meticulus9, off season is usually 6 or 7PM and restuarants, especially the good sit down ones like the Brown Derby close 2-3 hours before the park closes, so no dinner at the parks. :(

I chose EPCOT, it may sound corny but even from the time I was a small child I always appreciated the message of countries coming together in unity. I used to love looking at the cast member costumes, all the unique foods in the World Showcase, and not to mention I was just IN LOVE with Figment & Dream Finder in the 80's.

My Grandfather also worked for AT&T so the Spaceship Earth sponsorship was ALWAYS a big & exciting deal for him to talk about.

I still enjoy EPCOT the most to this day.

That is really awesome! I don't think it is corny at all. Thanks for sharing.

I would say 7 or 8. I know during the Halloween and Christmas Parties, they close at 7 so the party can go on for 5 hours till midnight
I know this is probably your first flight...and it's mine too...ha, ha

Rain upon that planet Earth. And they rain ... and rain ... and rain. The deluge.

you can get a listing on the official WDW site, under the Calendars link.

it will be several years before i can move there....but currently live in the northeast.....getting tired of paying insane costs for everything...but have to finish some stuff up here...and then a couple years in military and then i can move there (sigh!).....i know i would enjoy the weather...and while not the same as NYC, i've had enough of NYC....but there will be plenty of jobs for me down in Orlando....then I can go to the parks on my day off

meticulus9, sounds like a good plan. The best part is, if you can get employment at the parks you get in for free! I currently work in catering at Universal Orlando which gets me free there, Sea World and Busch Gardens. I am trying to find a way to get on call work at Disney so I can have access there without spending over $350 a year! Good luck to you! :mickey:
