What are your favorite services?

[Pastcastmemberdaughter]

Just wondering what services you enjoy the most at the themeparks. I like the Fastpasses they offer at the attractions. What about you guys?

What do you wish they offered at all or what they had more of. I wish they had more Table Service resturants available at the other parks other than Epcot. I love variety.

Package delivery to your resort saves you from lugging bags around.

Locker rental in transitional weather seasons...i.e you don''t have to lug your coats around during the heat of the day, but can have a jacket or windebreaker for the cooler evening hours in december/jan.

Photopass!

We bring our own camera as well, but really like having the pros take pictures. Plus, it is really cool the "extras" you can add to the pics once you get home.

Yep i agree ..Thats a godsend :thumbsup:

[WDW_Obsessed]

I second the opinions of fastpass and package delivery both. Also, I love the fact that you can make ADR's :thumbsup:

[Jeniflower]

i agree with fast passes and package service. Photographers are great but if you don't have kids they are less likely to appraoch you

[DisneyOtaku]

Another vote for both Fastpasses and the package-delivery system! Man, I love not having to carry all my cool Disney stuff around with me :-)

[Lakin]

Disney's Magic Express and every hotel's free transportation to the park. Biggest help in the world!

[cinderella crazy]

Another vote for Fastpass and package delivery. :D

Fastpass has changed my life! I also love photopass and the package delivery. So many great services to pick from! :mickey:

Photopass is a good service, but be wary of it as well. A LOT of it depends on the photographer. I do photography as part of my job, so probably am more critical than most, but my sister and her family recently returned from a trip and did photopass the entire time. Had around 80 pics online in total (not sure if they bought any or not). Most, if not all of them, were average at best, and CERTAINLY not worth $12.99 for a 5x7!

That is not to say that you can't get good shots from them, as I said it depends on the photographer, but for the money you pay for a pic, you are better off bringing your own camera.

Here is a nice trick though, all photopass photogs will take a pic with your camera as wellk, so do the photopass, but also have them take a pic with your cam. Basically gets you the same pic for free!

The single rider line at some of the attractions is a nice plus.

We definitely use the FP to our best advantage. I think we may have waited in a 20 minute line three times in all of our visits. Such a great idea. It's hard to go to theme parks here in Cincinnati because we're so spoiled with NOT having to wait in a long line at Disney!

[Dragongirlx]

Free transport to the parks if you stay in a resort which means I don't have to drive. iIhate to drive and I especially hate to do it in places that are not familiar to me and since its the opposite side of the road in America its even worse

[handmaidenofprincesses]

Fastpass is fabulous! I wouldn't ever get to ride things like Soarin' or TSM without it (I'm sorry, I'm just not that patient of a person)

I also love Magical Express. Being under 21, I can't rent a car yet, so it's nice to know I'll be taken care when I visit.

[BMan62]

Disney Transportation and FastPass.

We are on vacation, the last thing I want to do is get stressed over other drivers out there!!!! So, we may have to wait at park closing or stand for 15 - 20 minutes until we get to our resort. We've been walking and standing all day, so what's a few more minutes.

FastPass is great, although we generally only go during Value season(s) and rarely need to use it. It's just nice to know we have the opportunity.

[Soul_Power]

Although it has been said already, my favorites are:


Magical Express (if only all vacation destinations offered this service)
Disney transportation (we don't rent a car)
Photopass (I love how they take pics with your own camera too)
Fastpass (life saver)

birthday and anniversary phone calls/ In 2006 my DH and I got an anniversary call from mickey and minnie in the photo shop in epcot and they wished us happy anniversary and sang a song. in 2008 my DH got a happy birthday call from donald in the MK and same deal wished happy b-day and a song. Just a little thing but makes your day even more special and memorable.:mickey3:

[Pastcastmemberdaughter]

I just thought of another one I like, the Disney Florist. I guess you could count that as one. I just ordered my mom some flowers for Mother's Day, since her and Dad will be there over the holiday. Hopefully it will be a nice surprise for her.

Baby Swap!!!

[PopeCharming]

Fastpass- its nice that something in life rewards cunning and strategery.

The Magic Express is also very nice- I love how they play retro Disney park music on the bus while its loading- I got to hear "Listen to the Land" and "One Little Spark" last time. And it goes to show you how palpable the progress is- why, if I showed up at Orlando Int'l Airport 15 years ago, and asked to see the Magic Express, they would have put me away!:crazy:

Great list! I'd like to add one more.
How about CMs that go out of their way to make magic for people.

[LudwigVonDrake]

Having my packages sent back to my hotel. Saves me from schlepping them around :mickey:

[biodtl]

There are so many thing, which is why WDW is so much more than your typical theme park - and people who have never been don't understand.

I agree with everything mentioned, but for me the tops would be the transportation because I like to relax and not have to think about driving and traffic and because we go during the food and wine festival and I won't drive even after one drink.

Plus fastpass and babyswap, since our kids are 7 years apart and baby swap is a lifesaver.

[thejens]

All of the above and I'll add the kid's clubs. It is SO nice to drop off the kids at the Neverland Club so they can relax and unwind while we head to the Cali Grill. Everyone is happy!

EMH, wake-up calls,towel animals, and fastpass.

[BelleLovesTheBeast]

Photopass - we pre-order the CD and usually get around 500 photos. That way my DH and I have pictures with both of us in them.
Package delievery - I like not having to carry bags around and getting to pick them up at the resort.
Fastpass
Celebration buttons - they just make the trip a little more special
EMH
