Adventure Isle Best time to visit: anytime Comments: walk through attraction featuring the Treehouse, Skull cave, Eyeglass Hill, the Suspension bridge and a 'wrecked' pirate boat with a wobbly barrel bridge to and from Adventureland Adventure Isle is a carefully constructed paradise for kids, but with a lot to appeal to adults.... http://homepages.which.net/~ian/adventureisle.html	5.9k

Autopia Autopia When to ride: 1230pm or last hour the park is open Loading speed; slowish Rating: a little like driving a bad tempered, impossible-to-steer lawn mower that's stuck in a rut...

The Story behind.... The Parades Disney parades are not just parades; they are experiences and you should ensure you see at least one daytime parade and one night-time parade.

Beaver Creek Beaver Creek Tavern Quality: Ambience: Cost: £ Location: Sequoia Lodge Our rating: Exceptionally busy in the mornings...and evenings The vast numbers staying at Sequoia Lodge have simply tended to overwhelm the restaurants to the extent where it's not unusual to see a tented extension on the front lawn.

Buzz Lightyear's Pizza Planet Buzz Lightyear's Pizza Planet Quality: Ambience: Cost: ££ Location: Discoveryland Our rating: Noisy, sometimes full of younger kids and generally not the best restaurant.

Chaparral Theatre This open air theatre is tucked away near the Cowboy Cookout and the Frontierland Train Station.

The Cinemas The Cinema Best time to go: Thursdays only, usually Seating: Adequate Our rating: Difficult to see what is on in English and the counter staff aren't terribly helpful.

Camp Davy Crockett The campsite at the Davy Crocket Ranch is about three miles from the park. The log cabins are very good, and designed to appear secluded.

Getting there early It can pay dividends as this picture shows. Taken half an hour after the park opened, there is virtually no one about.

Eating well on a budget Tip: food throughout the park (and the hotels) is priced the same with the cheapest being the 'Fun Meals' and the costliest being the full service restaurants so it's not worth 'hunting around' for a cheaper meal.

Main St Electrical Parade Main Street Electrical Parade Best place to see it: Town square The Main Street Electrical Parade was brought over (by sea) from Florida's Magic Kingdom where it had served since the park's inception.
