Hunny Icecream Pot contents - ceramic being an efficient insulator...)
