My family loved staying at the Wilderness Lodge right on the property on their last visit last year. They were allowed to check in at 10:00am, as soon as they arrived, and could leave the car there until after the fireworks on the day of check-out. They said they had great rooms, great restaurants, super pool, and all this just a ten minute boat ride from Fantasy Island.
The Fast Pass system is great, but it took me one visit to understand how it works. Once I understood it, I found that you are only allowed to sign up for one Fast Pass per hour.
It takes a few visits and some planning but the way to work the system to go get a Fast Pass as soon as you enter the park. While you are waiting for your time, vist some attractions that don't have Fast Pass. When your hour is up immediately get another Fast Pass and vist more attractions. The thing is that it may take a lot of walking around to do this and I'm sure that as we vist more and more we will figure it all out.
