Best Kept secret?

[SimbaandNalasMama]

hey guys-
Wanted to know your opinions on what you think is the best kept secret in WDW. this came up when sis and i were talking about our last visit in January where we visited DisneyQuest for the first time and how floored i still am that i had no idea what it was or how great it is. (Really, to play pacman, donkey kong, Qbert, etc, for as long as you want....really, quite fun for an 80's girl like me :silly:) To add to it, it wasnt crowded. I had no trouble getting onto the machines i wanted.

So, in that vein of thought, what are some of your best kept secrets? This can be in the parks, resorts, water parks, DTD, etc.

The path that runs from Mickey's Toon Town Fair to Tomorrowland is great, never crowded and quite scenic.

Some of the private pools - especially in CBR's South Trinidad - at 11pm...the pool was empty each night we were there! :mickey:

The Disney Vacation Club of course!

Sorry, could not resist...

Others:

Get to TL early, head over toward Shark Reef. On the beach you will find a shelter that is a great stop for the day, but get there early.
Don't rush into a theatre, that way you end up in the middle rather than the edge of the theatre.
The right line on the Speedway is faster than the left.
On Soarin' you can ask for row 1B (or is it B1). Anyway it is the top row in the middle. It has the best view. Everyone should try it once.
Wishes from behind the Castle is pretty cool too, though you should see it from the front of the Castle if you never have.
The second DiveQuest is always less crowded than the first. (If you do DiveQuest).
On Buzz, aim for the targets close to the cieling. You'll get 100K every time.

Maybe these aren't TOO secret, but they are good to know about anyway:

Rider switch-off AKA baby-swap.

In the am, take the train to get to Splash Mtn and BTMRR.

Go early to Tom Sawyer's Island and find the paint brushes to get a special fastpass.

Get length-of-stay stroller rentals and save a few bucks.

Kringla Og Cafe.... mmmmmmm goooood

I think my favorite little known thing is the boat that goes from the back of Epcot to MGM. It's a pleasant ride and never crowded. (Still waiting for a monorail spur out to MGM). :mickey:

[SimbaandNalasMama]

Thanks for all the cool 'secrets' and tips. i didnt mean this to be a tool to help me get everything out of my trip, but now it seems that way, doesnt it :) I PROMISE, i was just curious!! :blush:

The Liberty Tree Taven!!!

FIrst I must say I am NOT a big fan of buffets or family style eating.

This place rocks, it is family style. The food and service is great. We will be eating 2 of our dinners there this next trip.

Added bounus is the characters. Let me think...
Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, Chip and Dale.

Wow, I didn't know about this! We'll definitely have to try it!:thumbsup:

I think the secret path in the mk is one and another is the boardwalk. all though people go to it a lot its not nearly as crowded as DTD. It is a great place to eat supper at and then just walk through the shops. It looks so cool from the a boat on the lake in front of it.

I didn't know about this either. Where do you pick it up, and does it run all day/during park hours?
