I was there in Dec. 2011 - we asked to sit in the front car of the monorail (since we had done it a couple times before) we were told it was not allowed any longer

After the monorail accident and the death of the driver they no longer allow guest up front.

Didn't see it mentioned and it's not so much for when you're in the parks, but the British style phone booths in Epcot actually work. You can't dial out, but they have phone numbers and will ring when you call them. So you can always call someone at Epcot even if you're not at the parks Here are the numbers:

Canada: 407-827-9884
United Kingdom (left side): 407-827-9862
United Kingdom (middle): 407-827-9863
United Kingdom (right side): 407-827-9861

The fiber optics in the floor of the plaza by fountains at Epcot's Future World that sparkles at closing time as you are leaving.

A tip if you have little ones who love the characters.

At Epcot, at the rope drop, head straight for the Character Spot (There is Mikey, Minney, Pluto, Donald, and Goofy). While everyone else is rushing for Test Track and Soarin', you'll likely be the ONLY ones at the character spot. Last year, when our little guy was 2 1/2, we were the only ones in the character spot for a good 15 minutes. The characters were actually getting down on the floor, playing with him, and we got a family shot with ALL of the characters (e.g.- All of us + all 5 characters in one shot). The year before was similar.

Wow! Not many new tips lately.

This one may already be posted, but my favorite tip someone gave me before my last trip was "Free Water"! Any counter or kiosk will give you a free cup of ice water.

We took our own water bottles, but were emptied by mid-day. Since I don't like soda in the hot sun, the FREE water was very refreshing.

My family went last june and stayed in the AOA and loved it. but more important we purchased the photopass+ card. it was great and the first photographer we met gave us this tip: "you only get one card so it makes it hard for groups to split up, BUT if you take a picture of the photopass+ card on a smart phone the card readers the photographers have can read the phone picture and groupd can split up and still get pictures" there were 7 in our group and we cam home with a CD loaded with over 450 pics thats about 44 cents a pic and now the photopass+ is cheaper on preorder.

The hidden mickey's are always fun! You can buy a book, that gives you hints as to where they all are, they are a great way to pass time in lines or waiting for dinner.
Also, if you are not huge on crowds and you are staying on property, spend the hot days by the pool and spend the nights at what ever park has the latest magic hours!
